ABSTRACT

Background: Injuries to the elbow are frequent in judo combat, but studies on down-time and effect on performance after conservative treatments are rare. This issue is particularly relevant for elbow dislocations in high-performance patients such as elite athletes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate (1) time-loss and (2) the regained level of performance in judoka after conservative treatment of simple elbow dislocation.

MethodsIn cooperation with the European Judo Union, judoka were asked to complete a 139-item survey regarding elbow injuries they suffered during their career. Besides demographics, injury data, diagnosis and treatment options, the athletes were asked about down-time and reductions in performance level. This study enrolled 108 judoka with conservative treatment of elbow dislocation out of a population of 5426 volunteers.

Results: 69% (n=74) reported a time-loss of less than three months; 6% reported a time-loss of more than six months. The majority (68%, n=73) reported that they had returned to their previous performance level, while 22% (n=24) suffered from a slightly reduced level of performance. In the subgroup of international and national athletes (n=54), 63% returned to judo after less than three months, with 72% achieving the same level and 15% reporting a slightly reduced performance level. Level of performance and time lost after conservative treatment for elbow dislocations were comparable for male and female judoka.

ConclusionApproximately two out of three judoka returned to the same level of performance after three months of down-time after undergoing conservative therapy for simple elbow dislocations. Despite the high performance level of the study population, conservative treatment of simple elbow dislocation resulted in satisfactory outcomes. The presented data can guide medical professionals and competitive-level contact-sport athletes with respect to expectations in the process of returning to sport.

  • I’ve learned quite a few important things through your post. I would also like to mention that there can be situation that you will obtain a loan and do not need a co-signer such as a Fed Student Support Loan. However, if you are getting financing through a regular banker then you need to be ready to have a cosigner ready to make it easier for you. The lenders will base their own decision using a few aspects but the main one will be your credit worthiness. There are some lenders that will as well look at your job history and decide based on that but in almost all cases it will depend on your credit score.

  • Another thing I’ve noticed is that often for many people, poor credit is the result of circumstances above their control. For example they may be actually saddled with an illness and as a consequence they have high bills going to collections. It may be due to a job loss or inability to do the job. Sometimes divorce proceedings can truly send the finances in the undesired direction. Thanks sharing your ideas on this site.
