摘要:

In briefQuadriceps injuries can follow direct or indirect trauma. Accurate diagnosis includes differentiating strains from contusions, along with assessing injury severity. Treatment that maximizes recovery and minimizes the risk of complications goes beyond rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Management of strains includes control of pain, swelling, and inflammation, as well as targeted stretching and strengthening exercises. Immediate care of a quadriceps contusion includes immobilization in flexion and is especially important for a quick recovery. After return to play, a thigh pad should be worn to protect the injury site.

摘要:

In briefThough not frequently reported in the literature, plantar fascia tears or ruptures can occur in running and jumping sports. Misdiagnosis as an acute flare of the much more common plantar fasciitis is possible. Though the injury is initially quite disabling, athletes can-as in this case report-return within weeks to competition with proper diagnosis, intervention, and rehabilitation.

摘要:

In briefBlunt laryngeal injury is a rare but potentially catastrophic event. If the airway is not totally obstructed, the on-site physician should manage the upper airway following basic airway protocols. If the airway becomes totally obstructed on-site, orotracheal intubation using a small-diameter endotracheal tube is the procedure of choice. Translaryngeal ventilation and surgical cricothyrotomy are relatively contraindicated but may need to be used as a last resort. When the need for advanced airway procedures is likely, the patient should be transported expediently by advanced life support ambulance to the nearest appropriate emergency department.

摘要:

In briefDuring a routine preparticipation exam, a 17-year-old asymptomatic boy had a 1+ leukocyte esterase reaction on urinalysis. A subsequent urethral smear was positive forChlamydia trachomatis, apathogen that can cause urethritis or epididymitis in men and cervicitis and infertility in women. Most authorities do not consider a screening urinalysis a necessary part of the preparticipation exam because the yield of significant renal or metabolic disease is low. However, the newer dipstick strips that incorporate the leukocyte esterase test may prompt a reassessment.

摘要:

Carpal tunnel syndrome can result from occupational or recreational overuse. Cycling, rowing, and weight lifting are examples of sports that can provoke or exacerbate the syndrome. A detailed sensory examination, motor testing, and provocative tests such as Phalen's maneuver are essential. Nerve conduction studies may also be useful. Conservative treatment is usually attempted first. Modification of technique and equipment, together with use of a splint, often allows patients to continue their desired activities. In selected cases, carpal tunnel release is effective, but complication rates are high.
