RESUMO

This report updates previous analyses of health care burden distributions among active and reserve component service members of the U.S. Armed Forces in deployed settings. Musculoskeletal disorders in combination with administrative and other health services (ICD-10 "Z" codes) accounted for more than half of all medical encounters in 2023 among service members deployed to the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and Africa Command (AFRICOM). Three common injury conditions occurred among male and female service members deployed to U.S. CENTCOM and U.S. AFRICOM: other back problems, arm and shoulder injuries, and knee injuries.

RESUMO

Primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients under 50 is becoming more common. The goal of this study was to identify the diagnoses and predisposing factors for TKA prior to age 50. The Military Data Repository was queried for patients undergoing TKA prior to age 50. The cohort was matched to older patients. A total of 1,504 patients underwent manual record review for demographics, prior knee surgery, and indication for TKA. Primary osteoarthritis was the most common indication in both cohorts. Posttraumatic osteoarthritis was more common in patients who underwent TKA before age 50 (28%) compared with patients 50 and older (7%; p < 0.001). Patients who underwent TKA before age 50 were more likely to have previous anterior cruciate ligament injury, or any previous ipsilateral knee surgery (p < 0.001). These data suggest an association between prior knee injury and age at time of TKA. (Journal of Surgical Orthopaedic Advances 33(2):072-076, 2024).

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Traumatic proximal tibiofibular fracture and dislocation (PTFD) have been rarely studied and are easily missed in clinical practice. PTFD is considered a marker of severely traumatized knees. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the incidence and impact of PTFD in traumatized knees with vascular injury. METHODS: Patients with knee trauma and vascular injury were included from January 2022 to October 2023. X-rays and CT scans of included patients were retrospectively analyzed to determine the presence of PTFD. Patients were further divided into PTFD group and non-PTFD group for further comparative analysis. RESULTS: A total of 27 patients (28 limbs) were included. Incidence of PTFD was 39.3% (11/28) in traumatic knee with vascular injury, including 8 anterolateral dislocations and 3 posteromedial dislocations. PTFD group had significantly more limbs with open injuries compared with non-PTFD group (10/11 VS 7/17, p<0.05). Amputation rate of PTFD group was as high as 40% (4/10), compared to 23.5% (4/17) in non-PTFD group. However, the difference between two groups was not statistically significant (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: PTFD was easily overlooked or missed. In traumatized knees with vascular injury, incidence of PTFD was high. The presence of PTFD might indicate severe knee trauma and the possibility of open injury. Although there was no significant difference compared with non-PTFD group, PTFD group had a relatively high amputation rate of 40%.

