Knee reinjury after ACL reconstruction is common and increases the risk of osteoarthritis. There sparse evidence to guide return sport (RTS) decisions in this population.To assess relationship between knee (1) level I sports, (2) timing RTS (3) function prior return.106 patients who participated pivoting sports prospective 2-year cohort study. Sports participation were recorded monthly. was assessed with Outcome Survey-Activities Daily Living Scale, global rating scale function, quadriceps...
Deciding when to return sport after injury is complex and multifactorial-an exercise in risk management. Return decisions are made every day by clinicians, athletes coaches, ideally a collaborative way. The purpose of this consensus statement was present synthesise current evidence make recommendations for decision-making, clinical practice future research directions related returning sport. A half meeting held Bern, Switzerland, the First World Congress Sports Physical Therapy. 17 expert...
Study Design Prospective cohort study without a control group. Objectives Firstly, to present our 5-week progressive exercise therapy program in the early stage after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Secondly, evaluate changes knee function completion of for patients with ACL injury general and also when classified as potential copers or noncopers, and, finally, examine adverse events. Background Few studies concerning early-stage rehabilitation protocols exist. Consequently, little...
Background: Chronic posterolateral knee injuries often result in substantial patient morbidity and functional instability. The clinical stability outcomes following anatomic reconstructions patients with a chronic injury have not been determined, to our knowledge. Methods: A two-center study of sixty-four grade-3 instability was performed. were evaluated subjectively the modified Cincinnati International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective scores objectively IKDC objective score....
Background: Previous studies have found significant predictors for functional outcome after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction; however, examining in nonoperatively treated individuals are lacking. Hypothesis: Single-legged hop tests predict self-reported knee function (International Knee Documentation Committee [IKDC] 2000) ACL-injured 1 year baseline testing. Study Design: Cohort study (prognosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods: Ninety-one patients with an ACL injury were...
In October 2017, the International Olympic Committee hosted an international expert group of physiotherapists and orthopaedic surgeons who specialise in treating researching paediatric ACL injuries. Representatives from American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, European Paediatric Society, Traumatology, Knee Surgery & Arthroscopy, Arthroscopy Pediatric North America Sociedad Latinoamericana de Artroscopia, Rodilla y Deporte attended. Physiotherapists with clinical research experience...
A small number of randomized controlled trials have found ultrasound-guided injection platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to be no more effective than saline for several tendinopathies; limited information exists patellar tendinopathy. In addition, different PRP formulations that produce varying concentrations leukocytes not been directly compared tendinopathy.To determine if a single injection, either leukocyte-rich (LR-PRP) or leukocyte-poor (LP-PRP), was superior the treatment The null hypothesis...
Background: Patients usually return to pivoting sports between 6 months and 1 year after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, but no matched study has so far examined 1-year sport rates in nonoperatively operatively treated ACL-injured patients. Hypothesis: Anterior ligament-injured patients following a nonoperative treatment course, including recommendation of activity modification, will have lower than baseline testing/surgery, when by preinjury activity, age, sex. Study...
There is no agreement on how to classify, define or diagnose hip-related pain—a common cause of hip and groin pain in young middle-aged active adults. This complicates the work clinicians researchers. The International Hip-related Pain Research Network consensus group met November 2018 Zurich aiming make recommendations disease adults with as main symptom. Prior meeting we performed a scoping review electronic databases June determine definition, epidemiology diagnosis conditions presenting...

The increased risk of long-term osteoarthritis from concomitant injuries to the menisci or cartilage after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in adults is well established. In skeletally immature children, ACL reconstruction often recommended reduce new intra-articular injuries. However, prevalence and incidence nonoperative treatment children are unknown.To prospectively investigate joint nonoperatively treated, with a known by use bilateral 3.0-T MRI.Case series; Level evidence,...
Study Design Prospective cohort study. Objectives First, to classify a group of individuals with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient knee as potential copers or noncopers, based on established screening examination. Second, prospectively follow ACL injury and characterize the nonoperatively treated subjects true noncopers 1 year after injury, evaluate outcomes in operatively reconstruction. Finally, calculate predictive value examination 1-year follow-up tears nonoperatively....
Highly active anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)‐injured patients are usually recommended surgical treatment as the primary intervention. The objective of this study was to compare functional outcome in a cohort individuals after non‐operative at 1‐year follow‐up. One hundred and twenty‐five subjects with mean age 27.2 years (±8.6 years), participating level I or II activities were included. Baseline follow‐up examination included four single‐legged hop tests, IKDC 2000, KOS‐ADLS, KT‐1000 knee...
The methodological quality of studies on treatment anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in skeletally immature children after ACL injury is low, and no prospective have evaluated the functional outcomes following a non-operative algorithm.To report changes knee function activity level algorithm for minimum 2 years injury.Prospective cohort.46 aged 12 younger were at baseline subsequent yearly follow-ups using patient-reported outcome measurements, isokinetic muscle strength...
Treatment choices for skeletally immature patients sustaining anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have been controversial. The main dilemma is whether surgical treatment should be provided before reach skeletal maturity or nonoperative until the physis has closed. Surgical reconstruction risks physeal damage, while delaying surgery may increase menisci and cartilage damage.To identify at onset of ACL injury follow them longitudinally to final follow-up describe differences between...
The 1st International Hip-related Pain Research Network meeting discussed four prioritised themes concerning hip-related pain in young to middle-aged adults: (1) diagnosis and classification of pain; (2) patient-reported outcome measures for (3) measurement physical capacity (4) physiotherapist-led treatment pain. Thirty-eight expert researchers clinicians working the field attended meeting. This manuscript relates theme treatments A systematic review on efficacy interventions (published...
Background:Because a proximal hamstring avulsion results in residual loss of function, surgical repair is recommended. Few studies have investigated postoperative function with validated outcomes. Purpose:To examine lower extremity after avulsions using self-reported and performance-based functional Methods:Operative records from 2006 to 2010 were retrospectively reviewed 3 hospitals. A total 39 patients who had undergone identified, 36 met the inclusion criteria. Thirty-one completed...
Hip-related pain can significantly impact quality of life, function, work capacity, physical activity and family life. Standardised measurement methods capacity relevance to young middle-aged active adults with hip-related are currently not established. The aim this consensus paper was provide recommendations for clinical practice research on standardised in pain. Four areas importance were identified: (1) measures (range motion, muscle strength, functional impairments), (2) laboratory-based...
Background: There is no consensus regarding the best treatment approach for skeletally immature children with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. High-quality studies long-term follow-up are lacking, and evidence to support decision making limited. Purpose: To evaluate functional patient-reported outcome, surgical history, complications among young adults who sustained an ACL injury before age of 13 years were treated active rehabilitation option delayed reconstruction if needed....
