Article Synopsis
  • - Bone stress injuries (BSIs) are overuse injuries that occur when there's repetitive strain on bone, either from excessive physical activity on healthy bone or normal activity on already weakened bone, often seen in younger athletes and those with medical conditions affecting bone density.
  • - Stress fractures are a severe form of BSIs, representing about 20% of cases and show clear signs on imaging; untreated, they can lead to complete fractures, with the main symptoms being localized pain and tenderness in response to increased physical loads.
  • - Treatment involves early intervention, focusing on modifying risk factors like nutrition and activity; imaging such as X-rays and MRIs help confirm BSIs, with management approaches varying based on the injury's severity and location, necessitating specialist

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are due to jumping, rapid decelerating, or quick changes in direction, but recent research indicates that accumulated tissue fatigue from repetitive submaximal knee loading can also cause ACL disruption. Partial degenerative ACL tears due to overuse are currently thought to be asymptomatic until the ligament is at least 50% torn. In this case, a 36-year-old female runner presenting with sharp lateral joint line knee pain, which precluded running or hiking over one mile, was found to have an atraumatic 10% thickness ACL tear.

Injury to the elbow is very common in the throwing athlete and can potentially lead to long absences from play and, in the most severe scenarios, medical retirement. The throwing motion is a highly complex series of movements through the entire kinetic chain that results in very high angular velocities and valgus forces at the elbow joint. The repetitive nature of overhead throwing in combination with the high levels of accumulated force at the elbow puts both pediatric and adult athletes at risk of both acute and chronic overuse injuries of the elbow.
