Meniscal Injuries Of Knee Research Articles

The applied study to improve the treatment of knee sports injuries in ultimate frisbee players based on personalized exercise prescription: a randomized controlled trial.

Ultimate frisbee can lead to severe sports injuries, especially joint injuries in the lower limbs, such as knee meniscus injuries. This study examines the impact of personalized exercise therapy on knee meniscus injuries in ultimate frisbee players in the Lingnan region of China. Seventy-six patients with confirmed meniscal injuries participated in the study, divided into an intervention group (n = 38) and a control group (n = 38). The control group received standard treatment, including drug therapy and physical therapy. The intervention group received standard treatment plus a personalized exercise regimen based on FITT-VP (frequency, intensity, time, type, volume, and progression) principles, incorporating strength training, aerobic exercise, flexibility training, neuromuscular training, and aquatic exercise. This program was monitored and adjusted over a six-month period through both online and offline methods. The primary outcomes were joint range of motion (ROM), thigh circumference atrophy index (TCAI), Lysholm Rating Scale (LRS) scores, and visual analog scores (VAS). The secondary outcome was the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score. Data were collected before the intervention, and at 1 month and 6 months after the intervention. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 24.0 and GraphPad 10.0, with a significance level set at α = 0.05. After 1 month, the intervention group showed significantly better results in ROM (116.67 ± 9.063), LRS score (86.316 ± 3.750), and IKDC score (80.473 ± 5.421) compared to the control group (111.784 ± 4.778, 82.579 ± 3.818, and 77.684 ± 4.430, respectively) (p < 0.05). The TCAI (3.219 ± 1.889) and VAS score (1.921 ± 0.673) in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group (5.228 ± 2.131 and 2.710 ± 1.112, respectively) (p < 0.01). After 6 months, the differences in LRS and VAS scores between the groups were not significant. However, the intervention group continued to show significant improvements in ROM (134.934 ± 3.011), TCAI (1.107 ± 1.158), and IKDC score (93.315 ± 1.847) compared to the control group (125.395 ± 18.554, 4.574 ± 1.109, and 87.789 ± 4.437, respectively) (p < 0.05). Personalized exercise prescriptions offer significant therapeutic and rehabilitative benefits for ultimate frisbee players with knee meniscus injuries. This approach helps to reduce symptoms, alleviate pain, and improve joint function, muscle strength, and athletic performance after sports-related injuries.

Keywords: McMurray test, meniscal tears, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, arthroscopy, accuracy.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Ultrasound in the Evaluation of Collateral Ligaments and Meniscal Injuries of Knee in Comparison with Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Background and Objective Though Magnetic resonance imaging MRI is the currant modality of choice in the imaging of knee ultrasound has a very significant role in the proper evaluation of knee. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound MSUS machines with high-frequency 12 - 15 MHz linear array transducers are used to evaluate superficial soft tissue structures such as muscle tendon ligament and bursa since they provide excellent image resolution. The ultrasound has higher spatial resolution than MR imaging and allow a better evaluation of the superficial structures. The capability of dynamic imaging and real-time comparison with the contralateral knee are added advantages. This study assessed the competence of ultrasound to detect ligament and meniscal injuries of the knee joint in comparison with MRI.Method Total of 110 patients were included. All the patients were evaluated by ultrasonography USG and MRI. The proportion of ligaments and meniscal injuries sensitivity specificity positive predictive value PPV negative predictive value NPV and accuracy of USG were calculated in comparison with MRI.Results In case of medial meniscus MM the sensitivity specificity PPV NPV and accuracy of USG were 83 96.5 86 95 and 93.6 respectively. In case of lateral meniscus LM the values were 77 97 77 97 and 94.5 respectively. In case of MCL the values were 100 99 50 100 and 99 respectively. In case of lateral collateral ligament LCL the values were 0 99 0 100 and 99 respectively.Conclusion The knee ligaments and meniscal injuries are more common in males than females and in young adults than old people. USG showed reasonably good sensitivity specificity NPV PPV and accuracy in detecting meniscal and medial collateral ligaments injury.

The Value of Ultrasound Diagnostic Imaging of Meniscal Knee Injuries Verified by Experimental and Arthroscopic Investigations.

