Stay in the Game The weather has warmed up, but what about you? Preparing for outdoor activities can help prevent many orthopedic-related aches, pains, and injuries. by Shari Held

It’s summer—time to take advantage of the sunshine and get active. But as you hit the tennis courts or throw yourself into a DIY landscaping project, remember this: Without proper preparation, your pleasure can quickly turn to pain. And that may put the kibosh on your activities for the season. Summer injuries are common enough that local physicians gear up to treat the “weekend warriors” flocking to their offices. “Injuries often occur when people go straight from the couch to competitive activities such as softball,” says Wesley G. Lackey, M.D., a hip- and kneereplacement specialist with Franciscan Physician Network, Joint Replacement Surgeons–Mooresville. “They think they still have the body of a teenager. And they pay for it.” Unfortunately, there are many ways to pay for it—sprained ankles, cuts and bruises, arthritis flare-ups, fractures, and torn rotator cuffs, tendons, ligaments, or muscles. But that doesn’t mean getting hurt is inevitable. Here’s a look at some of the most common injuries of the season, how to recognize when pain warrants a trip to the doctor, and how to protect yourself so you can enjoy the great outdoors. What’s the risk with your activity?
Many sports and activities popular in the summer use a specific set of muscles and joints and come with potential injuries.
You’ve perfected your swing, now be mindful of shoulder and elbow injuries that can strike golfers.
Golf
“Shoulder injuries, usually rotatorcuff tendonitis–type issues, are common in golfers,” says Jonathan B. Shook, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon and sportsmedicine specialist with OrthoIndy. “It’s an overuse issue.” Other injuries that can take their toll include golfer’s elbow (tendonitis on the inside of the elbow) and meniscus issues, which affect the cartilage pad between the upper and lower bone of the knee.
Baseball/softball
Pitchers are prone to shoulder problems and elbow injuries, such as a torn ligament. It’s rare, but occasionally they dislocate their shoulders. “More common for baseball players in general are finger injuries from getting hit by the ball or grabbing the base with their thumb in the wrong position as they slide into base,” says Michael Pannunzio, M.D., a specialist in microvascular reconstruction and hand, wrist, and July 2014 | IM 87

elbow surgery with Reconstructive Hand to Shoulder of Indiana. Other common injuries for the sport include twisted knees and sprained ankles. Cycling
IT band syndrome is a condition in which the tendon that goes down the outside of the knee (the iliotibial band) becomes inflamed and causes pain. “It’s an overuse injury that happens with the repetitive motion of cycling,” says Rodney Benner, M.D., a knee specialist with Shelbourne Knee Center. Running
Vigorous running or jogging can leave knees sore, stiff, and weak, and those aches can get progressively more intense. “A lot of overuse injuries don’t have specific structural diagnoses attached to them,” Benner says. Repeated pressure on the ankles and knees can result in stress fractures. “I urge runners to try alternate forms of cardio exercise, such as cycling, swimming, or running on an elliptical, where they avoid the repetitive impact of the footfall on the ground,” says Stephen P. Jacobsen, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine with Hazel Dell Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, part of Riverview Medical Group. Tennis
A pulled calf muscle is a common tennis injury. And then there’s the one we hear the most about—tennis elbow, which is tendonitis on the outside of the elbow. “It’s usually caused by an inappropriately sized racquet or an inappropriately sized grip on the racquet,” says Shook of OrthoIndy.
A wrong-sized racquet can contribute to tennis elbow.
“Folks who are getting a little older and who have a bit of arthritis can sometimes have a flare-up from working in the yard,” Pannunzio says. Squatting and stooping load and stress the knee while it’s bent, which can cause flare-ups in arthritis and in past injuries to the meniscus or cartilage in the knee. “Those seem to be more symptomatic when people have their knees in a bent position,” Benner says. Other issues such as rotator-cuff tendonitis or rotator-cuff tears cause pain in the shoulder blade and halfway down the arm. “Many people ignore it until it gets severe,” Jacobsen says. “If you have trouble laying in bed on that side, that’s your cue to see your doctor because that usually indicates a potential tear. And tears are best treated early.”
Yard work
Homeowners are also prone to tennis elbow. “Hold a weedeater palm down, away from the body for a long period of time, and depending on how heavy it is, you’re going to start to feel it in your elbow,” Jacobsen says. Tendonitis of the hands or wrist, caused by the repetitive motion of pulling weeds, grasping a shovel, or operating clippers to prune or trim bushes, is a major complaint of gardeners. 88 IM | July 2014
Never underestimate overuse
Overuse injuries can be caused by using the same muscles and joints repeatedly. If you’re a weekend warrior, pay attention—you have some control over this. “Overuse injuries, in general terms, are painful injuries caused by doing exercise that your body either isn’t conditioned for or doesn’t have the capacity to perform at that time,” Benner says.
Muscles may not be able to withstand the stress placed on them, and bones can ultimately develop fractures if they’re subjected to repetitive loading. Overuse injuries can be serious problems for kids who throw overhand. Jacobsen suggests they take a few months off each year. “It doesn’t need to be three consecutive months, but the body has to have time to heal,” he says. “The joints, ligaments, and tendons just can’t handle so many repetitions year-round.” How do you know if you have an overuse injury? Pain is the most common sign, Lackey says. “Many times that can be addressed by just backing off a little bit and then easing back into the activity.” A typical overuse issue, tendonitis, is often indicated by pain and stiffness. “Tendonitis feels like a sore muscle, but the soreness is more intense where the tendon attaches to the bone or crosses the joint,” Pannunzio says. “It’s not uncommon for it to be worse in the morning when you first get up and start moving.” Red flags for other types of injuries, according to Jacobsen, include pain that persists after you quit your activity; swelling, especially in a joint; bruising that isn’t the result of direct impact; and a sensation of catching or locking of a joint that impedes motion, especially in the knees.

