CHAPTER14 Musculoskeletalproblems
Sportsmedicine
Fitness toperform sporting activities GPs are commonly asked
to certify tness to perform sports. Normally the patient will come with a medical form. If there is a form, request to see it before the medical. If there is no form and you are unsure what to check, telephone the sport’s governing body or the event organizer. Afee is payable by the patient.
Many gyms/ sports clubs also ask older patients/ patients with pre- existing conditions or disabilities to check with their GP before they will sign them on. Assuming that a suitable regime is undertaken, most people can partici­pate. Consider the patient’s baseline tness, check BP and medications, and recommend gradual introduction to new forms of exercise.
0 Remember— signing a form may result in legal action against you should the patient NOT be t to undertake an activity. Where possible include a caveat, e.g. ‘Based on information available in the medical notes the patient appears to be t to ... although it is impossible to guarantee this’. If unsure, consult your local LMC/ medical indemnity organization.
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy Can cause sudden death during sport. It is dicult to exclude on clinical examination— if there is a FH or systolic murmur refer to cardiology before recommending new intense activity.
Benets ofexercise E p. 154
Children and sport
Exercise is good for children— it stimulates development of the
musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems
It should be fun and not physically or emotionally
over- demanding
• Children are more prone to sports injuries due to continuing growth
(bone growth plates are prone to damage) but are more exible so have d injury rate
• Children’s temperature control is not as good as adults
• Equipment must be checked regularly to ensure it ts
• Encourage warm- up and stretching exercises before sport
• Refer children with suspected overuse or sports injuries, which do not
recover rapidly with simple analgesia, for specialist assessment
Nutrition Recommend a normal varied diet (E p. 148).
Special circumstances Particular sports have special requirements (e.g. i protein for strength athletes); i muscle glycogen stores before exercise can d fatigue during prolonged heavy exercise, e.g. ‘carbohydrate loading’— 3– 4d of i carbohydrate (8– 10g/ kg body weight) and a carbohydrate meal 3– 4h before competing
Fluids Sucient uid during exercise is vital to good performance and health, especially in hot conditions. Rehydration uids containing carbohydrate and electrolytes are absorbed faster than plain water
Supplements e.g. vitamins, minerals, amino acids, carnitine, creatine. Agood diet generally supplies sucient nutrients

SPORTSMEDICINE
Drugs and sport Most regulating bodies have strict codes regarding
drug use. Regulations may dier between dierent sports. Status of a par­ticular medicine may be checked in the Global Drug Reference Online (Mwww.globaldro.com).
Prohibited classes ofdrugs
Stimulants e.g. amphetamine, caeine (above 12 mcg/ mL), ephedrine,
certain β2 agonists (inhaled medication for asthma is allowed)
Narcotics e.g. morphine, diamorphine, pethidine, methadone (codeine
is allowed)
Anabolic agents e.g. nandrolone, DHEA, testosterone
Diuretics e.g. furosemide, bendroumethiazide
Hormones, hormone antagonists, and related substances e.g. growth
hormone, erythropoietin
Cannabinoids
Classes ofdrugs subjected torestrictions
Alcohol and marijuana— restricted in certain sports
Local anaesthetics— local or intra- articular injection only are allowed
(provide written notication of administration)
Corticosteroids— topical, inhaled, or local/ intra- articular injection only
are allowed (provide written notication of administration)
β- blockers— restricted in certain sports
Drugs forpain relief Generally paracetamol, all NSAIDs, and codeine are allowed for pain relief. Stronger opioids and drugs containing caeine are banned. If in doubt, check on the Global Drug Reference before prescribing.
Anabolic steroid misuse Signicant problem in the UK (5% in gyms and tness clubs). Drugs are often used in complicated regimens at high doses to i lean muscle mass and d body fat. Side eects include:
i cholesterol
i BP
• Gynaecomastia
0 Other drugs may be taken in conjunction with anabolic steroids to dthese side eects.
• Abnormal LFTs
• Testicular atrophy
• Baldness
• Acne
• Mood changes
475
Doctors who prescribe or collude in the provision of drugs or treat­ment with the intention of improperly enhancing an individual’s perform­ance in sport risk losing their GMC registration. This does not preclude the provision of any care or treatment where the doctor’s intention is to protect or improve the patient’s health.

