2018 saw us introduce the e-editions of BJSM, focused on Pain Management and Return to Play. In 2019, we will continue to draw upon the high-quality content available across our BJSM and BMJ platforms to make sure our readers are up to date with the latest from sport and exercise medicine research. We will also link to external articles of interest to provide a well-rounded overview of the chosen topic. We support the articles with relevant podcasts, infographics and videos to cater to our readers’ many learning styles.
If you have ideas or want to suggest topics for future editions, we are keen to serve you, our audience. Therefore, please get in touch by using the #BJSMOnlineEdition on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram to let us know your thoughts.
In this edition, we focus on the latest research in hip and groin pathology. We have the most recent updates on the management of Femoro-acetabular Impingement Syndrome (FAIS) including the latest in the debate on exercise vs surgery. We will also link to some of the key content in the management of athlete related groin pain and highlight key resources for managing lateral hip pain.
In 2018, our partners at @SportfisioSwiss hosted the Swiss Sports Med’ conference dedicated to hip and groin pain with a host of top researchers presenting their thoughts, the videos are top quality and we highlight some of our favourites. We highly encourage members to consider the 2019 conference as an option for their professional development!
Don’t forget to download the BJSM App. It remains a convenient way to see all the latest podcasts, blogs and other BJSM content.
We hope you enjoy these supplementary BJSM editions and wish you a physically active day!
Your BJSM online editors.

PODCAST – Take homes from 1st World Conference on Groin Pain in Athletes: Doha Agreement
The heavyweights in groin pain were invited to work on focused systematic reviews and share their thoughts in person in Doha, Qatar.
But there was a catch. They were locked in a room with just LCHF foodstuffs and told not to come out until there was a useful product for clinicians. Adam Weir (@AdamWeirSports), the driving force behind this effort, shares what was achieved and how this can help in clinical practice.
