“…5,11 An understanding of the pattern of SR-related SCIs is necessary to identify the risk groups in terms of age, gender, type of sports and recreation, and mechanism of injury to improve prevention. Numerous studies have shown the features of SR-related SCIs [2][3][4][6][7][8][11][12][13][14][15] and proposed measures for their prevention. [14][15][16] In China, however, SR-related SCIs did not receive sufficient attention.…”

Study design: Retrospective study. Objectives: To determine the characteristics of sports-and recreation-related (SR-related) spinal cord injuries (SCIs) in Beijing. Setting: Beijing, China. Methods: A review of the complete medical records of 57 consecutive SR-related SCI patients referred to four general hospitals and two rehabilitation institutions was carried out. Patients were injured between 1993 and 2006. The variables studied included demography, sports and recreation characteristics, diagnoses and outcome. Results: There were 44 males and 13 females with a ratio of 3.3:1. The mean age was 24.49 ± 11.92 years. In 37 patients (64.9%), water sports was the single most commont cause. Of them, injury because of diving was seen in 34, which constituted 59.6% of the total. Other types of sports and recreation accounted for 35.1%. Level of cord lesion was cervical in 89.5% and thoracic in 10.5% of the injured. The lesion of C4 alone constituted 45.6% of the total. The ratio of complete to incomplete lesion was 1.2:1. In all, two patients died, and one with an injury at the C4 level recovered completely. Of the other 54 survivals, 48 (89%) remained tetraplegic and six remained paraplegic (11%). The main underlying cause was the lack of safety awareness, safety regulations and their implementation. Conclusion: SR-related SCI was most commonly seen among young male adults, predominantly as a result of diving accidents. There was a significant increase in sports injuries, other than those caused by diving, in later years. Successful prevention programs of other countries are being adopted in Beijing in recent years, hence an improvement in safety is expected in the years to come.

However in western countries, the application to emergency units in hospitals have also increased for 19 and under 19 aged children. It is known that the economic loss have increased due to higher treatment costs and being off-game for a long time during treatment. The risk factors of sports injuries in adolescents are categorized in two titles as intrinsic and extrinsic. The basic principles in preventing adolescent athlete injuries are as follows: choosing the suitable sports for children, doing regular health examinations, doing stretching exercises, returning back to sports in proper time after injury treatment and rehabilitation, the reorganization of sport rules and fields according to adolescents, using protective sport equipments, teaching health rules to adolescent athlete and improving the athlete's condition. It has also been shown that the injuries decrease significantly when the preventive strategies for active and passive injuries are used according to protocols. (Turk Arch Ped 2011; 46 Suppl: 46-8)

Aim: to evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of sport injuries of the knee joint as an integral part of the musculoskeletal system. Methods: This study was done as a combined study between the Radiology Department of Zagazig University and the Radiology Department of University of California San Diego. It was conducted on 50 patients who were referred to the Radiology Department of the University of California San Diego. The patients were examined after sustaining different sports injuries of the knee joint. All the 50 patients were subjected to full history taking and Magnetic Resonance Imaging on the knee joint. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging results of 33 of these patients were compared with the results of knee arthroscopy. Results: The study included 50 patients complaining of sports related knee pain. The age of the patients ranged from 15 to 55 years with a mean age of 29.68 years. Most of the patients were males (38 patients), while 12 patients were females. The leading sports for knee injuries in this study were soccer, American football and running. The most common knee lesions were anterior cruciate ligament lesions (19 patients) and meniscal lesions (18 patients). In comparison with knee arthroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging revealed an overall 93.9 % sensitivity and 66.6 % specificity. Conclusion: Although arthroscopy has been considered the gold standard in knee sports injuries evaluation, MRI remains a reliable non-invasive modality that can reduce the use of diagnostic arthroscopy for evaluation of ligamentous, meniscal, bony and cartilaginous lesions.