RESUMO

In athletes, a mismatch between caloric intake and energy expended in exercise can eventually lead to Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs), where the athlete suffers from physiological derangements and decreased sport performance. The prevalence of REDs is higher in females than males. Females are already at a higher risk of knee injuries, which has been attributed to a multitude of factors such as hormonal influences, differences in musculoskeletal anatomy and neuromuscular control compared to males. The literature demonstrates an even higher risk of knee injuries in female athletes with symptoms of REDs. We propose the various factors that influence this risk. A reduction in anabolic hormones can affect muscle development and tendon repair. A relationship between poor neuromuscular control and knee injury has been established, and this can be further worsened in patients with menstrual dysfunction. Chronic deficiency in nutrients such as collagen and vitamin D can result in poorer recovery from microtrauma in tendons and ligaments. All these factors may contribute to increasing the risk of knee injuries, which may include anterior cruciate ligament tears, patella tendinopathy and patellofemoral pain syndrome. This review aims to educate sports clinicians to have a high index of suspicion when treating knee injuries in females; to screen and then manage for REDs if present, for holistic patient care.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between football (soccer) participation and tibiofemoral knee osteoarthritis (OA), considering the influence of competitive level and previous knee injuries. DESIGN: Etiology systematic review with meta-analysis. LITERATURE SEARCH: PubMed, Embase, AMED, and Cochrane were searched for relevant publications. STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: Studies of football players that included a control group consisting of mainly sedentary nonfootball players, and the relationship of knee OA, were considered. The studies had to report radiographically verified knee OA and specify football activity. DATA SYNTHESIS: Eleven studies, involving 1805 football players and 4022 control individuals were included. Subgroups consisting of data regarding level of play and previous injuries were also synthesized. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of knee OA among football players was increased among professional and recreational players, compared with controls. When knee injuries were excluded, there was no difference in knee OA between football players and controls (OR = 1.25; 95% CI: 0.61, 2.54). Football players with a previous knee injury had a greater risk of knee OA when compared with football players with no history of previous knee injury (OR = 4.16; 95% CI: 1.97, 8.77). CONCLUSION: Football players were at increased risk of knee OA. However, after excluding participants with a history of previous knee injury, there were no differences in knee OA between football players and controls. Previous knee injury was important for developing knee OA. Playing football, in the absence of major knee injuries, did not increase the risk of knee OA. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2024;54(5):1-12.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Previous research has found that the incidence of neurovascular injury is greatest among multiligamentous knee injuries (MLKIs) with documented knee dislocation (KD). However, it is unknown whether there is a comparative difference in functional recovery based on evidence of a true dislocation. PURPOSE: To determine whether the knee dislocation-3 (KD3) injury pattern of MLKI with documented tibiofemoral dislocation represents a more severe injury than KD3 MLKI without documented dislocation, as manifested by poorer clinical outcomes at long-term follow-up. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: A multicenter retrospective cohort study was performed of patients who underwent surgical treatment for KD3 MLKI between May 2012 and February 2021. Outcomes were assessed using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score, Tegner activity scale, and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. Documented dislocation was defined as a radiographically confirmed tibiofemoral disarticulation, the equivalent radiology report from outside transfer, or emergency department documentation of a knee reduction maneuver. Subgroup analysis was performed comparing lateral (KD3-L) versus medial (KD3-M) injuries. Multivariable linear regression was conducted to determine whether documented dislocation was predictive of outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 42 patients (25 male, 17 female) were assessed at a mean 6.5-year follow-up (range, 2.1-10.7 years). Twenty patients (47.6%) were found to have a documented KD; they reported significantly lower IKDC (49.9 vs 63.0; P = .043), Lysholm (59.8 vs 74.5; P = .023), and Tegner activity level (2.9 vs 4.7; P = .027) scores than the patients without documented dislocation. VAS pain was not significantly different between groups (36.4 vs 33.5; P = .269). The incidence of neurovascular injury was greater among those with documented dislocation (45.0% vs 13.6%; P = .040). Subgroup analysis found that patients with KD3-L injuries experienced a greater deficit in Tegner activity level than patients with KD3-M injuries (Δ: -3.4 vs -1.2; P = .006) and had an increased incidence of neurovascular injury (41.7% vs 11.1%; P = .042). Documented dislocation status was predictive of poorer IKDC (ß = -2.15; P = .038) and Lysholm (ß = -2.85; P = .007) scores. CONCLUSION: Patients undergoing surgical management of KD3 injuries with true, documented KD had significantly worse clinical and functional outcomes than those with nondislocated joints at a mean 6.5-year follow-up. The current MLKI classification based solely on ligament involvement may be obscuring outcome research by not accounting for true dislocation.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: In March 2020, public health concerns resulted in school closure throughout the United States. The prolonged sport cessation may affect knee injury risk in high school athletes. The purpose of this study was to describe and compare risk of knee injuries in high school athletes during 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 academic years, and stratify by gender, severity, mechanism of injury, injury type, and knee anatomic region. DESIGN: Historical-prospective cohort study. METHODS: This historical-prospective cohort study included 176 schools in 6 states matched by sport participation in control and COVID years from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2021. Injury rates per 1000 athletes per year were calculated with 95% confidence intervals. A negative binomial regression was performed to assess potential differences in knee injuries between academic years. RESULTS: 94,847 and 72,521 high school athletes participated in the 2019-2020 (19-20) and 2020-2021 (20-21) seasons. Knee injury risk was higher in the 20-21 season (19-20: 28.89% [27.82-29.96]; 20-21: 33.82% [32.50-35.14]). Risk increased for male athletes from 2019-2020 to 2020-2021 (19-20: 29.42% [28.01-30.83]; 20-21: 40.32% [38.89-41.75]). Female knee injury risk was similar between years (19-20: 25.78% [24.29-27.27]; 20-21: 26.03% [24.31-27.75]). Knee injuries increased by a ratio of 1.2 ([95% CI, 1.1-1.3], P < .001) during 2020-2021. CONCLUSIONS: Knee injury risk and relative risk increased among males in 2020-2021. Results indicate changes in knee injury risk following return from COVID shelter in place among high school athletes and implicate potential negative downstream effects of interrupted sports training and participation on high school injury risk.