Allogenic Umbilical Cord Tissue for Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis
We reported that its administration is safe, and resulted in 50% pain reduction and improvement in knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (over 10%) and 36-item short form survey (25%). Another study reported no adverse events post injection of similar formulation and statistically significant (P (Source: Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review)

Low-Dose NSAIDs Efficacy in Orthopedic Applications
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) [cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors] and COXIBs (the COX-2 selective inhibitors) may induce several potentially severe and life-threatening issues especially in elderly patients. The use of low-dose NSAIDs is associated with lower risk of side effects compared to the standard dosage. Low-dose NSAIDs could minimize the side effects of these drugs while maintaining their clinical efficacy and effectiveness. The present study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of low-dose NSAIDs in musculoskeletal applications. (Source: Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review)

Biological Targets of Multimolecular Therapies in Middle-Age Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition, prevalent in middle-agedness, associated with chronic pain and impaired quality of life. Two interrelated biological processes fuel early OA progression: inflammation and structural tissues catabolism. Procatabolic and proinflammatory mediators are interconnected and form part of a self-perpetuating loop. They leverage OA research complexity because of the impossibility to discern certain spatiotemporal tissues’ changes from others. Both are shared targets of versatile regenerative multimolecular therapies. In particular, platelet-rich plasma can interfere with inflammation...

Osteoarthritis Risks and Sports: An Evidence-based Systematic Review
Conclusion: Football and soccer players seem to be at higher risk for the development of OA, although the injury status of the joint should be considered when assessing the risk of OA. High equipment weight and increased injury risk also put military personnel at a higher risk of OA, although elite dancing leads to more hip labral tears. Femoroacetabular impingement was also often diagnosed in ice-hockey players and ballet dancers. (Source: Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review)

Intensive Physical Activity Increases the Risk of Knee and Hip Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review
Conclusion: Intense physical exercise, implying a high cumulative number of hours of exercise which can lead to excessive joint overload, in both sexes is associated with greater likelihood of early knee and hip OA which may lead to prosthetic surgery. Moderate and recreational exposure to sport has minor degenerative effects, and is not associated with early onset OA requiring arthroplasty. (Source: Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review)

Orthobiologics for the Management of Early Arthritis in the Middle-Aged Athlete
This article is dedicated to the use of orthobiologic therapies in the management of early osteoarthritis in middle-aged athletes. Understanding a patient’s presenting symptoms, physical examination, imaging results, and goals is of critical importance in applying orthobiologic therapies. The field of orthobiologics is expanding at a rapid pace, and the clinical studies examining the utility of each treatment lag behind the direct-to-consumer marketing that leads to these products being used. Here we provide a review of the available treatments, emerging treatments, and the current literature supporting or refuting their...

Osteoarthritis of the Knee in Middle-age Athletes: Many Measures are Practiced, but Lack Sound Scientific Evidence
Osteoarthritis of the knee generally affects individuals from the fifth decade, the typical age of middle-age athletes. In the early stages, management is conservative and multidisciplinary. It is advisable to avoid sports with high risk of trauma, but it is important that patients continue to be physically active. Conservative management offers several options; however, it is unclear which ones are really useful. This narrative review briefly reports the conservative options for which there is no evidence of effectiveness, or there is only evidence of short-term effectiveness.

The Influence of Athletes’ Age in the Onset of Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review
Conclusions: Our systematic review suggests an association between high levels of physical activities and knee and hip OA in men younger than 50 years. People who practice intense physical activity, such as professional athletes or heavy workers, are more prone to develop early-onset OA. (Source: Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review)

Elderly Runners and Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review
Conclusion: Middle aged runners did not present greater imaging or clinical signs of OA compared with nonrunner controls. Running at elite or recreational level did not increase the rate of OA progression in individuals older than 50 years. (Source: Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review)

Osteoarthritis in Athletes Versus Nonathletes: A Systematic Review
Conclusion: Certain sports, such as soccer, handball, ice-hockey, and rugby are more likely to be associated with premature knee and hip OA. Conversely, runners and ballet dancers do not evidence significant increase in OA. Moderate and recreational exposure to aerobic sports does not accelerate the development of OA.

Vascular Complications in Sports Surgery: Diagnosis and Management
Orthopedic sports surgery of the knee and shoulder is generally considered to be safe and effective. Vascular complications can occur during or after arthroscopy of either joint. A thorough understanding of anatomy, particularly when placing portals in non-routine locations, is extremely important. Prompt recognition of any vascular complication is of significant importance. This review will discuss the potential vascular complications for both knee and shoulder sports surgery, review the relevant anatomy, and discuss the treatment and expected outcome of each.

Complications in Elbow Arthroscopy: Management and Prevention
With advances in the understanding of elbow anatomy, pathologies of the elbow, arthroscopic instrumentation, and surgical techniques over recent decades, elbow arthroscopy has become a valuable treatment modality for a variety of conditions. Elbow arthroscopy has gained utility for treating problems such as septic arthritis, osteoarthritis, synovitis, osteophyte and loose body excision, contracture release, osteochondral defects, select fractures, instability, and lateral epicondylitis. Accordingly, precise knowledge of the neurovascular anatomy, safe arthroscopic portal placement, indications, and potential complications ...
