Ischial tuberosity avulsion fractures are overall uncommon but are known injuries in the adolescent population. They are the result of sudden, forceful contraction of the hamstring muscle groups. The characteristic radiographic appearance of an ischial tuberosity avulsion fracture is of an irregular ischial margin and a nearby avulsed bone fragment. Callous formation may ensue and appears as a calcific density in the region of injury. Awareness of the spectrum of radiographic presentations can help ensure correct diagnosis and minimize concern for alternative underlying diagnoses. This case report describes a 14-year-old boy with a chronic ischial tuberosity avulsion fracture which demonstrated an unusual presentation on radiographs and required MRI to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other potentially ominous pathology.

With the remarkable advances in diagnostic ultrasound equipment, there is a growing need for ultrasound diagnosis of muscle and soft tissue injuries in sports injuries. Among these, hamstring strains are often difficult to treat and require early and accurate diagnosis. Injuries to the proximal part of the hamstring often take a long time to heal.

: Pressure injuries are localized areas of tissue damage or necrosis that occur when pressure is applied to the skin for prolonged periods, often over bony prominences, often the sacrum, heels, ischial tuberosities, and greater trochanters. The pathophysiology is complex, involving a combination of mechanical forces, ischemia, and tissue hypoxia. : We conducted a 2-year retrospective study aiming to assess the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and management of pressure injuries in patients admitted to an emergency hospital who underwent a plastic surgery examination.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty is the preferred treatment for advanced hip osteoarthritis, yet complications like hip dislocation (0.2 %-10 %) persist due to factors such as implant design, positioning, surgical technique, and patient-specific conditions. Impingement between prosthetic components or the acetabulum and proximal femur is a primary cause of instability.

The main aim of this study was to compare sitting pressure (peak pressure index (PPI) and peak pressure gradient (PPG)) between a daily wheelchair and fixed-frame handcycle, thereby assessing the effect of handcycle backrest angle, movement intensity and cushion type. Twenty able-bodied participants performed static and dynamic (two intensities) tests in a wheelchair and handcycle. A honeycomb wheelchair cushion and standard foam handcycle cushion were used.