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: Cohen, JL, Cade, WH, Harrah, TC, Costello II, JP, and Kaplan, LD. The surgical management of NCAA Division 1 college football injuries post COVID-19: A single institution retrospective review. J Strength Cond Res 38(5): 906-911, 2024-The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on college football operations, including athletes' training regimens. As a result of these changes, concern for increased injury susceptibility post COVID-19 regulations has become a point of discussion. The current study sought to evaluate the incidence of surgical injury among NCAA Division 1 college football players at the authors' institution during the first full season after start of the COVID-19 pandemic compared with previous years. Retrospective chart review was performed for all players who sustained injuries requiring surgery while a member of the NCAA Division 1 football program during the 2009-2021 seasons. A p -value of ≤0.05 was used to determine significance. A total of 23 surgical injuries occurred in 22 players during the 2021 season compared with 121 in 118 players in the 12 previous seasons combined ( p = 0.0178; RR = 1.47). There was a significant increase in shoulder injuries ( n = 13 vs. n = 31; p = <0.0001; RR = 3.05) and specifically a significant increase in labral tears ( n = 10 vs. n = 30; p = 0.0003; RR = 2.74). No difference was seen in knee injuries ( n = 10 vs. n = 77; p = 0.27; RR = 1.35) and specifically no difference in anterior cruciate ligament injuries ( n = 3 vs. n = 31; p = 0.77; RR = 1.17). This phenomenon is multifactorial in nature, but alterations to players' training and preparations because of the COVID-19 pandemic likely resulted in suboptimal conditioning, leading to the increased incidence of surgical injuries emphasizing the importance of adequate strength training and conditioning.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There is an increasing rate of procedures being performed for concomitant injuries during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery. Few studies have examined risk factors for these associated injuries in young patients. HYPOTHESIS: There are patient-related factors predictive of concomitant knee pathology that differ between age-based cohorts. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: Natural language processing was used to extract clinical variables from available notes of patients undergoing ACL surgery between 2000 and 2020 at a single institution (5174 ACL surgeries; mean age, 17 ± 4 years; 53.1% female; accuracy, >98%). Patients were stratified to pediatric (5-13 years), adolescent (14-19 years), and young adult (20-35 years) cohorts. Logistic regression was used to determine predictors of concomitant injury to the menisci, medial collateral ligament (MCL), posterolateral corner (PLC), and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). RESULTS: Between 2000 and 2020, 54% of pediatric, 71% of adolescent, and 70% of adult patients had ≥1 concomitant soft tissue injury. In children and adolescents, increased age was consistently predictive of sustaining a concomitant injury (P < .02). Female children had increased odds of concomitant medial meniscal injury, while female adults had decreased odds (P≤ .046). Adolescent and adult female patients had decreased odds of concomitant lateral meniscal injury (P≤ .027). Female children had increased odds of injury to the MCL (P = .015), whereas female children and adolescents had decreased odds of PCL injury (P≤ .044). Adolescents undergoing revision ACL surgery had increased odds of meniscal injury (P≤ .001) and decreased odds of concomitant MCL injury (P = .028). Increased body mass index (BMI) was associated with increased odds of concomitant medial meniscal injury in all cohorts (P≤ .041), lateral meniscal injury in adults (P = .045), and PLC injury in children (P = .016). Contact injuries were associated with increased odds of MCL injury in adolescents (P = .017) and PLC injury in adolescents and adults (P < .014). CONCLUSION: These findings support the hypothesis, as there were multiple factors that significantly affected the risk of concomitant injuries that differed between cohorts. Increased age, BMI, and contact injury history were generally associated with increased odds of sustaining a concomitant injury, whereas female sex and revision ACL surgery had mixed effects. Further studies are essential to investigate the sex-based differences in risk for concomitant injuries and to develop tailored treatment plans that minimize the risk of secondary ACL injury.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Posttraumatic osteoarthritis of the knee (PTOAK) is a known sequela of bony and soft-tissue articular knee injuries, although its historically reported prevalence is highly variable with no recent population-based studies. METHODS: The TriNetX/US Collaborative Network database was queried to identify adult patients diagnosed with a history of knee trauma using ICD-10-CM coding. Primary outcomes measured were yearly incidence proportion (IP), incidence rate (IR), and prevalence of knee osteoarthritis in the United States from 2000 to 2022. Chi square analyses were conducted to compare outcomes across categorical data. Regression modeling was performed to project PTOAK epidemiology to 2030. Statistical significance was held at P < 0.05 for all analyses. RESULTS: Nine hundred forty-eight thousand eight hundred fifty-three patients meeting criteria were identified. As of 2022, the IP of PTOAK was 5.93%, IR was 2.26 × 10 -4 cases/person-day, and prevalence was 21.1%. By strata in 2022, posttraumatic knee OA is most prevalent among the 54 to 59-year-old age group (50.9%), 60 to 64-year-old age group (50.3%), 50 to 54-year-old age group (49.7%), female patients (24.2%), and White patients (23.1%). Regression analyses revealed that the IP, IR, and prevalence of PTOAK have increased exponentially from 2000 to 2022. By 2030, the model predicts that the IP will further increase to 10.7% (95% PI = 9.79% to 11.7%), IR will be 3.79 × 10 -4 cases/person-day (95% PI = 3.28 × 10 -4 to 4.29 × 10 -4 ), and prevalence of PTOAK in the United States will be 40.6% (95% PI = 39.1% to 42.0%). DISCUSSION: These findings echo earlier, smaller scale studies but reveal an alarming rise in PTOAK prevalence, potentially doubling by 2030. The financial burden of knee OA treatment in the United States is already substantial, costing between $5.7 and $15 billion USD annually. This projected increase in prevalence could further increase healthcare expenditures by $1 to 3 billion by 2030. These results emphasize the need for additional research into factors contributing to PTOAK, evidence-based preventive public health interventions, and the development of multidisciplinary system-based care delivery optimization pathways.