Community integration through therapeutic recreation: day-treatment patients compete in a softball league.

A team of male psychiatric patients drawn from two community mental-health day-treatment centers competed in a community-based softball league. Treatment objectives were twofold: therapeutic recreation and participation in a community activity apart from a traditional psychiatric setting. Points of success, while anecdotal, seem to suggest avenues through which further efforts toward community integration may be achieved.

Irreducible dislocation of the knee.

Irreducible knee dislocation is a rare injury. This case report describes a knee dislocation in a 39-year-old male U.S. Army noncommissioned officer who was injured while playing in a softball game. Arthroscopy showed the medial collateral ligament and capsule to be locked in the intercondylar notch, covering the medial femoral condyle. Arthrotomy and open reduction were required. Staged posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using patellar tendon autograft was later performed. Review of the magnetic resonance imaging scan showed the irreducible lesion. The diagnostic clinical and radiographic features of this unusual injury are described.

Recurrent fracture of the humerus in a softball player.

Fracture of a normal humerus can occur during the act of throwing an object. We present the case of a young woman who sustained a spiral fracture of the distal humeral shaft with concomitant radial nerve palsy while throwing a softball and who, after clinical and radiographic evidence of bony healing, suffered a repeat humerus fracture, also while throwing a softball.

Planning for scholastic cardiac emergencies: the Ripley project.

Fatalities during sports participation are usually cardiac in origin. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) from ventricular fibrillation has been reported in several sporting venues over the last decade. Successful treatment of stadium SCA requires a rapid response team equipped with defibrillator capabilities. The use of automated external defibrillators (AED) by responders in sports arenas is critical to help prevent catastrophic scholastic athlete and spectator cases of unexpected sudden cardiac death.

The incidence of sports-related facial trauma in children.

We conducted a survey of physician members of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery to determine the incidence and nature of facial traumas seen in their practices. We solicited information on the anatomic location of each injury, the severity of the trauma, and whether the injury occurred during a sports activity. According to the responses, 21% of facial fractures and 29% of nasal fractures were experienced by patients aged 17 years and younger who were participating in sports. We believe that many such injuries can be prevented with greater use of protective equipment.

School sports accidents: analysis of causes, modes, and frequencies.

About 5% of all school children are seriously injured during physical education every year. Because of its influence on children's attitude toward sports and the economic aspects, an evaluation of causes and medical consequences is necessary. In this study, 213 school sports accidents were investigated. Besides diagnosis, the localization of injuries, as well as the duration of the sick leave were documented. Average age of injured students was 13 years. Most of the injured students blamed themselves for the accident. The most common injuries were sprains, contusions, and fractures. Main reasons for the accidents were faults in basic motion training. Playing soccer and basketball were the most frequent reasons for injuries. The upper extremity was more frequently involved than the lower extremity. Sports physicians and teachers should work out a program outlining the individual needs and capabilities of the injured students to reintegrate them into physical education.

Chronic exertional compartment syndrome after minor injury to the lower extremity.

Since the 1950s, chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the lower leg has been thoroughly reported in the literature. The predisposing factors and pathophysiology of this condition, however, still are not fully understood. We present a case of a well-conditioned individual who developed a chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the left lower leg anterior compartment after a direct blow injury during a softball game. Trauma is not routinely implicated as a risk factor for chronic compartment syndrome, and the literature on this topic is scarce. We suggest that trauma, even low-velocity trauma, may precipitate a chronic exertional compartment syndrome. We review the literature regarding chronic exertional compartment syndromes preceded by trauma and offer explanations regarding the mechanisms by which a traumatic event may induce a chronic compartment syndrome.
