Challenging Injuries in Runners
Proximal hamstring tendinopathy, patellofemoral pain, and bone stress injuries are identified as particularly challenging injuries to manage in runners. Proximal hamstring tendinopathy tends to persist and is difficult to treat, especially in athletes with additional loading from sports like triathlon. Similarly, patellofemoral pain, the most common running-related injury, exhibits high recurrence rates, complicating effective treatment due to individual variability in symptoms. Bone stress injuries, although sometimes seen as simple to manage, present a complex challenge involving multifactorial risk factors, particularly in runners with a history of repeated injuries.
