“…Hip ROM deficits are important to assess because reduced hip ROM is linked to non‐contact ACL injuries [12, 13]. Gomes et al [13] examined the total hip IR and ER of 50 male soccer athletes with non‐contact ACL injuries.…”

“…Physical examination findings are also similar in this group of disorders including positive provocative hip tests such as the anterior hip impingement, flexion abduction external rotation (FABER), and log roll [3, 5, 25, 28, 29]. Hip ROM restrictions found in athletes with symptomatic pre‐arthritic hip disorders [3, 5] have also been found in athletes with ACL tears and low back pain (LBP) [12, 13, 37–39]. Additional studies are needed to define the relationships of hip bony morphology and movement with hip, lumbar spine, and knee injuries.…”

Purpose Examination of the hip provides information regarding risk for pre-arthritic hip disorders, knee injuries, and low back pain. The purpose of this study was to report a hip screening examination of asymptomatic female soccer athletes and to test the hypothesis that these findings vary by competition experience. Methods Asymptomatic females from a youth soccer club, a college, and a professional team were evaluated. Passive hip range of motion, hip abduction strength, and hip provocative tests were assessed. Data were compared for the grade/middle school, high school, college, and professional athletes. Results One hundred and seventy-two athletes with a mean age of 16.7 ± 5 years (range 10–30) participated. Professional athletes had less flexion (HF) for both hips (p < 0.0001) and less internal rotation (IR) for the preferred kicking leg (p < 0.05) compared to all other groups. Grade/middle school athletes had more external rotation in both hips as compared to all other groups (p < 0.0001). For the preferred kicking leg, collegiate athletes had less hip abduction strength as compared to other groups (p < 0.01). Positive provocative hip tests were found in 22 % of all players and 36 % of the professionals. In professionals, a positive provocative test was associated with ipsilateral decreased HF (p = 0.04). Conclusion Asymptomatic elite female soccer athletes with the most competition experience had less bilateral hip flexion and preferred kicking leg IR than less-experienced athletes. Positive provocative hip tests were found in 22 % of athletes. Future studies are needed to show whether these findings link to risk for intra-articular hip or lumbar spine and knee disorders. Level of evidence III.

“…Belangero et al 31 evaluated the performance of an extensible nail with hooks, named HIMEX, in osteogenesis imperfecta deformities and found that HIMEX significantly reduced the number of fractures, presenting lower incidence of migration and higher survival rates than those described in literature. Gomes and Konrath 32 discussed ACL reconstructions in young, skeletally immature athletes, which are potentially harmful, both for the tibial and femoral growth plates. Over the last decade, the results of non-operative treatments have been poor, so that currently some recommend that skeletally immature patients undergo surgery, in spite of its potential risks.…”

This review covers recent publications on the motor system (orthopedics and movement) in Brazilian journals recently admitted to the ISI-Thomson Journal of Citations Index. Two of these are still pleading for admission into PubMed which will eventually enhance their global visibility. We offer this contribution to experts on these areas who are regular readers of Revista da Associação Médica Brasileira. Full free copies of all of them are available at www.scielo.br. The main areas covered are orthopedics of limb articulations, fractures, movement, posture, gait, exercise and animal models.
