Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common among young athletes. Biomechanical studies have led to the development of training programs improve neuromuscular control and reduce ACL injury rates as well screening tools identify athletes at higher risk for injury. The purpose this study was evaluate cost-effectiveness these methods strategies preventing injuries. Methods: A decision-analysis model created three a population participating in organized sports: (1) no or...
Background: Considerable variability exists in the described clinical and radiographic indications for use, surgical techniques, postoperative management, risk profile after trochleoplasty management of patellofemoral instability (PFI). In areas uncertainty, a cohesive summary expert opinion identification variation current practice can be useful guiding future research efforts. Purpose: To assess rehabilitation practices, observed complication PFI among surgeons who perform this procedure....
Background: Management approaches and surgical techniques for patellofemoral instability (PFI) continue to lack clear clinical guidelines indications. Medial ligament reconstruction (MPFLR) is the most frequently used procedure; however, variation in technique remains significant, particularly skeletally immature patients. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was examine variations MPFLR patients as represented by 20 orthopaedic surgeons with different experience levels specialty...
Background: Radiological risk factors for an osteochondral fracture (OCF) associated with patellar instability are rarely studied, particularly in patients recurrent instability. Purpose: To identify specific radiological characteristics that relate to the increased prevalence of OCFs Study Design: Case-control study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: Patient data (n = 730) from Justifying Patellar Instability Treatment by Early Results (JUPITER) multicenter study were reviewed findings. Trochlear...
There is an epidemic of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in youth athletes. Poor neuromuscular control easily modifiable risk factor for ACL injury, and can be screened by observing dynamic knee valgus on landing a drop vertical jump test. This study aims to validate simple, clinically useful population-based screening test identify at-risk athletes prior participation organized sports. We hypothesized that both physicians allied health professionals would accurate subjectively...
Objectives: A variety of surgical options exist to treat the challenging problem recurrent patellar instability in children and adolescents. The goal current study is describe a novel combined reconstruction technique both medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) quadriceps tendon-femoral (MQTFL) report patient outcomes single-surgeon series. Methods: All patients studied underwent simultaneous MPFL MQTFL for using gracilis allograft. Demographic, clinical, radiographic data were collected....
Increased posterior tibial slope (PTS) is a risk factor for knee pathology. Accurate measurement of PTS predicated on quality lateral radiograph; however, little known about how the radiograph affects measured PTS.To (1) describe method measuring malalignment radiographs, (2) assess effects malpositioning radiographic measures malalignment, and (3) determine any correlations between PTS.Descriptive laboratory study.Using setup similar to that standard radiology suite, 25 sets radiographs...
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have been recognized and treated with increasing frequency in children adolescents. ACL reconstruction (ACLR) skeletally immature patients has unique considerations there is a large practice variation the management of these injuries. The purpose this study was to survey members Pediatric Research Sports Medicine (PRiSM) Society regarding their experience complications pediatric injuries.A 15-question distributed 71 orthopaedic group.Regarding...
Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is an increasingly utilized surgical option for recurrent patellar instability. Recent studies have highlighted the potential benefits of accelerated functional rehabilitation; however, no validated MPFL rehabilitation guidelines currently exist.To assess variability protocols published online by academic orthopaedic programs.Online from U.S. teaching programs were reviewed. A comprehensive scoring rubric was developed to each protocol...
Ice hockey is a high-speed contact sport in which athletes are prone to many different injuries. While past studies have examined overall injury rates ice hockey, foot and ankle injuries among collegiate players yet be analyzed.The purpose of this study was elucidate the epidemiology utilizing data from National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Injury Surveillance Program. We hypothesized that male would sustain more compared with female sustained severe.Descriptive study.Data on all...
