In briefStress fracture of the ribs, an uncommon overuse injury, may mimic recalcitrant intercostal or back muscle strain. This report describes a 36-year-old man who sustained multiple rib stress fractures after he took up golf. Fatigue of the serratus anterior muscle appeared to be the mechanism for his injury. Relative rest followed by strengthening exercises helped the patient return to pain-free activity.

In briefToenail injuries, blisters, calluses, corns and plantar warts frequently cause disability among active people at all levels of training or competition. Simple office procedures, such as making a toenail protection shell or treating a blister, can minimize the patient's time away from his or her sport. Giving athletes tips on proper footwear can often help prevent these painful conditions.

摘要:

In briefThis prospective study of 140 consecutive patients who needed cast immobilization tested the comfort, practicality, and possible cutaneous side effects of a waterproof cast liner that allows swimming, bathing, and hydrotherapy without special drying procedures. Minor cutaneous complications were observed in 4.3% of patients; none required medical care. Odor, itching, and difficulties with drying after wetting were minimal. Physician and patient satisfaction levels with the cast were high.

Whether it is to better their sports performance or to look sleeker in their uniforms, many athletes face particular pressures to lose weight. Despite the public's growing awareness of eating disorders, athletes continue to struggle with them—often at risk to their health. The challenge for primary care physicians is not only to learn the warning signs of these disorders, but also to convince athletes to get medical treatment to overcome them.
