With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

Acute lateral ankle sprain (ALAS) is one of the most common sport injuries, with high incidence, recurrence and disability rates. Currently, exercise rehabilitation-based non-surgical treatment is the primary management approach for ALAS. However, there remain improper practices such as excessive immobilization or uncontrolled activity, which contribute to recurrent sprains and chronic ankle instability, significantly impairing patients′ athletic function and quality of life. To standardize the non-surgical management of ALAS, improve the cure rates, and reduce the recurrence and disability rates, Chinese Sports Rehabilitation Medicine Training Project of Chinese Medical Association, Foot and Ankle Basics and Orthopedics Group, Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Sports Medicine Branch of Jiangsu Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate Expert consensus on non-surgical treatment for acute lateral ankle sprain ( version 2025), following the principles of scientific vigor, practicality, and innovation. Thirteen recommendations were proposed for standardized treatment protocols across different healing phases, aiming to provide references for standard management of ALAS and improve the therapeutic outcomes.

Objective:To analyze the incidence of adverse treatment outcome of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) patients and influencing factors in 9 provinces in China.Methods:The information about the basic characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of RR-TB patients registered from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021 in 9 provinces (Beijing, Jilin, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei, Henan, Yunnan and Guizhou) were collected from the tuberculosis information management sub-system of China Disease Control and Prevention Information System for a descriptive analysis, and the influencing factors of adverse treatment outcome were identified by binary logistic regression analysis.Results:In 18 204 RR-TB patients in this study a total of 6 852 had adverse treatment outcomes (37.64%). Treatment failure occurred in 1 031 patients, 1 272 patients died, 2 284 patients were lost to follow-up, and 2 265 patients were not evaluated. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that being man (a OR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.43-1.66), age ≥65 years (a OR=2.42, 95% CI: 2.20-2.67), being from other ethnic groups (a OR=1.18, 95% CI: 1.03-1.35), being farmer (a OR=1.22, 95% CI: 1.13-1.32), being retired with honours or being retired (a OR=1.16, 95% CI: 1.00-1.35) and being floating population (a OR=1.23, 95% CI: 1.13-1.34), re-treatment (a OR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.24-1.42), long-term treatment therapy (a OR=3.26, 95% CI: 2.52-4.23), living in central provinces (a OR=2.76, 95% CI: 2.55-2.99), living in western provinces (a OR=2.31, 95% CI: 2.08-2.57) were the influencing factors for adverse treatment outcome of RR-TB. Conclusions:The incidence of adverse outcomes in RR-TB patients in 9 provinces in China was higher from 2017 to 2021. There were many influencing factors associated with adverse treatment outcome in RR-TB patients, especially the area specific factors. The national tuberculosis control program should strengthen the follow-up and treatment management of RR-TB in men, the elderly, floating population, people in central and western provinces and other key groups, actively promote the short-term treatment program and improve the allocation of medical resources to reduce the influencing for adverse treatment outcomes in RR-TB patient.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of arthroscopic outside-in release for gluteal muscle contracture (GMC) in supine position versus lateral decubitus position. METHODS: The clinical data of 34 GMC patients meeting selection criteria between January 2022 and May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Arthroscopic contracture band release was performed in the lateral decubitus position (lateral group, n=14) or the supine position (supine group, n=20). No significant difference ( P>0.05) was observed between groups in baseline data, including gender, age, body mass index, preoperative GMC functional quantitative score, modified Harris hip score (mHHS), visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score, and hip flexion/adduction range of motion (ROM). The total operation time, release procedure time, non-release procedure time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, and postoperative complications were recorded and compared. Functional outcomes (GMC functional quantitative score, mHHS score, VAS score, hip flexion/adduction ROM) were evaluated preoperatively and at 3, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. RESULTS: All incisions healed by first intention without major vascular or neurological complications. In the lateral group, 3 patients developed patchy bruising on bilateral buttocks and posterior thighs at 3 days after operation, which resolved after 2 weeks of ice packs and ultrasonic therapy. The supine group demonstrated significantly shorter total operation time, non-release procedure time, hospital stay, and reduced intraoperative blood loss versus the lateral group ( P<0.05). No significant difference was found in release procedure time ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up 24 months. Both groups showed significant improvements ( P<0.05) in mHHS score, GMC functional quantitative score, VAS score, and hip adduction/flexion ROM at all postoperative timepoints compared to preoperative values, with no significant intergroup differences ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION Both surgical positions effectively improve hip function in GMC patients. However, the supine position offers significant advantages over the lateral decubitus position in operation time, anesthesia management, intraoperative blood loss control, and reduced hospital stay.
