Sideline Care of Abrasions and Lacerations
Preparation Is Key
Speed, physical contact, and sports equipment create ripe conditions for abrasions and lacerations. Being armed on the sidelines with the right equipment and the most current techniques can help athletes quickly return to play and avoid infection and poor cosmetic results.

Valgus Bracing for Degenerative Knee Osteoarthritis
Relieving Pain, Improving Gait, and Increasing Activity
Disability from knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints that physicians manage, yet their treatment options have been narrowed recently by reports of cardiac consequences of some popular nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Valgus knee bracing is one nonpharmacologic option that may improve patients' gait, relieve their pain, and keep them active.

Juvenile Tillaux Fracture in an Adolescent Basketball Player
High ankle sprain symptoms in an adolescent patient should raise red flags for a possible Tillaux fracture. This case of a 16-year-old female basketball player illustrates the vulnerability of open physes to this injury, which is caused by forced external rotation of the foot. Surgery is often needed to avoid future complications.

Primary Care of the Sports Hernia
Recognizing an Often-Overlooked Cause of Pain
Sports hernias account for much time lost from sports, so an observant physician who expedites treatment plays a key role in returning athletes to play. This case of a male professional soccer goalie demonstrates that sports hernia is often multifactorial. A focused physical exam and stepwise conservative treatment helped physicians isolate the injury.