(1) Introduction: Meniscal knee injuries may develop as the result of trauma or overloading. Ultrasound imaging is an observer-dependent modality, meaning that the assessment of structural damage depends on the investigator's experience.. None of the published papers provides a standardized method for ultrasound examination of knee menisci. The main goal of this study is to realize and standardize ultrasound imaging diagnostics of meniscal knee injuries based on individual features of ultrasound presentation and to evaluate the applicability of this modality in clinical practice. (2) Material and methods: This study consisted of two anatomical parts, including a clinical part that started with clinical examination of 50 patients with suspected meniscal knee injuries. After this we performed ultrasound examinations in patients with positive clinical test results, using sonographic confirmation for inclusion in the next stage. Finally, knee arthroscopy by two physicians in an operating room was performed, with procedures documented through photographs and video recordings, and analytic material obtained from patients in the control group documented similarly. (3) Results: In the clinical part of the study, arthroscopic examination revealed 13 longitudinal injuries (corresponding to 36% of all injuries in the group), 14 multidirectional injuries (corresponding to 28% of all injuries), 3 radial injuries (corresponding to 6% of all injuries), and 20 oblique injuries (corresponding to 40% of all injuries). The analysis of the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic test in terms of recognizing actual meniscal injuries on the basis of full-thickness or partial-thickness delamination, meniscal cyst oedema, and articular space stenosis revealed that the presence of at least two of these three characteristics was associated with the sensitivity of 88% and the specificity of 86% relative to the number of actual meniscal injuries as seen in arthroscopic examination. (4) Conclusions: Research results confirm that clinical examination combined with ultrasound imaging is a very efficient tool for evaluation of meniscal injuries.

Applications of Tissue Engineering in Meniscus Repair

Knee meniscus injury has a high incidence, which can change the load-bearing structure of the knee joint, causing pain and further cartilage damage and osteoarthritis and other related diseases, and is difficult to prevent and treat effectively. Therefore, how to treat meniscus injury has become one of the hot issues concerned by patients and medical staff in recent years. Compared with simple meniscectomy, tissue engineering meniscectomy has fewer adverse effects and some techniques have achieved satisfactory results. At present, the meniscus tissue engineering treatment method is continuously developing and innovating. In this paper, the promising techniques of collagen scaffold implantation, silk fibroin scaffold implantation, hydrogel implantation and bone marrow stimulation were discussed, we hope to provide the basis for the further development of meniscus repair.

Risk stratification by nomogram of deep learning radiomics based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in knee meniscus injury.

To construct and validate a nomogram model that integrated deep learning radiomic features based on multiparametric MRI and clinical features for risk stratification of meniscus injury. A total of 167 knee MR images were collected from two institutions. All patients were classified into two groups based on the MR diagnostic criteria proposed by Stoller et al. The automatic meniscus segmentation model was constructed through V-net. LASSO regression was performed to extract the optimal features correlated to risk stratification. A nomogram model was constructed by combining the Radscore and clinical features. The performance of the models was evaluated by ROC analysis and calibration curve. Subsequently, the model was simulated by junior doctors in order to test its practical application effect. The Dice similarity coefficients of automatic meniscus segmentation models were all over 0.8. Eight optimal features, identified by LASSO regression, were employed to calculate the Radscore. The combined model showed a better performance in both the training cohort (AUC = 0.90, 95%CI: 0.84-0.95) and the validation cohort (AUC = 0.84, 95%CI: 0.72-0.93). The calibration curve indicated a better accuracy of the combined model than either the Radscore or clinical model alone. The simulation results showed that the diagnostic accuracy of junior doctors increased from 74.9 to 86.2% after using the model. Deep learning V-net demonstrated great performance in automatic meniscus segmentation of the knee joint. It was reliable for stratifying the risk of meniscus injury of the knee by nomogram which integrated the Radscores and clinical features.

Visual Cascaded-Progressive Convolutional Neural Network (C-PCNN) for Diagnosis of Meniscus Injury.

The objective of this study is to develop a novel automatic convolutional neural network (CNN) that aids in the diagnosis of meniscus injury, while enabling the visualization of lesion characteristics. This will improve the accuracy and reduce diagnosis times. We presented a cascaded-progressive convolutional neural network (C-PCNN) method for diagnosing meniscus injuries using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A total of 1396 images collected in the hospital were used for training and testing. The method used for training and testing was 5-fold cross validation. Using intraoperative arthroscopic diagnosis and MRI diagnosis as criteria, the C-PCNN was evaluated based on accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, receiver operating characteristic (ROC), and evaluation performance. At the same time, the diagnostic accuracy of doctors with the assistance of cascade- progressive convolutional neural networks was evaluated. The diagnostic accuracy of a C-PCNN assistant with an attending doctor and chief doctor was compared to evaluate the clinical significance. C-PCNN showed 85.6% accuracy in diagnosing and identifying anterior horn injury, and 92% accuracy in diagnosing and identifying posterior horn injury. The average accuracy of C-PCNN was 89.8%, AUC = 0.86. The diagnosis accuracy of the attending physician with the aid of the C-PCNN was comparable to that of the chief physician. The C-PCNN-based MRI technique for diagnosing knee meniscus injuries has significant practical value in clinical practice. With a high rate of accuracy, clinical auxiliary physicians can increase the speed and accuracy of diagnosis and decrease the number of incorrect diagnoses.