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: The knee, low back, and shoulder account for most overuse injuries in volleyball. Previous researchers have used methodology that did not examine the extent of injury burden and effect on performance. OBJECTIVE: To develop a more accurate and complete understanding regarding the weekly prevalence and burden of knee, low back, and shoulder problems within the highest levels of men's volleyball, including the role that preseason complaints, match participation, player position, team, and age have on complaints. DESIGN: Descriptive epidemiology study. SETTING: Professional volleyball clubs and the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I program. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS: A total of 75 male volleyball players, representing 4 teams playing in their country's respective premier league (Japan, Qatar, Turkey, and the United States), participated over a 3-season period. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Players completed a weekly questionnaire (Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre Overuse Injury Questionnaire) reporting pain related to their sport and the extent to which knee, low back, and shoulder problems affected participation, training volume, and performance. Problems leading to moderate or severe reductions in training volume or performance or the inability to participate were considered substantial problems. RESULTS: The mean weekly prevalence of knee, low back, and shoulder problems based on 102 player-seasons was 31% (95% CI = 28%, 34%), 21% (95% CI = 18%, 23%), and 19% (95% CI = 18%, 21%), respectively. Most players (93%, 95/102 player-seasons) reported some level of knee (79%, n = 81/102 player-seasons), low back (71%, n = 72/102 player-seasons), or shoulder (67%, n = 68/102 player-seasons) complaints during the season. Most players (58%, n = 59/102 player-seasons) experienced at least 1 episode of substantial problems affecting the knee (33%, n = 34/102 player-seasons), low back (27%, n = 28/102 player-seasons), or shoulder (27%, n = 28/102 player-seasons). Players with preseason complaints had more in-season complaints than teammates without preseason problems (mean weekly prevalence: knee, 42% versus 8%, t49 = -18.726, P < .001; low back, 34% versus 6%, t32 = -12.025, P < .001; shoulder, 38% versus 8%, t30 = -10.650, P < .001). CONCLUSION: Nearly all included elite male volleyball players experienced knee, low back, or shoulder problems, and most had at least 1 bout that substantially reduced training participation or sport performance. These findings suggest that knee, low back, and shoulder problems result in greater injury burden than previously reported.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are devastating injuries for athletes. Prior studies have shown increased ACL injury rates on non-natural surfaces versus natural grass in several sports. The purpose of this study is to calculate the prevalence of ACL injuries in the NFL on natural versus non-natural surfaces to determine if there is a significant increase on non-natural surfaces. METHODS: Accessing publicly available data for NFL seasons beginning with the 2017-2018 season through 2021-2022 seasons, all ACL injuries with publicly available data concerning timing and playing surface were recorded and categorized according to playing surface. Practice injuries or those without an identifiable playing surface were excluded. Incidence rates, defined as ACL ruptures per game, were calculated. ACL injuries were recorded for each playing surface, as well as the combined category of non-natural grass surface. Odds ratio was calculated to compare the risk of ACL rupture on non-natural surfaces vs natural grass. RESULTS: During the 2017-2021 NFL seasons, 173 ACL ruptures were identified with known surfaces. Injury rate for non-natural surfaces was 0.134 compared to 0.097 for grass. Injury rate ratio for non-natural vs natural grass surfaces was 1.211, a 21.1% increased risk of ACL injury in the NFL on non-natural surfaces vs natural grass. OR for non-natural surfaces 1.239 (95% CI 0.900-1.704). Based on these findings there is a trend toward increased risk of ACL injury on non natural grass surfaces, however this did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSION: Numerous published studies show trends toward increasing rates of ACL injuries on non-natural playing surfaces vs natural grass. Based on our findings the difference is not statistically significant, however it does trend toward increased risk of ACL injury with non-natural surfaces. Further studies should be performed with larger sample sizes in order to further determine the risk of non-natural surfaces.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To describe our institutional experience and results in the surgical management of multiligament knee injuries (MLKI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective series of MLKI consecutively operated on at a single, level I Trauma Center. Data on patients' baseline characteristics, injuries, treatments, and outcomes were recorded up to one-year follow-up. Recorded outcomes included the Tegner-Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale (TLKSS), return to work, and patient satisfaction. RESULTS: MLKI incidence was 0.03% among 9897 orthopedic trauma admissions. Twenty-four patients of mean age 43.6 years were included in analysis. The mean Injury Severity Score was 12.6. Five patients presented with knee dislocations and six had fracture-dislocations, two of them open fractures. There was one popliteal artery injury requiring a bypass and four common peroneal nerve palsies. Staged ligamental reconstruction was performed in all cases. There were seven postoperative complications. The median TLKSS was 80 and, though patient satisfaction was high, and dissatisfaction was largely restricted to recreational activities (only 58.3% satisfied). Seventeen patients returned to their previous employment. CONCLUSIONS: We found a high aggregation of fracture-dislocations secondary to road traffic accidents. One in four patients experienced complications, particularly stiffness. Complications were more common in cases involving knee dislocation. Most patients had good functional results, but 25% were unable to return to their previous work, which demonstrates the long-lasting sequelae of this injury.

