Corticosteroid injection of the knee within one month prior to meniscus repair increases the risk of repair failure requiring meniscectomy
CONCLUSION: The study highlights an increased risk of repair failure requiring follow-up meniscectomy for patients receiving intra-articular CSIs within one month prior to meniscus repair. These findings suggest caution when considering CSIs as a treatment option for patients scheduled for meniscus repair. Further research is needed to establish optimal timing guidelines for CSIs in relation to meniscus repair and to understand the underlying mechanisms.PMID:37811919 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2023.2268604 (Source: The Physician and Sportsmedicine Online)

Workman's compensation as exclusion criteria in rotator cuff repair literature - are we inadvertently excluding race?
CONCLUSION: African American and Hispanic/Latino patients are over-represented in workman's compensation patient populations relative to non-workman's compensation. Conversely, white patients are over-represented in non-WC patient populations, which serve as the basis for the majority of clinical study populations. Excluding workman's compensation patients from clinical trials may lead to an underrepresentation of African American and Hispanic/Latino patient populations in orthopedic clinical trials. In doing so, the generalizability of results of rotator cuff repair clinical outcomes research to all races and ethnicities ...

Prevalence of anemia and iron deficiency and its association with body mass index in elite Japanese high school long-distance runners
CONCLUSION: In Japanese high school LDRs, one in six males was anemic, but most males did not have ID. Conversely, one-third of females were diagnosed with ID. Lower BMI was identified as a risk for anemia in females, suggesting that leanness may also lead to anemia in females.PMID:37795704 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2023.2267561 (Source: The Physician and Sportsmedicine Online)
