Randomized Controlled TrialAutologous Conditioned Plasma Versus Placebo Injection Therapy in Lateral Epicondylitis of the Elbow: A Double Blind, Randomized Study.
Introduction There are various therapeutic approaches to the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, a highly prevalent musculoskeletal disorder. Recently, injection therapy with autologous conditioned plasma (ACP) has shown promise as a new approach. Methods Set up as a prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial, this study involved 50 patients with lateral epicondylitis. ⋯ It is hypothesized that, in accordance with the study protocols, injection with a local anaesthetic prior to ACP therapy may have an influence on the therapeutic effect of ACP. Future studies have to confirm recent findings that demonstrated a minimizing, or even inhibiting, action of local anaesthetics on the effects of ACP/PRP. Conclusion The effect of ACP/PRP injections needs to be investigated in future studies under standardized conditions.

Review Meta Analysis[Injuries in the Martial Arts Judo, Taekwondo and Wrestling - A Systematic Review].
Martial arts such as judo, taekwondo and wrestling are regulated, usually athletic duels. The aim is to score better than your opponent or to win. As with any type of sport, athletes in martial arts sustain minor and major injuries, which may have many negative consequences. In addition, sports injuries and their rehabilitation generate high costs to the healthcare system. In contrast to the FIFA 11+ warm-up program, no preventive programs have been postulated for injury prevention in these martial arts. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review was to summarise the latest research findings and to evaluate whether initial recommendations can be given for the reduction of injuries in the martial arts judo, wrestling and taekwondo. ⋯ Due to the moderate methodological quality and the injury type of effusion, it is not possible to formulate recommendations for injury prevention. Moreover, uniform definitions should be developed to describe sports injuries.

Multicenter Study[Impact of Self-Reported Fatigue on ACL Injuries in Alpine Skiing: A Sex Comparison].
In recreational alpine skiing, about one third of all injuries affect the knee joint, and the most common diagnosis in adult male and female skiers is a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which makes up 15 - 21 % of all injuries. General preventive recommendations to reduce the incidence of ski injuries include avoiding fatigue. However, it seems unclear to what extent ACL injuries in male and female recreational skiers are related to perceived fatigue. ⋯ Based on the findings of this study, fatigue does not seem to be a major risk factor for an ACL injury among male and female recreational skiers.

Review[Tendinopathies of the Lower Extremities in Sport--Diagnostics and Therapy].
Tendinopathies are frequently the cause of chronic, load-dependent complaints of the lower extremity. Commonly, the large tendons of the ankle and knee joints are affected, especially the Achilles and patellar tendons. Repeated overuse in sports and/or daily activities is assumed as the aetiology. ⋯ A combination with physical therapy interventions can be useful. In cases of a more severe pathology and long-standing complaints multimodal therapeutic options should be employed. The use of surgical treatment procedures should only be taken into account in case of failed response to conservative treatment.

Case Reports[Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Talus with Hindfoot Malalignment--Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis with Lateral Calcaneal Distraction Osteotomy in an Internationally Successful Young Female Ski Racer].
Osteochondritis dissecans of the talus (ODT) describes a special entity of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT). In the case of an advanced stage or failure of conservative treatment, a wide variety of surgical treatment strategies for osteochondral defects of the ankle have been described. In most cases, the ODT leads to a loss in sports time and competition. ⋯ The following case report describes a positive course after an autologous matrix-associated chondrogenesis (AMIC) combined with a lateral calcaneal distraction osteotomy. At this time the athlete is reintegrated in elite sports and takes part in the normal training programmes.