RESUMO

Abstract Objective This study aimed to identify the main knee complaints and injuries associated with baseball and their prevalence in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods This epidemiological study analyzed data from an online questionnaire sent to baseball athletes from the state of São Paulo, Brazil, from 2019 to 2022. Results Ninety-eight athletes participated in the study. Their average age was 24.3 years, and 85.72% of the subjects were men. The most prevalent ethnicities were yellow (50%) and white (42.86%). Most athletes had incomplete or complete higher education (75.5%). Most (88.77%) have been training for over 1 year, and 40.82% played in more than 1 position. More than half also practiced another sport. Most (66.32%) athletes present knee complaints or symptoms, and 37.75% had suffered a knee injury playing baseball, with several mechanisms (contact with the ground, contact with another player, or no contact). More than half (59.45%) of the athletes required time away from baseball due to complaints, symptoms, or injuries. Conclusion Among the athletes interviewed, 66.32% had a knee complaint, and 37.75% had already had a knee injury, especially meniscal and ligament injuries. The injury rate was highest in the first year of practice.

RESUMO

The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in children and adolescents has been growing recently. This problem is a challenge for the treating orthopedic surgeon, especially when the patient is in the prepubertal period with a high growth potential. Since reconstructive procedures require interventions close to active growth plates, they are associated with the risk of postoperative limb length discrepancies and limb deformities. Postponing ACL reconstruction until the end of growth is not a solution, as persistent knee instability increases the risk of secondary intra-articular damage. The key to success is not only knowledge of the anatomy and biomechanics of the pediatric knee but also the ability to predict the remaining growth potential and familiarity with a wide range of reconstructive surgical procedures available for patients at different ages.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patellar fractures have a comparatively low incidence compared to all fracture frequencies of the musculoskeletal system. However, surgical management is crucial to prevent postoperative complications that affect the knee joint. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of postoperative complications and onset of postoperative osteoarthritis related to the chosen technique of patellar fracture management. METHODS: In a retrospective cohort study consecutive managed, isolated patella fractures were reviewed for demographic data, trauma mechanism, patella fracture type, fixation technique and postoperative complications. The results were documented radiographically and clinically and analysed statistically. The reporting followed the STROBE guidelines. RESULTS: A total of 112 patients were eligible for data evaluation. Surgical management of comminuted patellar fractures with small fragment screws showed significant fewer postoperative complications compared to other fixation techniques (8%, p < 0.043). The incidence of posttraumatic infection was significantly higher following the hybrid fixation technique with cannulated screws and tension wire than following the other analysed techniques (p = 0.024). No postoperative wound infection was observed after screw fixation or locking plate fixation. Symptomatic hardware was most frequently seen after tension-band fixation. Onset of posttraumatic osteoarthritis was most often found after the hybrid fixation technique (55%). CONCLUSION: Surgical management of patellar fractures remains crucial but fracture fixation using plating systems or small fragment screws is least associated with postoperative complications. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Trial registration number (DRKS):00027894.