Avoid being sidelined this season by taking time to properly warm up.
It may be time to see the doctor if your injury doesn’t respond to simple techniques such as RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation), if the pain is severe and continues to worsen, if the pain lasts for more than a week, or if there is any deformity—your sprained ankle doesn’t look like your other ankle. “Trust yourself,” Shook says. “If it hurts and it’s not something that you’re used to hurting, then see an expert.” Protect yourself
Here are some practices to keep your bones, muscles, and joints safe so you can enjoy your summer. Stay active. “Motion is lotion,” Lackey says. “Exercise is the best thing we have to keep our bodies working well. We just need to be smart about keeping it consistent in terms of easing into new activities and maintaining the activity level.” That’s especially true for seniors. “Staying in shape in general tends to help with overall balance and minimizes the risk of falls,” Pannunzio says. “If you trip over something, you’re able to right yourself rather than falling down.” Start slow. “The temptation when you are starting a new exercise activity is to jump in with both feet, but that can lead to muscle injury, stress fractures, 90 IM | July 2014
and other kinds of orthopedic ailments,” Benner says. Get expert instruction—especially when beginning a new activity. Benner suggests joining a runners’ group, investing in lessons, or hiring a personal trainer to give you proper guidance. Warm up and stretch. Whether it’s a new pastime or one you participate in routinely, warm up and give your muscles a good stretch for about 10 minutes before beginning. This is key to preventing injuries. “The best warm-up is to do the activity you are going to do at halftempo and then ease into it,” Lackey says. “And rather than stretching the muscles prior to warming up, incorporate stretching into the warm-up.” Wear protective gear. That can help prevent new injuries or further damage existing ones. “Wrist bands, elbow pads, helmets—almost every sport is going to have its own protective equipment,” Shook says. Ensure a good fit. Beware of borrowed tennis racquets with an inappropriate grip size or shoes that rub and give you blisters. They may contribute to problems down the road. Use supportive devices on old injuries. Compression sleeves, ankle braces, or knee sleeves—they can keep you from hurting yourself again.
“Being smart and taking steps to prevent a reinjury is critical,” Jacobsen says. Pre-medicate. If you’re living with a condition that’s already been diagnosed and for which you’re undergoing treatment, such as arthritis, taking an anti-inflammatory beforehand can help reduce aches and pains. “There’s some good science behind that,” Shook says. “It helps with the buildup of inflammatory chemicals that cause the soreness after you finish your activity.” Take a break. Whenever you start to feel sore, it’s time for a breather. “You don’t need to lay down all 13 cubic yards of mulch in one day,” Jacobsen says. “Once you start fatiguing, you start using different groups of muscles, and the reactive forces across the joints start to increase. In short, you set yourself up for an injury.” Schedule smart. If the temperature is in the 90s—a typical Indiana summer day—schedule that tennis game early in the morning or later in the evening. Lack of hydration can cause heat cramps, which is easily resolved by rehydrating, but heat stroke is a life-threatening condition that requires emergency attention and hospitalization. “You see this during tennis tournaments, track meets, and soccer matches,” Jacobsen says. “Those are very high-risk activities.” Wind down. A cool-down restores your body for the next time you exercise so you won’t have achy or tight muscles. It’s most beneficial for someone who is living with a condition like tendonitis or osteoarthritis. Jacobsen notes that previous afflictions—especially those in the foot and ankle— can be prone to post-activity swelling months after the original injury. “When you get done with your activity, you need to be sure you’re propping it up and icing it down each and every time,” he says. Rest is a good thing. Don’t start your next game until you’ve given your body time to rest. And when you do, consider doing something different. “Varying your activity is probably the No. 1 thing you can do to prevent an overuse injury,” Shook says.

