Common injuries in athletes' knee: experience of a specialized center
The complete ACL rupture was the most common injury found in football, basketball and volleyball players, followed by meniscal injury in street runners.
Got knee pain? Here's how to strengthen your knees.
Strengthening this important joint in each leg is essential, not only for injured athletes who need rehabilitation to get back on the field or court, but for everyone else to be able to comfortably go about our daily lives without needing crutches or other walking aids.
Medial Meniscus Root Tears: Management With Single-Tunnel Repair and Meniscus Centralization
Meniscus root tears (MRTs) are radial tears located near the anterior or posterior meniscotibial attachment, which are often underdiagnosed and associated with accelerated knee osteoarthritis (OA). Medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs), frequently observed in middle-aged women, lead to altered knee biomechanics and joint degeneration if untreated. While historically managed with meniscectomy, the modern approach emphasizes arthroscopic repair to restore joint stability and delay OA progression.
Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients Under 30 Years Who Have Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: Mean Follow-Up of More than 120 Months
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) primarily affects young adults, leading to femoral head collapse and secondary osteoarthritis. Treatments include joint-preserving surgery, which has been performed preferentially, especially for young adults, and joint arthroplasty, i.e., total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although advancements in implant materials have markedly improved performance, there are few data regarding implant survival and clinical outcomes in younger patients. This study aimed to assess long-term implant survival of more than 120 months and clinical outcomes in young ONFH patients undergoing primary THA.
What Matters Most for Patient Satisfaction Following Total Knee Arthroplasty? A Prospective Institutional Assessment of Individual Questions Captured by KOOS and VR-12 Mental Composite Score
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are crucial in evaluating the success of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to determine the individual significance of each question of the Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and the Veterans RAND 12 (VR-12) Mental Composite Score (MCS) in achieving a Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS).
