MRI spots hamstring injuries, keeps skaters flying high
Triple lutzes, triple-loop combinations, and quadruple jumps are now standard in the repertoire of figure skaters. But these athletes would be skating on thin ice without the power and strength provided by the hamstring muscles. Because the average skater takes on nine times his or her body weight after landing a jump, keeping this part of the lower extremities in top-notch condition is crucial.

Polyclinic offers thrills enough for Boston bone rad

Olympic skiers tear up slopes -- and knees
SALT LAKE CITY - Anterior cruciate ligament tears have made up the majority of injuries seen by radiologists at the Polyclinic during the first week of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games.
