Review Case Reports[Proximal adductor longus tendon tear in high level athletes. A report of three cases].
Chronic groin pain in athletes frequently results from adductor insertional tendinopathy. Adductor tenotomy has been proposed for cases recalcitrant to conservative treatment. ⋯ Diagnosis has been made clinically and was confirmed by ultrasound and MRI. Following early repair using suture anchors and functional postoperative rehabilitation, full sports ability was re-established five, six and seven months, respectively.

[Mountainbike injuries in world-cup and recreational athletes].
This study investigated the incidence and frequency of injuries in mountainbike sports among competitive and recreational athletes. In a retrospective study design mountain-bike athletes were interviewed by means of a standardized questionnaire with regard to sports injuries and damages within the previous two years. The evaluation of time relative injury-rate was carried out under consideration of class and competition discipline. 75 % of the distributed questionnaires returned completed by 106 World-Cup (39 female symbol 67 male symbol, 23.1 y) and 134 recreational athletes (17 female symbol 117 male symbol, 27.4 y). ⋯ Although World-Cup participation does not result in essential injury-increase, the downhill discipline is characterized by a higher injury risk. Presumably in view of the performance orientation, there is a higher degree of risk readiness. Despite the riding performance and the obligatory safety equipment a remarkable number of bone and head injuries results.