RESUMO

Background: During pivot-shift anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, bone bruises or impaction fractures of the lateral femoral condyle (LFC-IF) may occur due to impaction between the posterior part of the lateral tibial plateau and anterocentral part of the LFC. The purpose of the study was to systematically review the literature concerning the diagnosis, prevalence, clinical importance, and management of LFC-IF occurring during ACL injuries. Methods: Included were studies concerning impaction fractures of the anterocentral part of the LFC occurring during ACL injuries. Studies concerning only bone bruises or cartilage lesions, without subchondral bone impaction, were not included. A search was performed in Medline and Scopus databases, with final search in May 2022. A secondary search was conducted within the bibliographies of included articles and using "Cited In" option. Two authors independently extracted data in three domains: study design, LFC-IF characteristics, and LFC-IF importance and management. Results: A total of 35 studies were included for review with several studies reporting on multiple domains. Summarily, 31 studies were on the diagnosis and prevalence, 19 studies reported on the clinical importance, and 4 studies reported on the management of LFC-IF. Conclusions: A LFC-IF occurs due to the pivot-shift mechanism of ACL injury. Its radiological feature is defined as an impaction of terminal sulcus deeper than 1 mm and is present in up to 52% of patients with a torn ACL. An LFC-IF causes injury to the cartilage, probably leads to its progressive degeneration, and is significantly associated with an increased risk of a lateral meniscus injury. A large LFC-IF might be associated with greater rotational knee instability. Although several techniques of LFC-IF treatment were proposed, none of them has been evaluated on a large cohort of patients to date.

RESUMO

In recreational alpine skiing, an ACL injury represents the most common injury. Skiing is a complex activity where the skier interacts with the environment, such as weather, snow conditions, temperature, etc. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the potential impact of environmental factors on ACL injury risk in recreational alpine skiers. Among a cohort of 392 ACL-injured skiers and 392 uninjured controls matched for sex and skiing skill, environmental factors were collected by questionnaire. Factors included weather conditions, snow conditions, perceived temperature, and slope difficulty at the time-point of the accident (ACL-injured skiers) or of questioning during the ski day (uninjured controls).Multiple logistic regression revealed that in addition to age, five environmental factors were significantly predictive of an ACL injury: fresh snow (OR 10.5), grippy snow (OR 7.8), icy slope condition (OR 12.4), very cold/cold perceived temperature (OR 1.6), and skiing on easy slopes (OR 6.9). In conclusion, besides age, environmental factors such as fresh and grippy snow, icy slope conditions, low temperatures, and flat slopes are associated with an increased ACL injury risk in recreational alpine skiing. Those factors are at least partly modifiable and should be taken into consideration for preventive strategies.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of research investigating the harms associated with orthopaedic knee scooter (OKS) use and patient safety perceptions. This prospective study aimed to define the prevalence of OKS-related injuries, describe the patient perceptions of OKS safety, and identify potential risk factors. METHODS: This study was conducted at a single foot and ankle fellowship-trained surgeon's community-based clinic from 6/2020 to 4/2021 and enrolled 134 patients. Our primary outcome was an OKS-related event (injury or fall) and informed an a priori power analysis. Point estimate of association magnitude was calculated as an odds ratio (OR) for statistically and clinically significant associations. RESULTS: There were 118 (88%) patients eligible for analysis; fourteen enrolled patients did not use OKS, and two withdrew. The prevalence of patient falls was 37% (44/118), and the prevalence of patient injury was 15% (18/118). Four percent of patients would not recommend OKS and 8% would not use an OKS again. Sedentary lifestyle increased risk (OR = 4.67, 1.52-14.35 95 CI) for OKS-related injury. CONCLUSIONS: Despite a high prevalence of patient falls (37%), there is a low prevalence of injury (15%) and a favorable perception of OKS safety. Sedentary lifestyles may be a risk factor for OKS-related injury and should be considered in the development of a risk model.
