  Umpires, referees, and sports officials have not been accorded the same attention as athletes by the sports medicine community. The physical and psychological demands of their jobs expose them to a unique constellation of medical, psychological, and orthopedic problems. Likewise their age, fitness level, and disease risk factors may warrant closer scrutiny for them and greater need for participation evaluation than the athletes with whom they share the field. Limited medical literature is published regarding the care of sports officials, even though they have a higher incidence of medical problems, cardiovascular risk, and orthopedic injuries than sports participants.

  More info

  A 51-year-old man suffered a rupture of the long-head tendon of the left biceps and a small rotator cuff tear while rock climbing. The typical signs and symptoms of a ruptured long-head biceps tendon include anterior shoulder pain, tenderness in the bicipital groove, and unusual bulging of the injured biceps. The history and physical exam are generally sufficient to make the diagnosis, but x-rays and MRI may be helpful to rule out related disorders. Because the injury is often associated with rotator cuff tendinitis, a complete shoulder exam is necessary. Conservative treatment will enable most patients to regain normal strength.
