  6. Article: Spondylolysis in elite junior-level ice hockey players.

    Abstract Background: Spondylolysis is a common cause of low back pain and significant loss of play in the young athlete. Its incidence in hockey players has not been reported. This study reviewed the incidence and potential causative factors of low back pain and spondylolysis in an elite junior-level ice hockey program over a 15-year period.
    Hypothesis: Because of the repetitive movements of the lower spine required by the sport, spondylolysis was expected to be a frequent cause of low back pain in hockey players.
    Study design: Retrospective case review.
    Level of evidence: Level 4.
    Methods: The medical and athletic trainer records of male ice hockey players, ages 15 to 18 years, who presented with the complaint of low back pain were reviewed. This elite program consisted of 2 rosters. There were approximately 44 players total per year representing these 2 teams. For players diagnosed with spondylolysis, the following factors were reviewed: year in the program, age at presentation, symptoms and duration, studies performed, level of spondylolysis, presence of spondylolisthesis, affected side to shooting side, player position, treatment, and current level of play.
    Results: Over 9 hockey seasons, 25 players presented to medical staff with low back pain. Of those, 44% were confirmed to have lumbar spondylolysis. The majority of these cases presented in the first year of the program without clear history of trauma but rather vague pain with weight lifting or hockey. Less than half of spondylolysis cases were diagnosed on plain films. There were no cases of spondylolisthesis. Spondylolysis occurred on the shooting side in 73% of players. Sixty-four percent of players with spondylolysis were forwards. The treatment for most included rest from lifting and hockey and physical therapy. Average return to play was 8 weeks. Ninety-six percent of players continued to play at an elite level.
    Conclusion: Spondylolysis should be strongly considered in the differential of low back pain in ice hockey players with consideration for advanced imaging. Considerable loss of play occurs with spondylolysis, but with proper treatment, excellent outcomes occur.
    Clinical relevance: This study brings to light the prevalence of spondylolysis in ice hockey players. With an increased index of suspicion, the condition can be diagnosed and properly treated to allow full return to play.

    Abstract Water polo is an intense sport with extreme physical contact and repetitive shoulder motion that predisposes to injury. The continuous scapular motion and recruitment of the scapular stabilizers to maintain buoyancy expose water polo athletes to the risk of scapular stress fracture. Suspicion should arise when evaluating water polo athletes presenting with shoulder pain.

    Abstract Purpose: The ARST0332 trial for pediatric and young adults with nonrhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma (NRSTS) used risk-based treatment including primary resection with lower-than-standard radiation doses to optimize local control (LC) while minimizing long-term toxicity in those requiring radiation therapy (RT). RT for high-grade NRSTS was based on extent of resection (R0: negative margins, R1: microscopic margins, R2/U: gross disease/unresectable); those with >5 cm tumors received chemotherapy (CT; ifosfamide/doxorubicin). This analysis evaluates LC for patients assigned to RT and prognostic factors associated with local recurrence (LR).
    Methods and materials: Patients aged <30 years with high-grade NRSTS received RT (55.8 Gy) for R1 ≤5 cm tumor (arm B); RT (55.8 Gy)/CT for R0/R1 >5 cm tumor (arm C); or neoadjuvant RT (45 Gy)/CT plus delayed surgery, CT, and postoperative boost to 10.8 Gy R0 <5 mm margins/R1 or 19.8 Gy for R2/unresected tumors (arm D).
    Results: One hundred ninety-three eligible patients had 24 LRs (arm B 1/15 [6.7%], arm C 7/65 [10.8%], arm D 16/113 [14.2%]) at median time to LR of 1.1 years (range, 0.11-5.27). Of 95 eligible for delayed surgery after neoadjuvant therapy, 89 (93.7%) achieved R0/R1 margins. Overall LC after RT were as follows: R0, 106 of 109 (97%); R1, 51 of 60 (85%); and R2/unresectable, 2 of 6 (33%). LR predictors include extent of delayed resection (P <.001), imaging response before delayed surgery (P < .001), histologic subtype (P <.001), and no RT (P = .046). The 5-year event-free survival was significantly lower (P = .0003) for patients unable to undergo R0/R1 resection.
    Conclusions: Risk-based treatment for young patients with high-grade NRSTS treated on ARST0332 produced very high LC, particularly after R0 resection (97%), despite lower-than-standard RT doses. Neoadjuvant CT/RT enabled delayed R0/R1 resection in most patients and is preferred over adjuvant therapy due to the lower RT dose delivered.
