The Sports Medicine Research Rundown

What do you do when a patient presents with chronic lateral hip pain that wakes them up at night? In this episode, we sit down with orthopedic surgery and sports medicine specialist Dr. Ferdinand Chan from Montefiore Medical Center to dissect Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS). Dr. Chan shares insights regarding non-operative loading strategies versus advanced endoscopic surgical solutions. We debunk old myths surrounding "trochanteric bursitis" and "tight IT bands," shifting the focus to underlying gluteus medius and minimus tendinopathies. Dr. Chan maps out his exact clinical examination—including how to utilize the Jump Test, Trendelenburg sign, and the "C Sign" to differentiate intra-articular hip pathology from lumbar radiculopathy. We also dive deep into the mechanics of endoscopic IT band diamond-shaped lengthening, microtenotomy bone-drilling for chronic healing, and structural precautions for post-op physical therapy.

Are you still calling them "stress fractures"? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Christian Muller to discuss why the industry is moving toward the term Bone Stress Injury (BSI) to describe a spectrum of pathology. We explore the epidemiology of these injuries—affecting up to 20% of the sports population—and the critical "intrinsic" factors often missed, from Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) to metabolic deficiencies like Vitamin D and Ferritin.What You’ll Learn:The High-Risk Zones: Why injuries to the femoral neck, navicular, and anterior tibial cortex require aggressive management.Diagnostic Gold Standards: When to stick with X-rays and when the MRI or new VIBE sequences are non-negotiable.The "Quarterback" Approach: How to build a multidisciplinary team involving dietitians, endocrinologists, and physical therapists for optimal recovery.Footwear & Biomechanics: The truth about minimalist shoes, orthotics, and why "low step rates" might be increasing your injury risk.Featured Guest: Dr. Christian Muller is a Primary Care Sports Medicine Physician at Northwell Health.

Is it a frozen shoulder, or is it a missed posterior dislocation? In this episode of the Sports Medicine Research Rundown, Tim Tyler and Rob Shapiro sit down with Dr. Alex Volpi (Orthopedic Surgeon, Optum Pro Health) to demystify one of the most challenging diagnoses in the shoulder complex: Posterior Shoulder Instability.While posterior instability makes up only ~5-10% of instability cases, it is frequently misdiagnosed as rotator cuff pathology or adhesive capsulitis. Dr. Volpi breaks down the critical "signal vs. noise" diagnostic cues, including the mechanism of injury (seizures vs. offensive linemen), the "Lightbulb Sign" on X-ray, and the utility of the Jerk and Kim tests.We also go deep into the surgical evolution—debating the Modified McLaughlin procedure versus the modern humeral head allograft—and outline the specific rehab protocols necessary to protect the posterior labrum post-op.Key Takeaways:The Diagnostic Trap: Why posterior dislocations are often missed and misdiagnosed as frozen shoulder.Clinical Pearls: How to perform and interpret the Jerk Test and Kim Test for subtle instability.Surgical Strategy: Understanding the Reverse Hill-Sachs lesion and why Dr. Volpi prefers Allograft reconstruction over the McLaughlin procedure.Rehab Restrictions: Why the standard "sling position" might be dangerous for posterior repairs and when to introduce active external rotation.Topics & Timestamps:(00:00) Intro & Guest Welcome(08:50) Anterior vs. Posterior Instability Incidence(12:40) Mechanisms of Injury: Seizures vs. Microtrauma in Athletes(17:45) How to Reduce a Posterior Dislocation (and when NOT to)(21:00) Special Tests: The Jerk Test & Kim Test(36:30) Imaging Secrets: The "Lightbulb Sign"(38:30) Surgical Debate: Modified McLaughlin vs. Humeral Head Allograft(47:30) Post-Op Rehab: Sling positioning and Range of MotionGuest Bio:Dr. Alex Volpi is an Orthopedic Surgeon at Optum Pro Health in New York/Long Island, specializing in sports medicine and shoulder/elbow surgery.
