“…The clinician should also investigate for any past or present injury, disease, or disability. 1,3 In addition, a menstrual history should be elicited. The provider should also keep in mind that this PPE may be the athlete's only entry into the healthcare system and may be well suited for broad and comprehensive health screening beyond just athletic participation.…”

“…Prior injuries (including heat-related injuries and concussion) should be noted and further evaluated. 2,3,8 Asthma, allergy, and anaphylaxis are also to be considered; the athlete should have an adequate understanding of treatment and prevention for these conditions. They should also be asked if there are any braces and/or orthotics that are being utilized.…”

“…1,3 Height and weight evaluation will allow the clinician to determine an athlete's body mass index (BMI). This screening should consist of a general medical exam, focused exam for neuromuscular and cardiovascular conditions, and a thorough exam of potential conditions identifi ed in the health history; performance testing of the athlete may also be included.…”

Orthopaedic sports injuries encompass a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions resulting from the physical demands of athletic activities. These injuries can vary from acute, such as sprains and fractures, to chronic overuse syndromes like tendinopathies. Prevalent due to the global enthusiasm for sports, they affect bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. The etiology of these injuries is multifactorial, stemming from biomechanical stressors, training methods, genetics, and environmental conditions. Advanced imaging modalities like magnetic resonance imaging and Computed tomography have revolutionized the assessment and diagnosis of these injuries, aiding in treatment decisions and return-to-play criteria. Injury prevention is paramount and involves understanding intrinsic (athlete-related) and extrinsic (environmental) risk factors. Strategies include pre-participation screening, strength and conditioning programs, biomechanical analysis, neuromuscular training, proper equipment use, rule changes, education, and creating a safety-conscious culture. Effective prevention reduces the burden of these injuries. Treatment strategies range from conservative approaches to surgery, depending on the type and severity of the injury. Emerging trends in sports medicine, including biologic therapies and telemedicine, offer promising avenues for improved diagnosis and recovery. The holistic approach to orthopaedic sports injuries encompasses prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, ensuring athletes' well-being and longevity in their chosen sports.
