Mild head injury (MHI) represents one of the most challenging neurological pathologies occurring during athletic participation. Athletic trainers and sports medicine personnel are often faced with decisions about the severity of head injury and the timing of an athlete's return to play following MHI. Returning an athlete to competition following MHI too early can be a catastrophic mistake. This case study involves a 20-year-old collegiate football player who sustained three mild head injuries during one season. The case study demonstrates how objective measures of balance and cognition can be used when making decisions about returning an athlete to play following MHI. These measures can be used to supplement the subjective guidelines proposed by many physicians.

Background: Some authors have suggested that the semimembranosus tendon is involved in the pathophysiology of ramp lesions. This led us to conduct a gross and microscopic analysis of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus and the structures inserted on it. Hypothesis: (1) The semimembranosus tendon has a tendinous branch inserting into the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, and (2) the meniscotibial ligament is inserted on the posteroinferior edge of the medial meniscus. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: In total, 14 fresh cadaveric knees were dissected. From each cadaveric donor, a stable anatomic specimen was harvested en bloc, including the medial femoral condyle, medial tibial plateau, whole medial meniscus, cruciate ligaments, joint capsule, and distal insertion of the semimembranosus tendon. The harvested blocks were cut along the sagittal plane to isolate the distal insertion of the semimembranosus tendon on the posterior joint capsule and the posterior horn of the medial meniscus in a single slice. Histological slides were made from these samples and analyzed under a microscope. Results: In all knees, gross examination revealed a direct branch of the semimembranosus and a tendinous capsular branch ending behind the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. This capsular branch protruded over the joint capsule, over the meniscotibial ligament below and the meniscocapsular ligament above, but never ended directly in the meniscal tissue. The capsular branch was 14.3 ± 4.4 mm long (mean ± SD). The direct tendon inserted 11 ± 2.8 mm below the articular surface of the tibial plateau. The meniscotibial ligament inserted on the posteroinferior edge of the medial meniscus, and the meniscocapsular ligament insertion was on its posterosuperior edge. Highly vascularized adipose tissue was found, delimited by the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, meniscotibial ligament, meniscocapsular ligament, and capsular branch of the semimembranosus tendon. Conclusion: In all knees, our study found a capsular branch of the semimembranosus tendon inserted behind the medial meniscus. The meniscotibial ligament was inserted on the posteroinferior edge of the medial meniscus. Histological analysis of this area revealed that this ligament inserted differently from the insertion previously described in the literature. Clinical Relevance: This laboratory study provides insight into the pathophysiology of ramp lesions frequently associated with anterior cruciate ligament injury. To restore anatomy, it is mandatory to reestablish meniscotibial ligament continuity in ramp repairs.

The current article presents a reflective case study following an applied service delivery experience with a 21-year-old professional footballer. The primary aim of the intervention was to support the client while facing several critical moments (breakdown in relationships, identity, and contract negotiations). This support involved creating a confidential space for her to discuss her values, beliefs, and identity while considering some of the tensions and dilemmas experienced while considering her future. Throughout this process, the first author adopted an existential counseling approach to practice and utilized the Four Dimensions of Existence and Emotional Compass as hermeneutic devices to analyze the client’s presenting challenges. The working relationship lasted for 3 months and spanned eight online sessions. Reflections on practitioner individuation and the value of adopting an existential approach to service delivery are provided.

An unusual case of ulnar collateral ligament avulsion in association with carpometacarpal dislocation of thumb is described. Symptoms and deformity caused by dislocation can mask the presence of injuries such as damage to the ulnar collateral ligament of thumb. This may lead to long term disability. A high index of suspicion and good clinical examination allows correct diagnosis and management of these uncommon injuries leading to a good clinical outcome.

Abstract Purpose Unstable ankle fractures with associated syndesmotic injury are of considerable morbidity in the professional athlete population. The use of dynamic suture button versus static syndesmotic screws fixation, rehabilitation protocols and timing to return to play are still areas of debate. We report the use of novel algorithm of sequential static and dynamic syndesmotic fixation in an elite football player with Weber C ankle fracture. Methods The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation for a weber C ankle fracture with associated syndesmotic and deltoid ligament injury. The osteosynthesis included lateral malleolus neutralizing plate, two syndesmotic screws and deltoid anchor repair. At 6 weeks post-operative both syndesmotic screws were removed and one suture button was implanted in the proximal screw hole. After the second operation the patient was allowed full weight bearing and range of motion in all direction with accelerated rehabilitation protocol. Results The technique provided satisfactory results. At 4 month the player participated in a 90 min official football match. The fracture healed uneventfully with no recurrent syndesmotic diastasis. Conclusion The presented technique of sequential dynamic and static fixation of associated syndesmotic injuries combined advantages of both syndesmotic screws and suture button implants. In an aim to allow earlier return to play in an elite football player. This opens the way for higher level of evidence clinical trials.

<p><strong>Title: [Human Resource Accounting: A Critical Study on Recognition of Football Player as Football Club Asset in Indonesia]<br /></strong><br />The purpose of this study is to examine and criticize the theory of human resource accounting and IAS 38, specificly with regard to the football player recognition. This study also expands the accounting perspective to see the reality of a more holistic perspective, which is not only limited to the financial perspective. This study is a qualitative study by using the critical paradigm and a case study perspective. The result of this study is the form of new accounting concept, particularly the recognition of football players. Player recognition is not interpreted only from the economic perspective, but more important is the players have inherent factors, namely the spiritual factors, education/training, social/cultural, and environmental. These factors highly influence the player, so it does not suitable if the player is recognized as an asset and the monetary valuation is not always the best indicator.</p>
