Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy

Background: Insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT) is a common finding in the clinic. However, consensus on its mechanism, pathological process, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation is lacking. Thus, the Chinese Society of Sports Medicine organized and invited experts representing the fields of ankle disease and tendinopathy to jointly develop an expert consensus on IAT. Study Design: A consensus statement of the Chinese Society of Sports Medicine. Methods: A total of 34 experts in the field of sports medicine and orthopaedics were invited to participate in the compilation of a consensus statement regarding IAT. Consensus was achieved according to the Delphi method. First, 10 working groups composed of 34 experts were established to compile draft statements about clinical problems related to IAT by reviewing and analyzing the available literature. An expert consensus meeting to discuss drafts was then arranged. Each statement was individually presented and discussed, followed by a secret vote. Consensus was reached when more than 50% of the experts voted in its favor. The strength of the proposed recommendation was classified based on the proportion of favorable votes: consensus, 51% to 74%; strong consensus, 75% to 99%; unanimity, 100%. Results: Of the 10 expert consensus statements on the clinical diagnosis and treatment of IAT, there was strong consensus for 8 statements and unanimity for 2 statements. Conclusion: This expert consensus focused on the concepts, causes, pathological process, clinical diagnosis, and treatment of IAT. Accepted recommendations in these areas which will assist clinicians in carrying out standardized management of related diseases.

The goal of training competitive athletes is to provide training loads that will improve performance. When prolonged, excessive training occurs concurrent with other stressors and insufficient recovery, performance decrement can result first in functional overreaching (FO), then extreme overreaching or non-functional overreaching (NFO) and overtraining. Chronic maladaptations may lead then to the overtraining syndrome (OTS). As it is possible to recover from functional overreaching within a period of 2 weeks, the recovery from NFO needs several weeks or even months. Athletes who suffer from OTS may need months or even years to completely recover (1). Early diagnostic of overreaching is of high importance for prevention of overtraining as well as for interruption of progression of NFO/OTS. The purpose of the study was detection of nonfunctional overreaching and overtraining with use of contemporary diagnostic criteria. Diagnosis of OTS was based on the checklist provided by the consensus statement of the European College of Sports Science (ECSS) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) (3). Examination of 348 high level athletes revealed 43 subjects with NFO/OTS, among them 37 with NFO and 6 athletes with OTS. Prevalence of NFO and OTS was seen in sporting disciplines with mixed high intensity workload-27(62,8%) NFO and 4 (9,3%) OTS, particularly, majority of NFO/OTS was revealed in wrestling: NFO – 19 (44,2%) and OTS – 4 (9,3%). Checklist criteria elaborated by ECSS and ACSM is efficient and flexible tool for diagnosing overreaching and overtraining in athletes. Most frequently NFO/OTS is seen in wrestling, which needs further investigation and regular medical monitoring.

The Acromegaly Consensus Group redefined the consensus criteria for cure of acromegaly. 74 neurosurgeons and experienced endocrinologists summarized the latest results on diagnosis and treatment of acromegaly. In this consensus statement the reliable growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 assays were established. Definition of disease control was discussed based on the available publications and evidence. This short communication summarizes the clinical aspects of consensus criteria for diagnosis and cure of acromegaly based on the original article. Orv. Hetil., 2011, 152, 703–708.

Prediction: The Modern-Day Sport-Science and Sports-Medicine “Quest for the Holy Grail”

Injury Screening

In high-performance sport, science and medicine practitioners employ a variety of physical and psychological tests, training and match monitoring, and injury-screening tools for a variety of reasons, mainly to predict performance, identify talented individuals, and flag when an injury will occur. The ability to “predict” outcomes such as performance, talent, or injury is arguably sport science and medicine’s modern-day equivalent of the “Quest for the Holy Grail.” The purpose of this invited commentary is to highlight the common misinterpretation of studies investigating association to those actually analyzing prediction and to provide practitioners with simple recommendations to quickly distinguish between methods pertaining to association and those of prediction.
