Chris Mallac looks at a rare and under-recognized variant of normal shoulder anatomy known as the Buford complex. He explores how it differs from normal anterior shoulder anatomy and the implications for clinicians in the continuation of our ‘uncommon injury’ series. The Buford complex is a relatively rare and under-recognised variant of normal shoulder anatomy that... MORE

Studies suggest that between 3 and 9% of all sports injuries involve the wrist and/or hand. Andrew Hamilton looks at ulnar impaction, one of the more common injuries to affect this region, especially among older athletes. Ulnar impaction syndrome (UIS – sometimes called ulnocarpal abutment) is a condition in which the ulna of the forearm... MORE

In the first part of this 2-part article, Chris Mallac looks at the surgery and rehab options for Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), an increasingly common musculoskeletal disorder that can affect young to middle aged athletes. In part two, Chris will describe in detail the post-operative rehabilitation period required to take an athlete back to full competition MORE
