Sun, heat, and cold injuries in cyclists.

Cyclists are vulnerable to weather and commonly experience problems as they relate to extremes in both heat and cold. Educating cyclists on prevention of sunburn, dehydration, heat illness, hypothermia, and frostbite is the key. Limited sun exposure and proper use of sunscreens are the mainstay of treatment for prevention of sunburn. Adequate fluid and electrolyte replacement is necessary to avoid problems with dehydration and heat illness. Wind- and water-resistant clothing is recommended to protect against hypothermia and frostbite. Adequate training and acclimatization are, of course, recommended to all recreational and competitive riders for safe cycling.

Patellar tracking problems in athletes.

Problems of the patellofemoral joint have long been recognized as a source of knee dysfunction. They range in spectrum from pain alone to recurrent instability, yet all are related in origin by congenital predisposition. Problems of the extensor mechanism are prevalent in any and all populations. Most patellofemoral problems respond readily to conservative rehabilitation efforts. Because of its chronic, recurrent nature, satisfactory results remain elusive in some syndromes. In our practice, the newer McConnell techniques have proved to be a positive addition to the extensor mechanism armamentarium, allowing pain-free return to function for most patients.