CHAPTER14 Musculoskeletalproblems
Management ofsportinginjuries
Principles ofmanaging sportinginjuries
First aid (Airway, Breathing, Circulation), refer severe injuries to A&E
RICE
Rest Relative rest of aected part while continuing other activities
to maintain overall tness
Ice and analgesia Use immediately after injury (wrap ice in a towel
and use for maximum 10min at a time to prevent acute cold injury)
Compression Taping or strapping can be used to treat (d swelling)
and also to prevent acute sprains and strains
Elevation d local swelling and dependent oedema enabling quicker
recovery
Conrm the diagnosis Clinical examination, X- ray
Early treatment According to cause. Do not delay
Liaise With sports physician, sports physio, and coach if elite athlete
Rehabilitation Regaining tness, strength, and exibility; examine and
correct the cause of the injury (e.g. poor technique, equipment)
Graded return to activity Discuss with coach
Prevention Suitable preparation and training (e.g. suitable footwear, warm- up and warm- down exercises, safety equipment) can d likelihood of injuries
Muscleinjuries
Haematoma within or between muscles can l dramatic whole limb
bruising (due to tracking of blood) and stiness. Treat with RICE regime, encourage movement in pain- free range
Strain (e.g. hamstring injury) Refer to physiotherapy. Asecondary injury
is likely if the patient returns to sport too soon
Ligament injuries (sprains)
Grade 1 Local tenderness, normal joint movement. Give NSAIDs,
support strain, encourage mobilization
Grade 2 Slightly abnormal joint movement. More joint protection,
NSAIDs, elevate limb, encourage middle of the range movement
Grade 3 Abnormal joint movement. Refer to orthopaedics
Groin pain inathletes Consider:
• Conjoint tendon pathology (Gilmore’s groin)
• Symphysitis (footballers notably)
• Adductor tendonitis
Liaise with a sports medicine physician or physiotherapist early.
Overuse injuries Incidence is increasing due to increasingly intensive
training regimes, especially in young adults— even among amateurs.
Causes Load too great for conditions, poor technique or posture, faulty
or poor quality equipment
Types of injury Stress fractures, joint tenderness or eusion, ligament
and tendon strains, muscle stiness
https://t.me/med1917
MANAGEMENT OFSPORTINGINJURIES
Management Rest, NSAIDs, physiotherapy, improved training regime
Prevention Recognize and correct poor posture or technique, check
equipment is appropriate and ts, warm up and stretching before exercise, gradually i intensity and duration of training
Shin splints Exercise- related shin pain may be due to a stress fracture of
the tibia, compartment syndrome, or periostitis. Fractures are not always seen on X- ray— bone scan is more sensitive and shows periostitis. Treat with rest and analgesia. Consider referral to sports physiotherapist.
Iliotibial band syndrome Pain due to inammation of the synovium
under the iliotibial tract from rubbing of the tract on the lateral femoral condyle. Seen in runners. Treat with rest, NSAIDs, specialist physiotherapy ± steroid injection.
Over- training syndrome Poor performance, fatigue, heavy muscles,
and depression due to excessive sports training or competing without suf­cient rest. Usually diagnosed from history. Exclude other causes of fa­tigue (E p. 502). Manage with rest, reassurance, and alteration of training programme.
‘Scrumpox’ (herpes gladiatorum) Herpes simplex virus is very con-
tagious and outbreaks among sporting teams are common, e.g. spread by close contact and facial stubble grazes while scrumming. Treatment:aciclovir (cream or tablets) and exclusion of infected players. Impetigo, erysipelas, and tinea barbae can be transmitted in the same way.
