To identify the most frequent musculoskeletal injuries in CrossFit athletes who participated in a competition in 2017.  A cross-sectional study conducted through the application of a questionnaire to adult competitors of both genders who participated in a competition in 2017.  Among the participants, 44% reported previous injuries, 67.3% of whom were men. The main types of lesions were inflammations, sprains and contusions. The most affected anatomic sites were the shoulder, spine and knee. Among the injured, 34.4% had a previous lesion at the site; 75.8% were undergoing follow-up with healthcare professionals; and all of them practiced CrossFit 5 times a week with a mean duration of the training sessions 68.2 ± 12.4 minutes and mean rest of 1.7 days a week. The duration of the training sessions was the most significant factor (  = 0.002) for the occurrence of injuries.  The percentage of athletes injured due to the practice of CrossFit was of 44%, with a higher incidence among men. The main type of injury was inflammation, and the most exposed anatomical sites were the shoulder, spine and knee.

Identifying why complex tissue regeneration is present or absent in specific vertebrate lineages has remained elusive. One also wonders whether the isolated examples where regeneration is observed represent cases of convergent evolution or are instead the product of phylogenetic inertia from a common ancestral program. Testing alternative hypotheses to identify genetic regulation, cell states, and tissue physiology that explain how regenerative healing emerges in some species requires sampling multiple species among which there is variation in regenerative ability across a phylogenetic framework.

The ARCR_Pred study was initiated to document and predict the safety and effectiveness of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) in a representative Swiss patient cohort. In the present manuscript, we aimed to describe the overall and baseline characteristics of the study, report on functional outcome data and explore case-mix adjustment and differences between public and private hospitals. Between June 2020 and November 2021, primary ARCR patients were prospectively enrolled in a multicenter cohort across 18 Swiss and one German orthopedic center.