Injury Incidence, Risk Factors, Prevalence and Rehabilitation of Injuries of Ankles in Professional Basketball Players

Basketball, as one of the most famous sports in the world, has resulted in numerous injuries to professional basketball players. The most common injuries during basketball games are tooth damage, knee meniscus injury, collateral ligament damage, lumbar disc herniation, triangle cartilage disc of the wrist damage, knuckle contus++ion, active and passive strain, and ankle injuries. Ligaments in the ankle are easily injured; the severity of the injury is determined by the angle of the ankle sprain and the extent of ligament damage. Inadequate preparation, injury histories, age, and so on can all be risk factors. When an ankle sprain occurs, people should treat it properly, such as the Ice treatment and the well-known protection, loading optimal, ice, compression and altitude treatment and etc. In the short run, ankle rehabilitation training can be an effective treatment when the ankle is sprained. If it has the ankle spraining performance, Coaches and athletes are more likely to take countermeasures aimed at reducing the risk of injury.

REABILITAÇÃO ESPORTIVA DE ATLETAS COM LESÃO MENISCAL BASEADA EM ELETROACUPUNTURA COMBINADA À TERAPIA ESPORTIVA

ABSTRACT Introduction: Meniscal injury is a common condition that can lead to disability due to pain and proprioceptive failure, requiring immediate attention. Combination therapies involve advanced approaches aiming to accelerate rehabilitation in athletes, and electroacupuncture presents therapeutic benefits, although there is still no evidence of its combination with sports therapy. Objective: This paper analyzes the performance of sports rehabilitation in athletes with meniscal lesions using electroacupuncture combined with sports therapy. Methods: The intervention in the control group was based on a traditional range of motion work, muscle strength, proprioceptive training, and other exercise therapies, while the experimental group received a 30 min electro-acupuncture protocol three times a week for four consecutive weeks. The surrogate data (gender, age, disease course, location) are the same. Before treatment, joint activity, muscle strength, total joint scale score of the LYSHOLM questionnaire, and other observational indices were measured during the 6th and 12th week of treatment. The non-parametric statistical method and T-test were used to analyze the changes of each index before and after treatment. After 12 weeks of treatment, the difference between the experimental group and the combination before treatment was significant. Results: The treatment effect of the experimental group was significantly better than the control group. Conclusion: The effect of sports rehabilitation of athletes with meniscus injury based on electroacupuncture combined with sports therapy showed high resolutive application value, indicating an alternative for non-surgical treatment in knee meniscus injuries. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

Effect of nanomaterial assisted comprehensive nursing on the recovery of patients with meniscus injury after knee arthroscopy

To explore the clinical effect of comprehensive nursing intervention on meniscus injury patients undergoing knee arthroscopy. Ninety-one patients with meniscus injuries were selected as research subjects from January 2019 to June 2021 and were divided into a control group (n = 45) and an observation group (n = 46). All patients received routine nursing intervention and wounds were treated with nano-silver antibacterial gel. The observation group received a comprehensive nursing intervention. Based on routine nursing, the rehabilitation effect of the two groups was compared. Meniscus pain, knee function, mental state, and postoperative complications of the two groups were analyzed. Before nursing, there were no significant differences in VAS score, knee joint function, and mental state between the two groups (P &gt;0.05). After comprehensive nursing, the Lysholm score and Tegner score of the observation group were higher than the control group, while the VAS score, SAS, and SDS score were lower than the control group (P &lt;0.05). After comprehensive nursing, the patient’s knee function recovery and the incidence of postoperative complications were significantly reduced. The patient satisfaction with nursing was higher and the overall nursing effect was better than the control group (P &gt;0.05). Comprehensive nursing applied in arthroscopic surgery for patients with knee meniscus injury had a good recovery effect and reduced pain.

