A 22-year-old male professional hockey player sustained a nondisplaced talus fracture. We present a comprehensive nonsurgical rehabilitation that includes blood flow restriction (BFR) training. Pain and function measures improved throughout the rehabilitation. Lower limb circumference did not change postinjury. The patient returned to play in less than 7 weeks, while current talar fracture management protocols indicate surgical fixation and 6 weeks of immobilization. BFR training may be useful in injury rehabilitation, negating muscle atrophy and increasing muscle strength while allowing the patient to exercise at relatively low loads. This is the first case of BFR training implemented in early fracture rehabilitation of an athlete.

Vickers (1990) developed a cross-disciplinary knowledge structure of ice hockey by soliciting the expertise of various knowledge engineers (e.g., elite players, coaches, scientists). However, in developing this knowledge structure, the expertise of one important knowledge engineer, the professional hockey scout, was overlooked. The purpose of this investigation was to improve the knowledge base of ice hockey by utilizing professional hockey scouts as knowledge engineers. Through a qualitative analysis of NHL scouting reports filed between 1982 and 1990, several task requirements that were deemed essential by scouts for success as a professional player were identified. Having identified these task requirements, scouts were solicited to provide insight regarding the relative importance of such task requirements. Results established significant differences for between- and within-task requirements for the positions of forward and defense. The importance of these findings to coaching are discussed.

We describe a healthy 40-year old professional hockey player with an asymptomatic sternal non-union following aortic root surgery. The purpose of this case report is to make orthopedic surgeons aware of the possibility of this complication following sternotomy, and to discuss the considerations involved in return to play in contact sports. We will discuss our work-up, evaluation, and management of a sternal non-union in a professional athlete. Patient’s consent has been obtained.
