Background and Purpose— We investigated whether brain arteriovenous malformation silent intralesional microhemorrhage, that is, asymptomatic bleeding in the nidal compartment, might serve as a marker for increased risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). evaluated 2 markers to assess occurrence microhemorrhage: neuroradiological assessment evidence old hemorrhage—imaging before outcome events–and hemosiderin positivity hematoxylin eosin-stained paraffin block sections. Methods—...
Recent studies have questioned the efficacy of meniscectomy in older patients with and without evidence osteoarthritis; however, it continues to be frequently performed. There is limited information about age other risk factors for adverse events readmission after procedure. This knowledge vital understand true profile this common surgery.To investigate if medical comorbidities were postoperative meniscectomy.Case-control study; Level evidence, 3.Patients who underwent arthroscopic between...
Background: While there is concern regarding head, face, and eye injuries in field hockey, prompting some to recommend the use of protective equipment such as goggles helmets, little has been written about their incidence mechanism injury modern game hockey. The elucidation this information will better inform development maximally effective prevention schemes protect athlete while maintaining integrity game. Purpose: To determine epidemiology United States collegiate women’s hockey players...
The advent of Web-based sports injury surveillance via programs such as the High School Reporting Information Online system and National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance Program has aided acquisition data for girls' women's field hockey injuries.To describe epidemiology injuries sustained in high school 2008-2009 through 2013-2014 academic years collegiate 2004-2005 using surveillance.Descriptive study.Online from teams girls (annual average = 61) women 14).Girls' players...
Physical therapy (PT) rehabilitation is critical to successful outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Later-stage rehabilitation, including sport-specific exercises, increasingly recognized for restoring high-level knee function. However, supervised PT visits have historically been concentrated during the early stages of recovery ACLR.To assess number and temporal utilization ACLR in a national cohort. We hypothesized that would be postoperative period.Descriptive...
There is limited research regarding the epidemiology of hip/groin injuries in ice hockey, majority which restricted to time-loss only.To describe collegiate men's and women's hockey from 2009-2010 through 2014-2015.Descriptive study.Hip/groin injury data National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance Program (NCAA-ISP) during 2014-2015 seasons were analyzed. rates, rate ratios (RRs), proportion (IPRs) reported with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).During seasons, 421 114...
We present a novel method for quantifying femoral orientation angles using thigh-mounted inertial measurement unit (IMU). The IMU-derived reproduce gold-standard motion capture to within mean (standard deviation) differences of 0.1 (1.1) degrees on cadaveric specimens during clinical procedures used the diagnosis Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI). method, which assumes stationary pelvis, is easy use, inexpensive, and provides femur trajectory data in addition range measures. These...
Men's lacrosse has been one of the fastest growing team sports in United States, at both collegiate and high school levels. Uniquely, it combines continuous overhead contact activity. Thus, an understanding its injury epidemiology mechanisms is vital. Shoulder injuries have shown to be common sport, but thus far there no dedicated analysis these with which better inform prevention strategies.Descriptive study.All athlete exposures (AEs) shoulder reported National Collegiate Athletic...
Background Evidence shows that after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, patients may have varied access to physical therapy. In particular, therapy input end many months before reach full recovery. Telerehabilitation provide an opportunity address this rehabilitation gap and improve evidence-based alongside at all stages of care. Objective This study aims understand the opinions who undergone ACL surgery on use telerehabilitation as part care define population explore their...
The extent to which physical therapy (PT) is used after meniscectomy unknown. objective of this study was estimate the PT implemented and identify factors associated with its utilization.

Traumatic hip dislocations are rare injuries that most commonly occur in motor vehicle accidents. There is a paucity of literature describes sports-related dislocations.To estimate the incidence and determine any sport- or sex-related epidemiological trends using National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database.Descriptive epidemiology study.Data regarding from 2010 to 2019 were retrieved NEISS, database catalogs injury information during emergency department visits 100...
Background: While the importance of structured rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), particularly in return-to-sport phase, is known, for most patients, supervised physical therapy often completed before this time point. The recent emergence telerehabilitation and other digital health interventions has potential to address "rehabilitation gap." Methods: study was conducted as a cross-section, online survey collecting qualitative quantitative data from...
This study describes the epidemiology of back/neck/spine injuries in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) men's and women's ice hockey.
