BRUKNER & KHAN'S CLINICAL SPORTS MEDICINE: INJURIES, VOL. 1

Product Information

Sports injuries are diverse in terms of the mechanism of injury, how they present in individuals, and how the injury should be managed. Defining exactly what a sports injury is can be problematic and definitions are not consistent. Verhagen et al. (2010) highlighted that definitions of sports injury can be discussed in both theoretical and operational terms. [1]

A 12 month prospective study of the relationship between stress fracture and bone turnover in athletes. Calcified Tissue International 63: 80-85, 1998According to Brukner & Kahn (2012) [3] this is one of the most common methods of classifying sports injuries and relies on the sports physiotherapist knowing and understanding both the mechanism of injury and the onset of the symptoms. Tendinopathy refers to a chronic tendon injury with no implication about the aetiology (cause) and is the term that the leading researchers in the field of tendon science have been using in recent years. Overuse injuries are commonly seen in tendons. As a tendon is loaded and the strain increases, there is tissue deformation and some fibres begin to fail. Ultimately, macroscopic tendon failure occurs. Tendon overuse can not be explained as inflammation as research has shown that the histological findings in athletes with overuse tendon injuries do not show signs of inflammation - (there are no inflammatory cells present in surgical specimens). However, the following are seen with overuse tendon injuries: Paste this to view program: www.rcsi.ie/files/facultyofsportsexercise/20140319014402_AD0407_Spring_study_poster_fin.pdf Prakash A, Entwisle T, Schneider M, Brukner P, Connell D.
