Such a fantastic case. If you are in Ortho or MSK care and don't follow James, you are missing out on interacting with one of the top diagnosticians of our time.

Insertional tendon changes are typically part of apophysitides - I see this in the hamstring tendon in ischial apophysitis almost universally, calcaneal apophysitis etc etc - its part of the 'wider syndrome' (if not defined by imaging)

Into skeletal maturity, a % of OGS patients have persistent pain - possibly due to persistent insertional tendinopathy, or irritable intra-tendinous ossicle.

[Derek Griffin @DerekGriffin86]

@DrJN_SportsMed Interesting that it is a common feature across different sites. Clinically, the symptoms behave very much like an insertional tendinopathy.

"Researchers should not use the “factors associated with” study design and scientific journals should not publish these analyses."

I seem to have been discussing pilot and feasibility studies a lot this week. One question often asked is how big should my pilot/feasibility study be? 1/6

🎙️New podcast: The Replication Crisis Hits Sports Science.
72% of sports science studies could NOT be replicated.
Effect sizes dropped 75%. Nearly 90% of researchers wouldn’t even share data. We explore bad incentives, a crisis of trust & how to fix it

@ThomasRoth91 @GregLehman @LennartBentsen Proposed explanation, I might add.

[Gordon H. Guyatt @GuyattGH]

Ground-breaking, still highly relevant paper established that specific health status measurement #instruments are better at detecting treatment effects – that is, more responsive – than are generic instruments.

No differences in prevalences of pubic-related radiographic findings between football players with and without groin pain!

Great to see another online paper from my PhD🤩

It is open access! 🆓 ⬇️

A major update to the CONSORT reporting guidance for clinical trials was published last week.
📌 CONSORT 2025 replaces all previous versions and should be used from now on.
So what’s new and what’s different? 1/7

PhDone!

Honoured to defend >10yrs of work alongside my promotors, Prof. Kerkhoffs & Prof. @Jltol.
Massive thanks to our team, opponents, friends & family.

Big news for #EBM! Just out in #BMJ, ROBUST-RCT, pristinely developed, innovative, simple, user-friendly instrument for risk of bias assessment in #RCTs far superior to anything before, will become standard outside of Cochrane and in #Cochrane if they let folks use it.

17 yo footballer & sprinter

Ramp in training - worsening lower abdominal pain into medial groin / adductor region & into perineum

Initially R, then more severe L

Sprinting, change of direction / cutting, abdominal / core work provocative

Also cough & sneeze, rolling. over in bed

Clinically, pain reproduced on isometric adductor testing, resisted crunches, tender symphysis pubis

POCUS - L superior pubic apophysis fragmented / widened

MRI - marked perisymphyseal bone oedema, L > R as per laterality of symptoms, plus inflammation across L superior pubic apophysis.

So - pubic overload / pubic apophysitis

The pubic apophyses often fuse very late (up to late 20s!) versus other pelvic apophyses - so might not be on our diagnostic radar

Key is not to confuse with adductor related groin pain, which might send us down an erroneous tendon focused rehab programme
