Turf Toe Injury: A Pictorial Review and a Didactic Case Report
This article reviews the anatomy, pathophysiology, classification, and imaging findings of turf toe injuries. In turf toe trauma, many different structures can be injured, with the sesamoid-phalangeal ligaments the most common. Diagnosis, classification, and treatment options rely on clinical evaluation and specific magnetic resonance imaging findings. It is vital for radiologists to understand the anatomy, pathophysiology, and imaging findings of turf toe injuries to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.

The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Sports Medicine and Return to Play
Semin Musculoskelet Radiol 2024; 28: 203-212 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1778019Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown tremendous growth over the last decade, with the more recent development of clinical applications in health care. The ability of AI to synthesize large amounts of complex data automatically allows health care providers to access previously unavailable metrics and thus enhance and personalize patient care. These innovations include AI-assisted diagnostic tools, prediction models for each treatment pathway, and various tools for workflow optimization. The extension of AI into sports medicine is still early, but nume...

Return to Play Following Concussion: Role for Imaging?
Semin Musculoskelet Radiol 2024; 28: 193-202 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1778031This review surveys concussion management, focusing on the use of neuroimaging techniques in return to play (RTP) decisions. Clinical assessments traditionally were the foundation of concussion diagnoses. However, their subjective nature prompted an exploration of neuroimaging modalities to enhance diagnosis and management. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy provides information about metabolic changes and alterations in the absence of structural abnormalities. Diffusion tensor imaging uncovers microstructural changes in white matter. Functional magnetic ...

Postoperative Return to Play and the Role of Imaging
Semin Musculoskelet Radiol 2024; 28: 165-179 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1778024Return to play (RTP) following surgery is a complex subject at the interface of social and internal pressures experienced by the athlete, psychological readiness, and intrinsic healing of the surgically repaired structures. Although functional testing, time from surgery, clinical examination, and scoring metrics can help clarify an athlete's readiness to return to sport, imaging can allow for a more direct assessment of the structures in question. Because imaging is often included in the diagnostic work-up of pain following surgery, the radiologist mus...

Reinjury Following Return to Play
Semin Musculoskelet Radiol 2024; 28: 154-164 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1778022Radiologists are frequently called on for guidance regarding return to play (RTP) for athletes and active individuals after sustaining a musculoskeletal injury. Avoidance of reinjury is of particular importance throughout the rehabilitative process and following resumption of competitive activity. Understanding reinjury risk estimation, imaging patterns, and correlation of clinical and surgical findings will help prepare the radiologist to identify reinjuries correctly on diagnostic imaging studies and optimize management for a safe RTP.

Percutaneous Interventions for Injuries in Athletes: Implications on Return to Play
Semin Musculoskelet Radiol 2024; 28: 146-153 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1778026For nonsurgical musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries in athletes, image-guided percutaneous intervention may aid in recovery and decrease return to play (RTP) time. These interventions fall into two major categories: to reduce inflammation (and therefore alleviate pain) or to promote healing. This review describes the risks and benefits of the various percutaneous interventions in MSK athletic injury and surveys the literature regarding the implication of these interventions on RTP.

Hamstring Injuries: A Paradigm for Return to Play
Semin Musculoskelet Radiol 2024; 28: 119-129 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1778027Muscle injuries are the most common sports-related injuries, with hamstring involvement most common in professional athletes. These injuries can lead to significant time lost from play and have a high risk of reinjury. We review the anatomy, mechanisms of injury, diagnostic imaging modalities, and treatment techniques for hamstring injuries. We also present the latest evidence related to return to play (RTP) after hamstring injuries, including a review of articles targeted to RTP in European soccer (Union of European Football Associations), American fo...
