Traumatic Serratus Anterior Muscle Tear Presenting as Isolated Posterior Shoulder Pain in a Professional Volleyball Athlete: A Case Report
Serratus anterior muscle injuries are rare, most commonly reported in rowing and overhead throwing athletes. These injuries typically present with anterolateral chest wall pain and a palpable mass. Atypical presentations may lead to diagnostic challenges, particularly when symptoms mimic shoulder pathology. We report the case of a 26-year-old male professional volleyball player who presented with acute-onset posterior shoulder pain following a serving motion.

Labral reconstruction for irreparable labral tears in adolescents and young adults: positive functional improvement and high survivorship at 5-year follow-up
The acetabular labrum is a crucial component for the hip joint stability. Studies have demonstrated its role in maintaining intra-articular synovial fluid pressurization-creating negative intra-articular pressure. Additionally, the labrum enhances joint stability by increasing acetabular volume by 33%, deepening the socket, and improving resistance to lateral and vertical motion of the femoral head within the acetabulum
What Is a Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, causes gradual pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint, limiting arm movement. It often affects people over 40 and can be linked to conditions like diabetes and thyroid disease.

ACL injuries may get an early-warning system through AI and wearable sensors
Using a decade of research across human motion analysis, cadaveric testing (using donated human knees for experiments) and computer modeling, they are developing an AI-powered wearable that could identify risky movement patterns and provide real-time feedback to help athletes avoid injury.