Environmentalfactors
Heat cramps Painful spasm of heavily exercised muscles (calves and
feet)— due to salt depletion. Treatment:rest, massage of aected muscle, and uid and salt replacement (e.g. Dioralyte®)
Heat stroke/ exhaustion Exercising in excessive heat l salt and water
depletion, dehydration, and metabolite accumulation. Signs:headache, nausea, confusion, incoordination, cramps, weakness, dizziness, and malaise. Eventually thermoregulatory mechanisms fail l seizures and coma. Signs:ushing, sweating, and dehydration. Temperature may be normal (mild cases) or i. Treatment:Rest, uid and salt replacement (e.g. Dioralyte®). Admission for IV uids and supportive measures in severe cases
Hypothermia Ensure appropriate clothing and limit time in the cold.
Signs:behaviour change, incoordination, clouding of consciousness. Treatment:remove from cold environment, wrap in blankets (including
the head), and transfer to hospital. Do not use direct heat
Frost bite Freezing of the peripheries (usually feet, hands, ears, or
nose). Tissues become hard, insensitive, and white. Treatment:gentle rewarming, Refer if signicant dead tissue. Debridement is usually delayed to allow natural recovery
Diving Decompression illness is due to rapid ascent causing nitrogen
dissolved in blood to form gas bubbles. Usually <1– 36h after surfacing. Presentation:deep muscle aches, joint pains, skin pain, paraesthesia, itching and burning, retrosternal pain, cough and breathlessness, neurological symptoms. Refer suspected cases urgently to A&E

CHAPTER14 Musculoskeletalproblems
Bonedisorders
Osteogenesis imperfecta Inherited condition with auto-
somal dominant inheritance (rarely recessive). Several types but all have an underlying problem with collagen metabolism resulting
in fragile bones that break easily. Other features include lax joints, thin skin, blue sclerae, hypoplastic teeth, and deafness. Presentation varies according to severity. May be obvious at birth or present early with fractures. Less severe cases present later and may be mistaken for NAI. Mild cases may not present until adolescence with thin bones on X- ray. Treatment is supportive.
Osteopetrosis (marble bone disease) Inherited condition with
autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance. Dominant form presents in childhood with fractures, osteomyelitis ± facial paralysis. Recessive form is more severe causing bone marrow failure and death. Bone marrow transplantation has been tried but is of limited success.
Paget’s disease ofbone Abnormal osteoclast activity causes acceler-
ated, disorganized bone remodelling. Aects 1– 2% of UK adults; 15% have a FH. ♂:♀ 83:1. Most common in the elderly— only a minority are symp­tomatic. Aects just one bone in 1 in 3 cases.
Presentation Pain— dull ache aggravated by weight bearing, often remains at rest; deformity— bowing of weight- bearing bones especially tibia (sabre), femur, and forearm— usually asymmetrical; frontal bossing of the forehead; distinctive changes on X- ray; i bone- specic alk phos; normal Ca2+, PO4, and PTH.
Management Refer to rheumatology. Give analgesia. Oral/ IV bisphosphonates d pain and long- term complications. Complications:patho- logical fracture; OA of adjacent joints; high- output CCF; hydrocephalus and/ or cranial nerve compression l neurological symptoms, e.g. deafness; spinal stenosis; bone sarcoma (rare:0.1– 1.15%).
Osteomyelitis Infection of bone. May spread from abscesses or follow
surgery. Often no primary site is found. More common in those with DM, sickle cell disease, impaired immunity, and/ or poor living standards.
Organisms involved:S.aureus, streptococci, E.coli, Salmonella, Proteus, and Pseudomonas species, TB. Presents with pain, unwillingness to move af-
fected part, warmth, eusions in neighbouring joints, fever, and malaise. Blood cultures are +ve in 60%; i ESR/ CRP; i WCC.
Management Refer suspected cases for same- day orthopaedic opinion. Diagnosis is conrmed with imaging, e.g. MRI or bone scan (X- ray changes can take days to appear). Treatment:is with IV then PO antibiotics (≥6wk) and surgery to drain abscesses. Complications:septic arthritis, pathological fracture, deformity of growing bone, chronic infection.
