Red Staining of the LHB and the Rotator Interval on Arthroscopy-A Valid Indicator of Symptomatic Inflammation? A Machine Learning Assisted Investigation.

Background: Tendinopathies of the long head of the biceps (LHB) are a common issue in shoulder surgery.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study is to determine whether the red discoloration observed in the LHB and synovial rotator cuff interval during arthroscopy invariably indicates significant inflammation, which is frequently used to guide therapeutic decisions about LHB tenotomy or tenodesis. Red coloration of the LHB and the surrounding rotator cuff interval would not necessarily be related to the clinical symptoms of the patient.

Development and validation of a sport-specific shoulder score questionnaire for functional fitness and weightlifting athletes.

Background: So-called scores are a frequently used evaluation system in clinical examinations to assess the function or limitations of a joint such as the shoulder. However, research indicates that these general scores often have limited validity for specific patient groups, such as athletes. Known as a demanding patient population, athletes have unique needs.

Hemiarthroplasty in Proximal Humerus Fractures: Does Modular Metaphyseal Stem Design Lead to Better Results? An Analysis of 24 Cases.

Introduction: Anatomic hemiarthroplasty (aHA) is a treatment option for non-reconstructable constructable multifragment proximal humeral fractures that preserves range of motion. Our study aims to evaluate the radiographic and clinical outcomes of patients who received a modular aHA with anatomical sizing of the tubercle-bearing metaphyseal components.

Materials And Methods: The medical records of thirty-nine consecutive patients were reviewed.

Surgical management and results of glenohumeral combination fractures of the anterior glenoid rim and the proximal humerus.

Introduction: The combination of anterior large glenoid rim fractures (GRF) and proximal humerus fractures (PHF) is rare, with limited data available on specific treatments for these glenohumeral combination fractures (GCF). This study aimed to evaluate the treatment approaches for GCF, analyze patient outcomes, and outline surgical management strategies for different fracture types.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included patients with GCF, excluding those with fossa glenoidalis fractures, isolated greater tuberosity fractures, or small glenoid rim fractures (< 5 mm).

The Impact of the SARS-COVID-19 Lockdowns on the Subjectively Perceived Performance Level of Amateur Athletes after Returning to the Gyms.

Since December 2019, few issues have garnered as much global attention as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-19). The imposed lockdowns in 2020/21, which led to the closure of all gyms, barred people from participating in their favourite sports activities. This study explores athletes' self-evaluations of their performance levels upon return to training facilities post-reopening.

Shoulder pathologies in CrossFit: a magnetic resonance imaging study of 51 cases.

Background: Recent scientific work shows that the most common injuries in CrossFit© occur in the shoulder joint. This paper aims to provide a review of shoulder pathologies in a young CrossFit cohort via MRI and clinical examination.

Methods: A survey was conducted in 13 CrossFit "boxes" in Germany, in which athletes with recurrent shoulder pain could report for a clinical examination and MRI diagnostic.

Popular Gym Fitness Sport: An Analysis of 1387 Recreational Athletes Regarding Prone to Pain Exercises and the Corresponding Localisations.

Background: Recreational fitness sports are popular worldwide and rank first among organised sports. This study aims to bridge a knowledge gap by examining which exercises are most prone to causing pain symptoms, as a possible precursor for injury, and analysing the body regions that are most frequently affected.

Methods: Using an online questionnaire, 20 demographic and training-specific items and 49 sport-specific exercises were recorded.

[Traumatic spinal cord injuries in sports: a 22-year analysis performed by a specialized trauma centre].

Introduction: There is not much data on traumatic spinal cord injuries sustained during sports in Germany. This study aims to present the frequency of traumatic spinal cord injuries with neurological involvement within various sports over the past 22 years.

Methods: This study is a retrospective evaluation of traumatic spinal cord injuries (tSCI) in sports sustained in the past 22 years.

An Evaluation of 7279 Sports Injuries from a Level 1 Trauma Center with a Focus on Gender Differences.

Purpose: Hardly any other topic is as current as the gender-conscious medical treatment of every individual. Similarly, in sports, there are crucial differences that should be considered in order to treat everyone appropriately, with the aim to prevent injuries according to their needs. The objective of this study is to show that the differences between biological males and females are so significant that they require both specific injury prevention and therapy programs.

An Analysis of Sport-Specific Pain Symptoms through Inter-Individual Training Differences in CrossFit.

Background: CrossFit is one of the fastest growing "high-intensity functional training" methods in recent years. Due to the very demanding motion sequences and high loads, it was initially assumed that there was an extremely high risk of injury. However, studies have shown that injury rates are given between 0.