More Than a Pain in the Neck
T
You don’t have to live with acute and chronic aches.
by Shari Held
That annoying shoulder soreness you feel when you extend your arm overhead could actually be a good thing. Pain is our body’s SOS that there’s a potential problem. But for many people, pain itself has taken center stage. Statistics from the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies estimate that 100 million American adults currently live with chronic pain. Fortunately, musculoskeletal (bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves) aches and pains can be managed, from conservative treatments to surgical procedures. And innovative ways to relieve pain are continually being added to the mix. Why you feel pain and ways to prevent it
When an area of your body feels stressed or damaged, it transmits signals to the spinal cord and eventually to the brain. Once the brain processes them, you feel pain. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the knee, the back, and the shoulder are the top three areas for which people visit their doctors when it comes to musculoskeletal pain. To avoid low back, knee, or hip pain, stay active and maintain an appropriate weight so pressure on your joints is minimized. Keeping your core strong also helps. “When the discs degenerate, the best thing you can do is improve the scaffolding around the spine—the core muscles—so they absorb the brunt of the shock,” says Christopher Doran, M.D., an interventional pain-management physician and an anesthesiologist for Goodman Campbell Brain & Spine. 92 IM | July 2014
And if you smoke, stop. If you don’t, keep it that way. There’s a direct correlation between smoking and disc degeneration, according to Doran. When pain needs to be managed
“Ninety percent of lower-back pain will get better on its own in two weeks,” Doran says. “It’s usually managed with basic over-the-counter anti-inflammatories, a day or two of rest, and ice or heat.” Pain that persists or that gets worse with time warrants a trip to the doctor. It can signal a more serious issue such as osteoarthritis, commonly referred to as OA. OA, a progressive, degenerative joint disease that affects 27 million Americans,
is the most common form of knee arthritis. With OA, the protective cartilage gradually wears away, resulting in painful joints and reduced function. “OA has no known cure, and it’s the leading cause of disability in middle-aged adults,” says Jack Farr, M.D., medical director of the OrthoIndy Cartilage Restoration Center of Indiana. “While it cannot be fully prevented, if the risk factors are minimized, the onset and extent may be improved.” Conservative pain treatment for earlystage knee OA includes weight loss, physical therapy, supportive devices (canes, shock-absorbing shoe inserts, or knee braces) and anti-inflammatory medications. Steroid injections or

hyaluronan injections may also be used. These measures may make you feel better temporarily, but they don’t usually provide permanent relief. Surgery is typically the next step. For knees, the most common treatments are partial-knee replacement (replacing one portion of the knee, whether it be the kneecap; the inside of the knee, called the medial; or the outside of the knee, the lateral) and total-knee replacement. Innovations, such as the KineSpring System made by Moximed Inc., may offer pain relief to patients with medial OA, the area of the knee most prone to the condition, who are unwilling or unable to have joint-replacement surgery. “We think it could potentially be a bridging procedure,” Farr says. “No bone is removed, so you can do a partialor full-knee replacement afterward.” Farr is the principal investigator of the U.S. SOAR Trial, a study designed to delineate safety and evaluate the effectiveness of the KineSpring System, which is already approved for use in Europe. The SOAR Trial is being conducted at Indiana Orthopaedic Hospital South and is
open to patients with medial compartment knee OA. During the surgery, two incisions are made to insert the device, a springlike unit about the diameter of a pencil, and its two small mounting bases. It’s implanted on the bone outside the knee joint. The procedure requires an overnight hospital stay, and patients are on crutches for about two weeks after surgery. Post-operative therapy focuses on improving stiffness and swelling and regaining motion in the knee, a process that takes about three months. The true benefits of the KineSpring System are not known, though potential benefits include a relief or decrease in knee OA symptoms and/or an improvement in knee function, or a delay in the need for joint replacement surgery—but there are no guarantees. “We are finding similar types of improvement as reported in European trials,” Farr says. “And they are finding the vast majority of patients have had sustained relief of their OA symptoms.” For more information, visit soarstudy .com.

“Pain associated with weakness or that significantly limits you at home or at work should be evaluated by your healthcare professional,” Doran says. If you ignore pain caused by overuse issues, you risk turning a minimal muscle or tendon tear into a larger tear and a bigger problem. Pain accompanied by weakness could indicate a pinched nerve. “The danger with that is the longer there’s pressure on the nerve, the better chance it can be chronically damaged,” Doran says. “Sometimes the function won’t come back completely.” Another potential consequence to living with long-term, untreated pain is that the tissues can become hypersensitized, and your pain could continue even when the physical cause is resolved. “It’s much more difficult to treat at that point,” Doran says.
