“…The objective and evidence-based role of MSK radiology in predicting the duration of missed playing time and decisions around return to play is an area of interest in the literature. 22 A model of the decision-making process in return to play postinjury was provided by Dijkstra and colleagues, 23 who describe the role of the coach and particularly the player as subjective and susceptible to external pressure and emotion, with only the physician having an objective position. The radiologist is arguably best placed to provide objectivity with information based solely on imaging findings.…”

“…37 Complete tears must be recognized to enable timely surgical treatment, and partial tears must be accurately described. 22 Identification of involvement of the central tendon is clinically significant, with a mean return-to-play time of 72 days in the setting of central tendon disruption versus 21 days in cases where the central tendon remained intact. 39 Injuries without hyperintensity on fluid-sensitive sequences are associated with an earlier return to play.…”

The Gaelic sports of hurling and football, native to Ireland, are increasing in popularity worldwide. The injury profile of these sports requires multidisciplinary management by sports physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, and musculoskeletal (MSK) radiologists, among others. Advances in imaging modalities and interventional techniques have aided the diagnosis and treatment of sport injuries. In this article, we review the literature and our own institutional experience to describe common injury patterns identified in Gaelic games athletes, their main imaging features and relevant therapeutic interventions. We discuss the increasing prevalence of imaging services at sporting events and the central role of MSK radiologists in sports injury management.

“…Traditionally, return to activity guidelines are based on clinical concepts such as painless activity and restoration of strength and flexibility to those of the contralateral side or to preinjury levels. It has been suggested that imaging features may assist in prognostic assessment, thus potentially shaping the recovery track of injured athletes (5).…”

US Assessment of Sports-related Hip Injuries

Traumatic and overuse hip injuries occur frequently in amateur and professional athletes. After clinical assessment, imaging plays an important role in diagnosis and in defining care management of these injuries. Ultrasonography (US) is being increasingly used in assessment of hip injuries because of the wide availability of US machines, the lower cost, and the unique real-time imaging capability, which allows both static and dynamic evaluation as well as guidance of point-of-care interventions such as fluid aspiration and steroid injection. Accurate diagnosis of hip injuries is often challenging, given the complex soft-tissue anatomy of the hip and the wide spectrum of injuries that can occur. To conduct a skillful US evaluation of hip injuries, physicians must have pertinent knowledge of the normal anatomy and should make judicious use of surface anatomy landmarks while using a compartmentalized diagnostic approach. In this article, common sports-related injuries of the anterior, lateral, and posterior hip compartments are discussed. This review includes assessment of joint effusion, acetabular labral tear, acute and chronic tendon injuries including tendinopathy, partial and full-thickness tears, snapping hip syndromes, relevant US-guided procedures, and some other conditions such as Morel-Lavallée lesion and perineal nodular induration. Principles of care management and current knowledge on imaging findings that may affect return to activity are also presented. Using an oriented US examination technique and having knowledge of the normal hip anatomy will help physicians characterize US findings of common sports-related hip injuries and make accurate diagnoses.

“…Complete tears must be recognized to allow timely operative intervention, and partial tears must be described properly. 85 The distinction of involvement of the central tendon is highly significant with a mean return-to-play time of 72 days in the setting of central tendon disruption versus 21 days in cases where it remained intact. 98 Additionally, injuries without hyperintensity on fluid-sensitive sequences are associated with a shorter return to play.…”

Musculoskeletal radiology's role in the recent and continued evolution of sports medicine is an exciting and expanding one. In this article we explore a variety of the ways that musculoskeletal radiology contributes to current practices in modern sports medicine, discussing advances across a variety of imaging modalities in the care of both elite athletes and so-called weekend warriors. We describe the technical and ethical factors pertaining to image-guided therapeutic intervention in athletes and speculate on the potential for future developments in the role of imaging in deciding when an athlete may return to participation. We also explore the recent shift to the delivery of imaging facilities at sporting events and in stadiums.