Chronic osteomyelitis Occurs after delayed/ inadequate treatment of acute osteomyelitis. Signs:pain, fever, and discharge of pus from sinuses. Follows a relapsing/ remitting course over years. Needs specialist management.

BONEDISORDERS
H Referral guidelines for suspected sarcoma
Refer forimmediate X- ray Any patient with suspected spontaneous frac­ture. If the X- ray:
• Indicates possible bone cancer, refer urgently
• Is normal but symptoms persist, follow- up and/ or request repeat X-
ray, bone function tests, or referral
Refer urgently If a patient presents with a palpable lump that is:
• >5cm in diameter
• Deep to fascia, xed, or immobile
• Arecurrence after previous excision 0 If a patient has HIV, consider Kaposi sarcoma and make an urgent referral if suspected.
Urgently investigate Increasing, unexplained, or persistent bone pain or tenderness, particularly pain at rest (and especially if not in the joint), or an unexplained limp. In older people metastases, myeloma, or lymphoma, as well as sarcoma, should be considered.
• Increasing in size
• Painful
N
Sarcoma Cancer of the bone or connective tissue. 72300 patients/ y are
diagnosed with sarcoma in the UK, and it causes 71000 deaths. There are 2 peaks of incidence— one in teenagers, and another in old age. 5 types of sarcoma account for >80% of tumours.
Osteosarcoma and theEwing’s family oftumours Present with aching bone pain, swelling, ± pathological fracture. If X- ray is normal but symptoms persist, consider checking bone function tests, re- X- raying, discussing the patient with a specialist or referral. Treatment involves surgery and chemo­therapy. Overall 5y survival is 50– 80%.
Adult soft tissue sarcoma oflimb or trunk Usually presents with a palpable lump. The most common tumours are leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, and synovial sarcoma. Treated with surgery ± radiotherapy (high- grade tu­mours). Chemotherapy is reserved for palliation.
Kaposi sarcoma E p. 722
Intra- abdominal sarcoma Usually presents late. Often arises in the
retroperitoneum. If possible, surgery is the main treatment. Local relapse is common and often not responsive to cytotoxic therapy.
Rhabdomyosarcoma Originates from striated muscle. Presents usu­ally in children <2y with a lump. Responds to intensive multimodal therapy; outlook is generally good (>60% long- term survival).

CHAPTER14 Musculoskeletalproblems
Rickets andosteomalacia
Vitamin D deciency causes rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. The body needs 710 micrograms of vitamin D per day to maintain healthy bones. The body makes its own vitamin D when sunlight falls on the skin in the summer months but a diet with adequate vitamin D is needed to main­tain the supply in the winter— especially for people who do not get out or for cultural or religious reasons are completely shielded from the sun by their clothing.
Clinical features ofrickets
• Bone pain/ tenderness:arms, legs, spine, pelvis
• Skeletal deformity:bow legs, pigeon chest (forward projection of
the sternum), rachitic rosary (enlarged ends of ribs), asymmetrical/ odd- shaped skull due to soft skull bones, spinal deformity (kyphosis, scoliosis), pelvic deformities
• Pathological fracture
• Dental deformities— delayed formation of teeth, holes in enamel, icavities
• Muscular problems— progressive weakness, d muscle tone, muscle cramps
• Impaired growth l short stature (can be permanent)
Clinical features ofosteomalacia
• Bone pain— diuse, particularly in hips
• Muscle weakness
• Pathological fractures
• Low calcium l perioral numbness, numbness of extremities, hand and feet spasms, and/ or arrhythmias
Causes andmanagement
Dietary deciency (<30nmol/ L) Particularly in children with pigmented skin in Northern climes. Give vitamin D and Ca2+ supplements.
Age- related deciency (<30nmol/ L) Vitamin D metabolism deteriorates with age and many >80y are decient. Consider giving vitamin D (800IU/ d) to all elderly >80y.
