Generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) has been mentioned as one of the factors associated with dance injuries, but the findings are inconclusive. This study aims to investigate whether GJH, based on different Beighton score cut-off points, is a potential risk factor for injuries in pre-professional dancers. Four cohorts of first-year pre-professional dancers ( = 185), mean age 19.1 ± 1.3 years, were screened on musculoskeletal functioning at the start of their academic year. The Beighton score was used to measure GJH. During the academic year, the dancers completed monthly questionnaires about their physical and mental health. Based on the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre Questionnaire on Health Problems (OSTRC), three injury definitions were used (i.e., all complaints, substantial injury, and time-loss injury). To examine potential risk factors for injuries, univariate and multivariate regression models were applied. The response rate of monthly completed questionnaires was 90%. The overall mean (SD) Beighton score was 2.8. The 1-year injury incidence proportion was 67.6% ( = 125), 43.2% ( = 80), and 54.6% ( = 101) for all complaint injuries, substantial injuries, and time-loss injuries, respectively. The multivariate analyses showed a significant association between a previous long lasting injury in the past year and the three injury definitions ( < 0.05). Pre-professional contemporary dancers are at high risk for injuries and hypermobility. However, these two variables are not associated with each other. Health professionals should take injury history into account when assessing dance students, because this variable is associated with increased injury risk.

Purpose: To assess whether capsular closure during hip arthroscopy with periportal capsulotomy affects 2-year postoperative outcomes for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) patients without hypermobility.
Methods: A matched-cohort retrospective analysis of a single institutional database of patients who underwent hip arthroscopy with periportal capsulotomy for management of FAIS between 2014-2022 was performed. Study inclusion criteria consisted of FAIS patients who exhibited no signs of generalized ligamentous laxity (GLL) (Beighton score 0).

Objective: To explore effectiveness of arthroscopic Eden-Hybinette procedure with Triple-Pulley and four point anti-rotation fixation technique in the treatment of recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder joint.
Methods: A clinical data of 14 patients with recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder joint and glenoid bone defect, who were met the selective criteria and admitted between February 2021 and February 2022, was retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with arthroscopic Eden-Hybinette procedure and the bone blocks were fixed by using Triple-Pulley and four point anti-rotation fixation technique.
Impact of joint hypermobility on lumbar positional changes in back pain patients: a cross-sectional weight-bearing MRI study.
Eur Spine J

Department of Rheumatology, The Parker Institute, Copenhagen University Hospital, Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital, Nordre Fasanvej 57, 2000, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Purpose: To investigate positional lumbar changes by weight-bearing MRI in low back pain (LBP) patients with hypermobile joints (Beighton score ≥ 4).
Methods: Patients referred to weight-bearing MRI went through a clinical examination, including Beighton's test, answered back pain-related questionnaires, and were hereafter imaged in supine and standing in a 0.25-T MRI unit.
Borderline hip dysplasia (BHD) remains challenging to treat, with conflicting outcomes reported for hip arthroscopy (HA) alone and periacetabular osteotomy. This may be in part because of heterogeneity in the definitions for BHD with respect to measurements such as the lateral center-edge angle, Tönnis angle, and anterior wall index. Recent research analyzing predictors of poor outcomes after HA alone for patients with BHD has shown that the predominant predictors of poor outcomes after HA included Tönnis angle of 15° or greater, age at surgery greater than 40 to 42 years, female sex, preoperative clinical arthritis, grade 3 or 4 articular cartilage changes to the femoral head or acetabulum, anterior wall index lower than 0.

- ACL injuries are increasingly common in young patients, prompting research focused on improving surgical methods for ACL reconstruction (ACLR), particularly regarding graft choice and risk factors.
- Allograft is not recommended for these patients, and the use of bone-tendon-bone grafts is discouraged due to complications with growth plates; quadriceps tendon autograft is preferred due to lower failure rates.
- Non-modifiable risk factors include specific anatomical traits and injury patterns, where athletes with these characteristics may benefit from additional procedures like a modified Lemaire for better outcomes in return to contact sports.
