Abstract
Stress fracture is the result of bone destruction with prolonged and repetitive loading. It usually occurs among various groups, including athletes, military recruits, and others. Early stress fractures often undergo undiagnosed or misdiagnosed because of atypical symptoms and effective medical examination. Here, we report a rare clinical case about the multiple stress fractures in one adolescent. Expect for the pathological biopsy, it hardly gets confirm diagnosis. With the increasing population of sports lover, healthcare institutions should be enhanced their understanding of stress fractures and enable effective management at an early stage.

Abstract
Bone health is crucial at all stages of life. Several medical conditions and changes in lifestyle affect the growth, structure, and functions of bones. This may lead to the development of bone degenerative disorders, such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc., which are major public health concerns worldwide. Accurate and reliable measurement and monitoring of bone health are important aspects for early diagnosis and interventions to prevent such disorders. Significant progress has recently been made in developing new sensing technologies that offer non-invasive, low-cost, and accurate measurements of bone health. In this review, we have described bone remodeling processes and common bone disorders. We have also compiled information on the bone turnover markers for their use as biomarkers in biosensing devices to monitor bone health. Second, this review details biosensing technology for bone health assessment, including the latest developments in various non-invasive techniques, including dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and biosensors. Further, we have also discussed the potential of emerging technologies, such as biosensors based on nano- and micro-electromechanical systems and application of artificial intelligence in non-invasive techniques for improving bone health assessment. Finally, we have summarized the advantages and limitations of each technology and described clinical applications for detecting bone disorders and monitoring treatment outcomes. Overall, this review highlights the potential of emerging technologies for improving bone health assessment with the potential to revolutionize clinical practice and improve patient outcomes. The review highlights key challenges and future directions for biosensor research that pave the way for continued innovations to improve diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of bone-related diseases.

[PMID: 38569401 DOI: 10.1016/j.gaitpost.2024.03.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Landing from heights is a common movement for active-duty military personnel during training. And the additional load they carry while performing these tasks can affect the kinetics and ankle kinematic of the landing. Traditional motion capture techniques are limited in accurately capturing the in vivo kinematics of the talus. This study aims to investigate the effect of additional trunk load on the kinematics of the talocrural and subtalar joints during landing, using a dual fluoroscopic imaging system (DFIS). METHODS Fourteen healthy male participants were recruited. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed on the right ankle of each participant to create three-dimensional (3D) models of the talus, tibia, and calcaneus. High-speed DFIS was used to capture the images of participants performing single-leg landing jumps from a height of 40 cm. A weighted vest was used to apply additional load, with a weight of 16 kg. Fluoroscopic images were acquired with or without additional loading condition. Kinematic data were obtained by importing the DFIS data and the 3D models in virtual environment software for 2D-3D registration. The kinematics and kinetics were compared between with or without additional loading conditions. RESULTS During added trunk loading condition, the medial-lateral translation range of motion (ROM) at the talocrural joint significantly increased (p < 0.05). The subtalar joint showed more extension at 44-56 ms (p < 0.05) after contact. The subtalar joint was more eversion at 40-48 ms (p < 0.05) after contact under the added trunk load condition. The peak vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) significantly increased (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS With the added trunk load, there is a significant increase in peak vGRF during landing. The medial-lateral translation ROM of the talocrural joint increases. And the kinematics of the subtalar joint are affected. The observed biomechanical changes may be associated with the high incidence of stress fractures in training with added load.

[PMID: 38800197 PMCID: PMC11127697 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.59013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Iliac stress fractures (ISF) are uncommon in sports, particularly among runners, and are attributed to repetitive loading and other predisposing factors. ISF poses diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms and the limited sensitivity of conventional imaging procedures. The reported case is about a 51-year-old male marathon runner with consecutive bilateral ISF. Initial symptoms included mechanical pain in the right buttock, leading to a diagnosis confirmed via pelvic MRI. Conservative management with eight weeks rest from sport activity was indicated with symptom resolution and return to sport. However, 20 days after returning to sport, the patient developed left-sided symptoms post-resumption of running, with MRI confirming a new ISF. An additional eight weeks of rest was prescribed, allowing the patient to resume sport at preinjury levels. ISF should be considered in runners presenting with gluteal pain, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis. MRI emerges as a valuable tool for accurate diagnosis, guiding appropriate management strategies. Conservative management focusing on rest is paramount for favorable outcomes and optimizing runners' health and performance.

Abstract
The female athlete triad (TRIAD) is a spectrum of disorders involving low energy availability (LEA), low bone mineral density, and menstrual disorders. It is increasingly common to use the term 'relative energy deficiency in sport' (RED), emphasising the extensive impact of LEA on the body. The aim of this narrative review was to gather original research encompassing female athletes across various sports as well as to collect findings on the potential of a nutrition-focused approach to prevent or treat the aforementioned disorders. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed and Scopus. Several challenges were identified regarding the adequacy of the energy availability, protein, and carbohydrate requirements in the diets of female athletes. Moreover, insufficient intake of vitamin D has been observed across all athlete groups studied. This insufficiency also extends to the average requirement for Ca, Mg, the Ca/P ratio, Zn, and Fe. To address those concerns, a nutritional approach is proposed in the latter part of this review. The factors that can improve the absorption of micronutrients have also been discussed. The TRIAD/REDs affect an ever-growing number of women and require appropriate therapeutic management, particularly through nutritional care. Therefore, cooperation within an interdisciplinary team comprising a physician, nutritionist, physiotherapist, and psychologist is crucial.
