“…Several studies report that the incidence of Achilles tendinopathy in runners accounts for 6-18% of all injuries (James et al, 1978, Clement et al, 1984, Lysholm and Wiklander, 1987, Soma and Mandelbaum, 1994, Józsa and Kannus, 1997. The highest incidence is usually reported to occur in middleaged individuals, but the exact age to which age this refers is usually not documented (Kvist, 1994, Paavola et al, 2000a, Silbernagel et al, 2001, Paavola et al, 2002a, Alfredson, 2003c.…”

“…There are various techniques for evaluating the subtalar varus and forefoot varus as measures of varus alignments that would cause functional hyperpronation during walking and running. Clinically, measurements are often made in non-weight bearing with a goniometer or in weight-bearing describing the foot as cavus, neutral or pronated (James et al, 1978, Clement et al, 1984, Kvist, 1991, Kaufman et al, 1999. A clinical classification of a high, normal and low arch can also be performed, but this is mostly a subjective measure by the evaluator with possible clinical benefits regarding decision-making if there is a need for custom-made orthotics.…”

The purpose of this double‐blind study was to evaluate the effects of iontophoresis with dexamethazone to iontophoresis with saline solution on patients who had acute (less than 3 months) pain from the Achilles tendon, in terms of range of motion, muscular endurance, pain and symptoms. Twenty‐five patients (15 men and 10 women), aged between 18 and 76 years (mean = 38), were evaluated before and after 2 weeks of treatment with iontophoresis, as well as after 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months and 1 year. Two groups were treated for 2 weeks with iontophoresis for each treatment. Three ml of dexamethazone were used for the experiment group (n = 14) and 3 ml of saline solution for the control group (n = 11). Both groups then followed the same rehabilitation programme for 10 weeks. Good reliability was found for the toe‐raise and range of motion tests. Poor reliability was, however, found for the pain on palpation test, which was therefore excluded. No difference was found between or within groups for the toe‐raise test. Several significant improvements were seen in the experiment group but not in the control group, in the range of motion test, pain during and after physical activity, pain during walking and walking up and down stairs, morning stiffness and tendon swelling. Even though the small sample size limits the possibilities to draw definite conclusions, we conclude from the present study, using a double‐blind, randomised approach and a 1‐year follow‐up period, that positive effects from using iontophoresis with dexamethazone were found in the treatment of patients with acute Achilles tendon pain.

“…Stress fractures are among the five most common running injuries, and account for 50% of all injuries sustained by runners and military recruits. 5,6 The incidence of SF ranges from 1.5% to 31%. [6][7][8][9] Women are reported to be at greater risk, with one study reporting a two-fold increase of bilateral SF over men.…”

BACKGROUNDStress fracture (SF) is the single most common cause for the lost number of manpower days during training of recruits in the Armed Forces. This prospective study was undertaken with a view to develop baseline data on incidence of SF and to identify related variables. METHODA prospective study over a period of five years during [2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009] in which a total of 8,570 recruits were enrolled at the start of their training to find out the incidence and pattern of SFs. RESULTSA total of 604 (7.04%, 95% CI 6.40-7.40%) out of a total of 8,570 recruits sustained SF during the study period. The majority of fractures occurred during basic training. The factors like urban residence, vegetarianism and those without prior history of physical activity were found to be associated with SF. Tibia was the commonest bone involved. CONCLUSIONPrevention is undoubtedly the best approach in SF and other sports injuries. Priority should be given to individuals with good sports and physical activity background during recruitment. Intensity of training should be gradually increased during first three months (12 weeks) of training.

“…Stress fractures result from various activities, and the sites of occurrence are activity-related. For example, recreational runners tend to sustain stress fractures of the proximal, medial posterior surface of the tibia, distal shaft of the fibula, and femoral neck [2,4,7]. Dancing is associated with stress fractures of the metatarsals, anterior tibial shaft, and femoral neck and shaft [7,9,10].…”

Radiolucent horizontal striationsof the anterior cortex of the tibia were seen in 10 athletes who were evaluated for "shin-splints." There were seven basketball players, two professional dancers, and one hurdler. Materials and MethodsTen patients aged 1 9-36 were studied; there were eight men and two women. Nine of the 10 sought orthopedic consultation because of persistent anterior tibial pain (shin-splints") related to their respective athletic activities. The tenth patient, who was seen initially because of an acute fracture of the tibia, gave a history of anterior tibial pain associated with playing basketball; this case is detailed below. Seven of the athletes were basketball players, two (both women) were professional modem dancers, and one was a hurdler. Diagnostic radiographs consisted of frontal and lateral veiws of both legs in all cases. Scintigraphy was not performed. For comparison, the radiographs of 20 recreational runners with shin-splints were reviewed. Results
