Abstract: Pelvic floor dysfunction is still an undervalued, underreported, and undertreated condition among female athletes. Despite high prevalence rates and growing interest within the scientific community, significant gaps persist in the application of evidence-based practices in sports medicine. This commentary, inspired by real questions encountered in the authors' work, is presented in a Q&A format to simulate a realistic conversation. The authors aim to provide answers to sports medicine physicians and the wider interdisciplinary team by offering a comprehensive overview of key considerations for managing athletes with persistent pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms. Through evidence-based suggestions, strategies, and a critical approach, the commentary aims to improve the understanding of the current best practice strategies for managing these athletes, both during and after conservative treatment options.

Abstract: Rib fractures are frequently encountered in contact sports, with pyopneumothorax as a potentially severe complication. However, it is infrequent for pleural empyema to progress to purulent pericarditis and cardiac tamponade. In this report, we present a successful case of a 41-year-old previously healthy Muay Thai fighter who developed purulent pericarditis with cardiac tamponade due to the contiguous spread of infection from an empyemic hydropneumothorax caused by traumatic rib fracture. Emergency pericardial and pleural drainage were performed, and despite negative cultures from both pericardial and pleural fluid, empiric broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy demonstrated significant efficacy. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and treatment of infrequent but potentially lethal complications of rib fractures associated with contact sports.

Abstract: This was a cross-sectional study of sports medicine fellows from previous (2010-2015) and contemporary (2016-2021) training periods. There were 2315 trainees from family medicine (FM, 85%), 261 trainees from physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR, 10%), and 133 trainees from emergency medicine (EM, 5%). PMR had the highest female and Asian trainee representation while FM had the highest Black trainee representation. There was no difference in female representation between training periods (30% vs 30%, P = 0.714). White trainee representation decreased between training periods (72% vs 65%, P < 0.001). Black (6% vs 6%, P = 0.894), Asian (15% vs 15%, P = 0.970), and Hispanic (6% vs 7%, P = 0.130) trainee representation was consistent between training periods. Female (participation-to-prevalence ratio, PPR = 0.59), Black (PPR = 0.48), Hispanic (PPR = 0.35), and American Indian/Alaskan Native (PPR = 0.17) trainees were underrepresented in sports medicine relative to the US population. Efforts to recruit underrepresented groups in sports medicine fellowship training may help create a more diverse workforce.
摘要：本研究对以往（2010-2015年）和当代（2016-2021年）训练期间的运动医学研究员进行了横断面研究。家庭医学学员2315人（FM，占85%），物理医学与康复学学员261人（PMR，占10%），急诊医学学员133人（EM，占5%）。PMR的女性和亚洲学员比例最高，而FM的黑人学员比例最高。不同训练期的女性代表人数没有差异（30% vs 30%, P = 0.714）。培训期间白人学员的比例下降（72% vs 65%, P < 0.001）。黑人（6%对6%，P = 0.894）、亚洲人（15%对15%，P = 0.970）和西班牙裔（6%对7%，P = 0.130）学员的代表性在各培训期间是一致的。与美国人口相比，女性（参与-患病率比，PPR = 0.59）、黑人（PPR = 0.48）、西班牙裔（PPR = 0.35）和美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民（PPR = 0.17）的学员在运动医学领域的代表性不足。努力在运动医学奖学金培训中招募代表性不足的群体，可能有助于创造更多样化的劳动力。
