Male-assisted training and injury patterns: hypergraph-enhanced analysis of injuries in women's water polo.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to compare the injury patterns of female water polo players before and after the implementation of the Male-Assisted Female Training (MAFT) program. The study seeks to identify key factors influencing these changes and propose corresponding injury prevention measures.

Methods: We utilized pattern analysis and classification techniques to explore the injury data.

International Olympic Committee (IOC) consensus paper on sports-related ophthalmology issues in elite sports.

HYLAN G-F 20 VERSUS TRIAMCINOLONE IN THE TREATMENT OF PRIMARY SHOULDER OSTEOARTHRITIS. RANDOMIZED TRIAL.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of using an intra-articular injection of hylan G-F 20 (HA group) on primary shoulder osteoarthritis compared with an intra-articular triamcinolone injection (T group).

Materials And Methods: The patients were randomized into 2 groups: in the HA group a single dose of intra-articular hylan G-F 20 was administered and in the T control group a dose of triamcinolone 20 mg was administered. The participants were evaluated at 1 week, 1, 3, and 6 months after the procedure.

Editorial Commentary: Early Surgery and Restricted Rehabilitation Are Recommended for High-Grade Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation.

Despite acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries being common, there are still controversies about the treatment; nonoperative versus surgical, who to operate, when to operate, which technique to use, and which rehabilitation protocol to use. Orthopaedic surgeons are often faced with these patients fearing not regaining normal function and to some degree acceptable cosmetic outcomes. Despite increasing interest in surgical management of type 3 AC joint injuries, surgical management has not been demonstrated to yield superior functional outcomes compared with nonoperative treatment.

Graft fixation influences revision risk after ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon autografts.

Background and purpose - A large number of fixation methods of hamstring tendon autograft (HT) are available for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Some studies report an association between fixation method and the risk of revision ACLR. We compared the risk of revision of various femoral and tibial fixation methods used for HT in Scandinavia 2004-2011.
