The aim of this study was to quantify and rate acute sport climbing injuries. Acute injuries occurring from 2002 2006 were retrospectively assessed with a standardized web based questionnaire. A total number 1962 climbers reported 699 injuries, which is equivalent 0.2 per 1 000 h participation. Most (74.4%) the minor severity rated NACA I or II. Injury distribution between upper (42.6%) lower extremities (41.3%) similar, ligament contusions fractures being most common injury types. Years...
Purpose: Ruptures of the finger flexor pulleys are most frequent injuries in rock climbers. Whereas multiple pulley demand a surgical reconstruction, single ruptures mainly treated conservatively. Nevertheless, question clinical outcome or persisting strength deficit after conservative therapy arises. Methods: Twenty-one climbers (age 34 ± 9 yr) with grade 2-4 injury were reevaluated 3.46 (range: 0.25-18) yr injury. The evaluation followed standard questionnaire combination an ultrasound...
Flexor tendon pulley ruptures are the most common injury in rock climbers. Therapeutic standards usually include a prolonged use of taping applied as replacement for lost circular fashion at base proximal phalanx. Our biomechanical considerations, however, suggest new method, H-tape. The purpose study is to evaluate whether this method can effectively change course flexor and therefore reduce tendon–bone distance. In order compare effects different methods described literature with newly...
Radiographic adaptations and changes in adult climbers are a well-known fact, but few data available for young climbers.Radiographic have been shown highly active climbers. The question arises whether these may lead to an early onset of osteoarthrosis the fingers.Cohort study; Level evidence, 2.Ten members German Junior National Team (GJNT; 21.0 +/- 1.6 years) 10 recreational (RC; 19.9 1.9 were examined using standard questionnaire radiographs hand. For comparison, 12 nonclimbers (control...
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 new approach. Methods Set up prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial, this study involved 50 patients epicondylitis. Following external randomization, 25 received one round ACP (platelet rich plasma, PRP), while remaining placebo 0.9 %...
Background:In the past few years, competition climbing has grown in popularity, and younger people are being drawn to sport. Purpose:While radiographic changes long-term climbers known, there little data available on adolescent climbers. The question arises as whether at high levels a young age leads possibly an early onset of osteoarthritis finger joints. Methods:A total 19 members German Junior National Team (GJNT group) 18 recreational (RC were examined clinically radiographically 1999....
Objective This study aims to prospectively analyse current demographics, distribution and severity of climbing injuries in adolescents. We hypothesised that the injury adolescent climbers would differ from adults, as presented literature primary periphyseal stress finger (PPSI) will be very common correlate with training hours level. Methods performed a prospective single-centre surveillance all (<18 years age) who between 2017 2020. A standard questionnaire, including questions for...
We report here the case of a 17-year-old boy who suffered acute renal failure after consuming 3 L energy drink (ED) in combination with 1 vodka amounting to 4600 mg taurine and 780 caffeine mixed 380 g alcohol. The consumption this mixture is extremely popular adolescents, because joint effects reduce effect Although there have been reports deaths linked EDs without alcohol, awareness possible dangers still low. fact that athletes major sports events are sponsored by ED manufacturers implies...
Introduction: Ice-climbing is widely considered to be a hazardous sport with high risk of injury. To date, there has been no scientific analysis characterize and reveal the prevalence injury in this sport. The purpose study was quantify rate ice-climbing injuries. Methods: Eighty-eight ice-climbers (water ice) (13 female, 75 male, mean age 34.6 years) from nine countries completed comprehensive questionnaire on accidents injuries, climbing frequency taking behaviour. Iceclimbing hours were...
