Article Abstract
Objective: This systematic review aimed to answer the question: "What are the risk and protective factors for shoulder complaints (pain, injury, or problem) in indoor volleyball players?".
Methods: Searches were conducted in electronic databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus, as well as reference lists of the included studies. We included studies evaluating potential intrinsic and extrinsic factors associated with shoulder complaints in indoor volleyball players of any country, age, sex, and competitive level. The Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPS) tool was used to assess the risk of bias.
Results: The risk factors for shoulder complaints in volleyball players were identified through four prospective studies, which exhibited a moderate to low risk of bias. These factors included previous shoulder pain or injury, playing in outside and opposite positions, subacromial bursa thickening, and having an average external rotator (ER) isokinetic eccentric torque lower than the average internal rotator (IR) concentric torque. Protective factors were enhancing shoulder IR and ER isokinetic eccentric strength, being male sex, being older, and maintaining a concentric strength ratio ER/IR within the 0.60-0.75 range.
Conclusions: This systematic review highlights risk factors that clinicians and researchers should consider when assessing and tracking indoor volleyball players.

Bruxism is characterized by involuntary movements involving teeth grinding or clenching. It is perceived as a parafunctional activity, and it can lead to instability and various consequences such as dental wear, musculoskeletal pain, masseter hypertrophy, persistent fatigue, and tension headaches. According to the time of occurrence, it can be classified as awake bruxism and/or sleep bruxism.

Introduction: Chronic locked posterior dislocation (CLPD) of the shoulder presents a big challenge to the orthopedic surgeon due to the progressive damage to the glenohumeral articulation and increase in size of the reverse Hill-Sachs lesion (RHSL). Multiple treatment strategies have been postulated depending upon the size of the humeral head defect and the RHSL.
