Ryan L, Doody O. The treatment, outcomes and management of hand, wrist, finger, and thumb injuries in the professional/amateur contact sport athletes: A scoping review. Int J Orthop Trauma Nurs 2024; 54:101108. [PMID: 38885544 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijotn.2024.101108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Amateur and professional participation in sport and physical activity worldwide is increasing in popularity, which in turn is increasing the volume and types of injuries sustained by athletes. Ensuring these injuries are treated appropriately and efficiently is paramount for athletes' recovery and return to sport in a timely and safe manner. METHODS A scoping review to map the evidence regarding the treatment, outcomes and management of hand, wrist, finger, and thumb injuries in the professional/amateur athlete from contact sports. A search of seven electronic databases; SPORTdiscus, CINAHL, Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library and grey literature was conducted in January 2024. The reporting of the review is in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews Checklist. Inductive content analysis was used to examine the data and the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme was used to appraise the quality of the included studies. RESULTS Eight papers met the inclusion criteria and three themes emerged addressing the return to play/sport, surgical and conservative treatment and the most common/reoccurring injuries sustained from contact sports. CONCLUSION Managing hand, wrist, finger, and thumb injuries in athletes requires a varied approach depending on the type of injury, treatment options, and external pressures. While conservative treatment is common and effective, surgical intervention may be necessary in certain cases to improve recovery and facilitate a faster return to sport. Preventive measures in high-risk sports settings could help reduce the incidence of these injuries.

Chaari F, Rahmani A, Rebai H, Fendri T, Boyas S, Sahli S. Is there a relationship between static postural control and core stability? A cross-sectional study in soccer players with groin pain. J Orthop 2024; 48:1-5. [PMID: 38054024 PMCID: PMC10694616 DOI: 10.1016/j.jor.2023.11.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Static postural control disorders have been documented in soccer players suffering from groin pain (GP). Understanding the mechanisms of these disorders is crucial in designing rehabilitation programs. Objectives To (i) assess static postural control and core stability in soccer players suffering from GP compared to their peers and (ii) explore the relationship between these two parameters. Methods This cross-sectional study involved 42 male soccer players suffering from GP (GP group: GPG) and 42 healthy players (control group: CG). Static postural control (stabilometric platform) and core stability (core endurance tests) were assessed. Results Center of pressure velocity in the GPG was significantly higher compared to the CG during bipedal stance on the firm surface with eyes closed (2.66 [95 % CI: 0.86-3.67]; p < 0.01) and on the foam one (p < 0.001) in both conditions; eyes opened (2.88 [95 % CI: 1.42-4.43]) and closed (5.88 [95 % CI: 2.66-9.10]), and on the IL in eyes closed (12.54 [95 % CI: 4.27-20.80]; p < 0.01). Besides, GPG revealed significant (p < 0.001) lower core stability measures compared to CG. No significant associations (p > 0.05) were observed between static postural control and core stability in GPG. Conclusion Soccer players suffering from GP showed static disorders of postural control compared with their peers. These impairments were not associated with measures of core stability. These findings provide insight into the direction of future research exploring the mechanisms underlying deficits in static postural control in soccer players suffering from GP.
