Clinical/methodological Issue: Due to active participation of children and adolescents in school sports as well as in club sports, sporting injuries in childhood are common. Because skeletal maturity is not yet complete, injury patterns in children differ from sporting injuries in adults. Knowledge of the pathophysiologic characteristics, as well as knowledge of typical injury sequelae, is of great relevance to radiologists. This review article therefore deals with common acute and chronic sporting injuries in children.
Standard Radiological Methods: Basic diagnostic imaging comprises conventional X‑ray imaging in two planes. In addition, sonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are used.
Practical Recommendations: Close consultation with clinical colleagues and knowledge of childhood-specific injuries help identify sports-associated trauma sequelae.

Objective: Compare time to recovery between initial and repeat concussions.
Design: Retrospective review of electronic medical record.
Setting: An interdisciplinary concussion clinic.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to generate knowledge about the epidemiology and risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in handball. It was hypothesised that the incidence of ACL injuries is high and comparable to other pivoting sports like football.
Methods: This study is based on the prospective 'ACL registry in German Sports' implemented in the 2016-2017 season.

Introduction: Officials are essential in terms of player safety and injury prevention, especially in contact team sports such as ice hockey, where numerous fast pace and high force contacts occur. If against the rules, these collisions can result in penalties. However, there is limited literature on the inter-rater reliability of the officials' decisions.

Background: Traditional examinations of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries focus primarily on static assessments and lack the ability to evaluate dynamic knee stability. Hence, a dynamic scoring system for knee function is needed in clinical settings. This study aimed to propose a dynamic scoring system based on a large sample of normative six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) knee kinematics during gait, and validate its correlation with conventional outcome measurements in assessing ACL-injured knees.

Background: Hip fracture is common and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) influence platelet hemostasis and might result in abnormal bleeding. This study aims to determine whether the use of SSRIs in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery is associated with the risk of perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion.
