Excerpt

“When can I start playing again?” is one of the first questions an injured athlete asks the clinician. The higher the level of sports, the more anxious the athlete is to get back to sport after injury. Who can and who should answer this question? This is, of course, a multifactorial issue and should depend on factors such as the athlete’s health status, type of injury, type and level of sport, as well as evidence-based injury risk factors for the healing tissue. In their decision-based return to play model comprising three steps, Creighton and co-workers [5] suggest that factors such as season, internal and external pressure to participate as well as conflict of interest should also be taken into account when drawing up guidelines for returning to sport after injury. …
