We have previously discussed clavicle fractures and injuries to the AC joint. We also commonly see injuries to the rotator occur with skiing and snowboarding. The rotator cuff is a group of 4 muscles, the tendons of which intertwine with the capsule of the shoulder and help provide stability to the joint. Because they lie close to the joint they are effective as stabilizing muscles, but are quite small in comparison to other muscles in the region, and as such are vulnerable

In this week’s look at the science, we are discussing the recent rise in research into the cross bracing protocol (CBP) as a means of allowing natural healing of the ACL post-rupture, as opposed to a reliance on reconstructive surgery. In the paper above, we see as many as 90% of the cohort treated with CBP showing some degree of ligament healing. There is obviously some apprehension surrounding this protocol, as there is potential to miss out on the crucial early stages of r

Lower back pain is the most common complaint we deal with in orthopedic practice, and while it isn’t the most common winter sports injury, it is still possible to injure this area on the slopes. Lower back pain may come on due to overuse, especially at the start of the season, when we are getting used to an unaccustomed activity again. Or symptoms may start following an acute injury, usually a hard or slightly awkward landing, or a rapid change of direction movement that the

We as health professionals often focus on the benefit of exercise as a method of mitigating stress and anxiety. Most of us have been in sports environments and gyms for a large portion of our lives and find the atmosphere comfortable and engaging. However, this isn’t the same for everyone, and we must acknowledge that in those less experienced with exercise environments, the gym itself may be a cause of anxiety. A recent study looked at strategies for addressing this. Mason,

We mentioned in the last post how twisting movements involving ski poles may cause injury to the wrist. Given the positioning of the thumb with these implements, it is also a common area of injury. The most common injury we see in this region is a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL). So common is this injury that it is colloquially known as “skier’s thumb” (also “gamekeeper’s thumb in hockey). The ligament lies at the articulation between the thumb and the hand, and d

Concussion, also known as a traumatic brain injury (or TBI) is functional disturbance of the brain, typically caused by direct or indirect trauma. As with any injury, concussion needs to be assessed and treated in the correct manner to optimise recovery and avoid long-term disabilities. The acute evaluation involves questioning (using a specific tool such as the sport concussion assessment tool (SCAT)), to ascertain if the person has suffered a concussion. Acute symptoms of a

Should you consider a steroid injection for shoulder pain?

Do I need surgery for my shoulder pain? Physiotherapy can help to prevent surgery in non-traumatic rotator cuff injuries! #fysiofriday #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #osteopathy #rehabilitation #injurymanagement #pain #strengthandconditioning #shoulderpain #rotatorcuff #rotatorcuffrelatedshoulderpain #shoulderimpingement

Rheumatological conditions are problems based around systemic inflammation, rather than being associated with a specific injury or overuse. Because they may behave similarly to regular orthopedic conditions, they may be misdiagnosed. Examples: -Ankylosing spondylitis -Psoriatic arthropathy -Enteropathic spondylitis -Juvenille idiopathic arthrtitis -Crystal arthropathy -Septic arthritis -Lupus -Sjogrens -Scleroderma -Myositis -Mixed/undifferentiated -Hypermobility -Vasculitis

Another area that may be affected during a fall is the hand and wrist. This is usually the result of a fall onto an outstretched hand, or a falling mechanism involving twisting the hand and wrist around the ski pole. There are a number of different injuries that may occur to this region, but the two most common ones are a fracture of the scaphoid and an injury to the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC). A scaphoid fracture will result in pain on the thumb side of the wri

Musculoskeletal injury is a complicated, multi-faceted process, and the specific cause(s) of injury will be unique to the individual. However, in an effort to decrease the occurrence of injury, there is a general hierarchy of importance in terms of measures that can be taken. Health professionals often observe people over-emphasising some of the less important facets of injury prevention, in the process ignoring the “big rocks” Of primary importance is management of training

Whilst many think of physiotherapy interventions being primarily effective for musculoskeletal conditions (muscle tears, joint sprains, spinal pain etc.), exercise therapy has been shown to be effective in the management of metabolic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, high BMI, and mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. Whilst most individuals understand the importance of exercise in these conditions, going it alone and trying to self

Less common than the clavicle fractures and AC joint injuries discussed in the previous posts, a fracture of the upper part of the arm (humerus) may occur with a direct fall onto the side of the arm, as well as with rapid twisting motions involving the shoulder. These injuries may present similarly to other shoulder injuries such as rotator cuff strains (to be covered in a future post), but the telltale sign is significant bruising on the side of the arm. Any traumatic injur
