... Some studies have focused on a particular type of fracture or a specific anatomical region [2,[8][9][10][11][12], while others have analyzed appendicular fractures [6,7,[13][14][15][16]. However, the number of studies specifically analyzing the contribution of AI to fracture detection in a pediatric population remains limited [17,18]. ...

... Commercial FDA-approved tools All 21 studies using commercial tools with FDA approval at last search were published between 2018 and 2022. FDA-approved products included Aidoc ICH [41][42][43][44][45][46][47], QureAI qER [38], and RAPID [48] for CT intracranial hemorrhage detection, triage, and notification; Annalise Enterprise CXR [36,49], which detects rib, scapular, and humeral fractures, pneumothorax, and pneumomediastinum among numerous other findings unrelated to trauma on chest radiographs; Aidoc C-Spine CSF [50,51] and Aidoc RibFx [52] for CT cervical spine and rib fracture detection, triage, and notification; Gleamer BoneView [53][54][55], AZMed Rayvolve [56], and Imagen FractureDetect FX [37] for plain radiograph detection of Only the Siemens tool, a quantitative visualization method that outputs midsagittal vertebral height measurements, can be considered to provide intrinsic interpretability for a multistage task, as caliper measurements are used in practice to determine the Genant vertebral fracture grade [58]. The other methods, all of which perform a single-stage task (namely, detection), use forms of post hoc explainability. ...

... FDA-approved commercialized products currently include a variety of use cases, primarily for detection (CADe) and triage or workflow prioritization (CADt). These include tools for stroke [14], pulmonary embolus [15], intracranial hemorrhage [16], acute pathology on chest radiographs [17], and fractures on musculoskeletal plain radiographs [18]. Additionally, the FDA recognizes tools for diagnosis, risk stratification and prognostication (CADx), and image processing and quantitative visualization (IPQ) [4], which may have a role in augmenting emergency radiology interpretation in the future. ...

... 1,27,33 Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in wrestlers are generally associated with rotation on a planted foot with the leg in or near full extension, usually during a takedown. 22,25 Previous investigations have estimated the rate of ACL injuries in wrestlers, ranging from 0% to 10.4% of knee injuries. 1,25 Despite this, ACL injuries remain relevant due to the elevated need for surgical intervention. ...

... development, such as the interposition of synovial fluid within the substance of the ACL (the synovial theory), [5] previous history of trauma (the traumatic theory), [5] aging (the degenerative theory) [5,9] or the presence of ectopic synovial tissue inside the ACL fiber [5,10]. Moreover, several factors associated with MD-ACL have been suggested, including posterior tibial slope (PTS) angle, [11,12] intercondylar notch geometry, [13,14] degeneration or injury to articular cartilage along with increased age [1,9] or trochlear dysplasia [15]. Increased PTS with axial loading could increase the strain on the ACL, [16] which might induce secondary malfunction or degeneration of ACL along with anterior translation of the tibia [11,17,18]. ...

... The authors highlight injuries associated with overload, cumulative injuries, injuries of the musculoskeletal system. In a study by Ahmad et al. [18] is identified a tendency towards an increase in the proportion of athletes with cartilage damage with age. Closs et al. [19] presented estimates of the effectiveness of combined methods for rapid recovery. ...

... [2,3] In the end this leaves the patient with unmitigated pain and inflammation in conjunction with targeted destruction of local articular cartilage, cortical bone, and systemic immune suppression. [4][5][6] Therefore emulsion optimization and carrier functionalization will focus on reducing burst release effects and instead sustaining a consistent extended-release driven via diffusion. ...

... In addition, known risk factors of bone stress injuries increase the risk for osteoporosis, a significant long-term health concern [5]. Previous studies of bone stress injury at the Olympic Games were conducted at Rio de Janeiro (2016) and London (2012) [6][7][8][9][10][11][12], where they accounted for approximately 2-3% of all injuries [13]. In these summer Olympics, bone stress injuries were most common in female athletes, track and field athletes, and the lower extremities [13,14]. ...

... MRI played an important role for the evaluation of sports injuries and knee pain among athletes participating to the 2016 Olympic Games of Rio de Janeiro [7]. Descriptive epidemiology of cartilage and ligamentous injuries among these athletes has been reported previously [8,9]. In particular, a study showed a high prevalence of PFJ cartilage damage in this population, especially in certain disciplines such as weightlifting, volleyball and beach volleyball [9]. ...

... Gr was not measured in the axial section as it may be affected by the glenoid bone defect in patients with ASI; it was measured in sagittal sections using the circle method defined elsewhere [9,11,22] (Fig. 2). ...
