Welcome to the September issue of Current Sports Medicine Reports !
September is here, schools are back in session and fall sports competitions are happening. We are excited to share this edition and hope you enjoy it.
Section Editor Chad Hulsopple, DO has put together an outstanding edition on Extremity and Joint Conditions. There are two fascinating case reports and three important section articles in this edition. Case report topics include pigmented villonodular synovitis recurrence mimicking a septic hip and trigger thumb at the A2 pulley in an airplane aficionado. The section articles cover the diagnosis and management of frozen shoulder, hip pain in an athlete, and the role of ultrasound in the management of ankle sprains. I think all these articles are awesome and you will find them useful in clinical practice.
We are really proud of the curriculum series that we have put together over the past few years and you won't want to miss the journal's latest special communication in this series: “Implementing a Sports Ultrasound Curriculum in Undergraduate Medical Education," by Allison N. Schroeder, MD; Idris Amin, MD; Brady J. Bowen, DO; Shelley Street Callender, MD; Megan Ferderber, MD, MPH; Hamish A. Kerr, MD, MSc; Shawn F. Phillips, MD, MSPT; Joshua M.