Secondary rickets/ osteomalacia Due to other disease, e.g. malabsorp­tion, liver disease, renal tubular disorders, or chronic renal failure. Treat underlying cause and supplement Ca2+ and vitamin D as needed.
Vitamin D- dependent rickets Rare autosomal recessive inherited disorder resulting in an enzyme decit in the metabolism of vitamin D.Refer for spe­cialist care. Treated with vitamin D and Ca2+ supplements.
Hypophosphataemic rickets (vitamin D- resistant rickets) X- linked dom­inant trait resulting in d proximal renal tubular resorption of phosphate. Parathyroid hormone and vitamin D levels are normal. Specialist manage­ment is needed. Treatment is with phosphate replacement ± calcitriol.

CHAPTER14 Musculoskeletalproblems
Osteoporosis
Lifetime risk of osteoporotic fracture is 1:3 in and 1:5 in (>200,000 fractures/ y in the UK). The main morbidity and nancial costs of osteopor­osis relate to hip fracture where incidence i steeply >70y. Treatment aims to prevent fracture.
Denitions
T- score Compares bone mineral density (BMD) of the subject with the young adult mean (age 30y)
Osteoporosis Dened as BMD >2.5 standard deviations (SD) below the young adult mean (i.e. T score of <−2.5). There is 2– 3× i relative risk of fracture for each SD d in BMD
Osteopenia Diagnosed if T- score is between −1 and −2.5
Z- score Compares BMD of the subject to an age- matched normal control, i.e. measures whether BMD is normal for the patient’s age. Cannot be used to diagnose osteoporosis or osteopenia, but may be useful in young patients to predict osteoporosis risk for the future
Causes Osteoporosis may be 1° or 2° to other medical conditions:
Endocrine Hypogonadism (e.g. premature menopause, anorexia, androgen blockade, taking aromatase inhibitors), hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, hyperprolactinaemia, Cushing’s disease, type 1 DM
GI Coeliac disease or other causes of malabsorption, inammatory bowel disease, chronic liver disease, chronic pancreatitis
Rheumatological RA, other inammatory arthropathies
Other Immobility, multiple myeloma, haemoglobinopathy, systemic mastocytosis, CF, COPD, CKD, homocystinuria
Fragility fracture Fracture sustained falling from ≤ standing height—
includes vertebral collapse (may not be as a result of a fall). Previous frac­ture is a risk for future fracture. Common fractures:
Hip Associated with i mortality Wrist Colles’ fracture
Osteoporotic vertebral collapse Causes pain, d height, and kyphosis. Pain can take 3– 6mo to settle and requires strong analgesia. Calcitonin is useful for pain relief for 3mo after vertebral fracture if other analgesics are ineective
Predicting fracture risk
available:FRAX® (available from M www.shef.ac.uk/ FRAX) and Qfracture® (available from M www.qfracture.org). Qfracture does not require BMD measurement; FRAX can be performed without BMD measurement. Both provide information on 10y probability of hip or other osteoporotic frac­ture. Case- nding and further actions— Figure 14.6.
Bone mineral density (BMD) measurement X- rays cannot be
used to measure BMD, but are useful if vertebral fracture or metastases is suspected. Hip and lumbar spine BMD is measured using dual energy X- ray absorptiometry (DXA). Do not request without prior use of a risk predic­tion tool, e.g. FRAX® (without BMD measurement) or Qfracture®.

2 validated fracture risk prediction tools are
https://t.me/med1917
OSTEOPOROSIS
Glucocorticoid use Steroid use is a risk factor for osteoporosis.
Minimize steroid dose. For patients taking oral/ high- dose inhaled steroids for >3mo or frequent courses of steroids, in addition:
• Add bone protection agent (e.g. bisphosphonate) for patients >65y or
with history of fragility fracture or
• Refer patients <65y without history of fragility fracture for DXA scan
and add a bone protection agent if T score is ≤−1.5
