Background Ankle sprain is a common injury in athletic populations that results significant time lost to injury. Hypothesis The incidence rates (IRs) of ankle ligament sprains are influenced by gender, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), physical conditioning, level competition, type sport, and athlete exposure sport. Study Design Cohort study; Level evidence, 2. Methods A longitudinal cohort study was performed determine the effect risk factors for at United States Military Academy...
Two previous studies have examined the association between an increased posterior tibial slope and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries as measured on plain radiographs. The study results were contradictory, with 1 reporting a statistical difference other showing no association.To determine if there is in angle patients history of noncontact ACL injury control group injury. A secondary objective was to examine differences male female subjects within each group.Case-control study; Level...
Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries, particularly sprains, are common in athletic populations and may result significant time lost to injury. However, surprisingly, little is known of the epidemiology this injury.To define incidence AC injuries determine risk factors for injury.Descriptive epidemiological study.A longitudinal cohort study was performed characteristics injury at United States Military Academy between 2005 2009. All suspected were reviewed by an independent orthopaedic...
Little is known of the long-term results acute arthroscopic Bankart repair for first-time traumatic anterior glenohumeral dislocations.Acute dislocations will provide good at follow-up.Case series; Level evidence, 4.The authors evaluated a cohort young patients who sustained and were acutely treated with using bioabsorbable tacks. Subjective outcome measures obtained mean follow-up 11.7 years (range, 9.1-13.9 years).Thirty-nine (40 shoulders) available original 49 shoulders (82%). Two 9 lost...
Relative to dislocations, glenohumeral subluxation events have received little attention in the literature, despite a high incidence young athletes. The pathoanatomy of first-time, traumatic, anterior has not been defined, our knowledge.As part prospective evaluation all cases shoulder instability sustained during one academic year closed cohort military academy cadets, total thirty-eight were documented. Clinical defined as incomplete that did require manual reduction maneuver. Twenty-seven...
Syndesmotic and medial ankle sprains constitute up to 15% of all in athletic populations can result significant time lost injury long-term disability.The objective this study was estimate the rate syndesmotic sprain injuries identify risk factors associated with these within physically active cadet population at United States Military Academy (USMA).Cohort study; Level evidence, 2.The Cadet Illness Injury Tracking System (CIITS) database USMA queried for between 2005 2009. Sex, level...
Background: While posterior glenohumeral instability is becoming increasingly common among young athletes, little known of the risk factors for injury. Purpose: To determine modifiable and nonmodifiable shoulder in a high-risk cohort. Study Design: Case-control study (prognosis); Level evidence, 2. Methods: A prospective cohort which 714 athletes were followed from June 2006 through May 2010 was conducted. Baseline testing included subjective history instability, by sports medicine...
Background: There is no consensus on the optimal method of stabilization (arthroscopic or open) in collision athletes with anterior shoulder instability. Purpose: To examine effect “subcritical” bone loss and football-specific exposure rate recurrent instability after arthroscopic an intercollegiate American football population. Study Design: Case-control study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: Fifty players underwent primary for returned to at least a single season. Preoperatively, 32 patients...
Although some studies have reported an increased incidence of patellar dislocations within active populations, few rates and examined risk factors for this injury.To examine the dislocation injuries influence demographic occupational associated with injury among active-duty United States (US) service members between 1998 2007.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.Using Defense Medical Surveillance System, a search was performed International Classification Disease, 9th Revision (ICD-9) code 836.3...
There is recent evidence that use of allograft tendons for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in young patients may result increased failure rates compared with autologous grafts.Allograft ACL will higher athletes autograft reconstruction.Cohort study; Level evidence, 2.A prospective cohort study cadets at the United States Military Academy (USMA) was performed to assess performance reconstructions before entrance service. Members classes 2007 through 2013 who had undergone...
Background: There is no consensus on the optimal treatment of in-season athletes with anterior shoulder instability, and limited data are available to guide return play. Purpose: To examine likelihood sport recurrence instability after an event based type (subluxation vs dislocation).
