Team physicians may be called upon to treat adolescent athletes, defined in this document as those in the range of 12-18 yr of age. Many are involved in school-based, intramural, or specialized sports participation and/or training, potentially resulting in injury and/or illness. Specialized treatments may be necessary due to growth and development of the adolescent. Additionally, psychological factors in this age group may play an important role in sports participation, emotional well-being, and injury rehabilitation. While many children younger than 12 yr of age are active in sports participation, their medical and musculoskeletal concerns are not included in the scope of this consensus statement. The healthcare team must stay educated and knowledgeable regarding potential challenges to individuals participating safely in sport. All healthcare professionals should provide quality care, free from discrimination and specific to the needs of every unique individual. Ensuring access to care, fostering welcoming sporting environments, and recognizing the distinct challenges faced by underrepresented populations will reduce healthcare disparities and improve safe participation across all sports.

We present a case involving a futsal player with brain concussions and commotio retinae to protect the affected area and support a safe, prompt return to play custom face guard instead of a commercial face guard and sports goggles. For a better fit, we fabricated a custom face guard, for which a facial impression was taken using dental alginate material and plaster in July 2019. The following month, the custom face guard was set on the player's face so that its outline provided minimal coverage of the nose area compared with a conventional face guard. The field of view during play and the guard's protectiveness were tested by confirming that the ball did not strike the player's eyes. This is a rare case involving face guard use for eye injury prevention. The findings suggest that a custom face guard may be employed as a preventive measure for futsal-related eye injuries.

This report will present a unique case of a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner who sustained a displaced thyroid cartilage fracture during training, which required surgical treatment to prevent long-term voice complications. The existing medical literature and posts from a common Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu forum were queried to contextualize injuries that the authors contend are both underreported and avoidable. Despite the absence of similar cases in the medical literature, there was a relative abundance of forum posts outlining laryngotracheal symptoms (dysphonia, dysphagia, and odynophagia) sustained after Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training, for which most users did not seek medical care. These injuries are often the result of a particular set of techniques (chokeholds), highlighting an opportunity to educate practitioners and, potentially, to perform these techniques more safely.