Knee meniscus injury in children: meniscectomy or meniscus suturing (literature review)

Introduction. Sports popularization as well as better diagnostic options contribute to the relevance of the problem of knee meniscus injuries in children. Current trends in the management of meniscus injuries in Russia are between the choice – meniscectomy or meniscus suturing. There is a global tendency to reduce the number of performed meniscectomies because there has been proven correlation between this surgical intervention and osteoarthritis development.Material and methods. In the present review, the authors analyze outcomes after surgical treatment of knee meniscus injuries, which is still a controversial issue. They have selected sources published in PubMed, EMBASE, CyberLeninka, RSCI databases till September 15, 2022 (most of the articles published in 2017–2022). Keywords for the search were: meniscus suture, meniscectomy, children, osteoarthritis.Conclusion. Meniscus suturing is a more complicated procedure for both surgeons and patients, but it leads to better long-term clinical and radiological outcomes.

To Study the Role of MRI in Meniscal Injuries of Knee: A Cross Sectional Study

Background: MRI has clearly emerged as the primary imaging tool in the workup of knee joint pathology. MRI has made it possible to look into the injured knee non-invasively thereby avoiding invasive procedures and further morbidity. The main indication of MRI is in assessment of meniscal and ligament injuries. However it is useful in demonstrating other knee joint abnormalities involving articular cartilage, bone marrow, synovium, patellofemoral joint and adjacent soft tissue. MRI has been proven to be effective in defining the various knee structures and has proved to be an imaging modality in defining damage to these structures thus providing an aid in planning the treatment if needed. Aim: To study the role of MRI in meniscal injuries of knee. Material and methods: A cross sectional study was carried out among patients presenting with history of knee injury, who were referred to radiology department of Dr. Balasaheb Vikhe Patil Rural Medical College for MRI Knee. Patients giving consent to be included in the study, having no cardiac pacemakers, metallic implants in body and not claustrophobic were enrolled and studied. Thus such 30 cases were studied. Data was collected and complied in Microsoft excel and data was analysed using open epi version 2.3.1. Results: Mean age was 32.4+12.3 years. 65% were males and 35% were females. 64% had meniscal tear on MRI. Among them 70% had medial meniscal tear and 30% had lateral meniscal tear. Conclusion: MRI has been proven to be effective in defining the various knee structures such as ligaments, tendons, menisci, cartilage, musculature and the soft tissues and has proved to be an imaging modality in defining damage to these structures, thus providing an aid in planning the treatment if needed.

EXERCÍCIO FUNCIONAL EM PACIENTES APÓS LESÃO ESPORTIVA DE MENISCO

ABSTRACT Introduction Knee meniscus injury is a common sports injury, and minimally invasive surgery under knee arthroscopy has become an ideal method to treat meniscus injuries. This surgery rehabilitation has been improved, and several studies on the effects of functional exercise in the range of treatment are still inconclusive. Objective Study the functional exercise rehabilitation effects in patients after sports meniscus injury. Methods Twenty patients with meniscus-medial injury being operated on were selected, including eight men and 12 women. They were randomly divided into neuromuscular and strength training groups (11). Signs and symptoms were assessed before and eight weeks after treatment. JOA score indices and gait tests were compared. The impact of rehabilitation differences was evaluated in each group. Results Eight weeks after rehabilitation in both groups, the scores of the strength training group were higher than the neuromuscular group; the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P&lt;0.05). Conclusion Functional exercise accelerates joint recovery, reflected in increased strength of adjacent muscles. The muscle and joint training effects on postoperative meniscus injury are worthy of recognition. The baropodometry revealed distinctions in walking patterns between different rehabilitation methods. From the perspective of this research, rehabilitation methods combined with proprioceptive exercises are complementary. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies - Investigating the result.

The Efficacy of the Mulligan Concept to Treat Meniscal Pathology: A Systematic Review.

Meniscal pathologies are common knee injuries and arthroscopic surgery is the current accepted gold standard for treatment. However, there is evidence to support the use of the Mulligan Concept (MC) Mobilization with Movement (MWM) for meniscal pathologies including the 'Squeeze' technique, tibial internal rotation (IR), and tibial external rotation (ER). The purpose of this systematic review was to critically appraise the literature to investigate the effectiveness of MC MWMs for meniscal lesions on patient reported pain, function, and multi-dimensional health status in patients with clinically diagnosed meniscal pathologies. Systematic Review. A literature search was completed across multiple databases using combinations of the words "knee, function, mobilization with movement, MWM, mulligan concept, MC, meniscal pathology, meniscal derangement, and meniscal tear." Studies written within the prior 10 years that examined MC MWM techniques to treat knee meniscal injury were included. Articles that met the inclusion criteria (used MC MWM 'Squeeze' technique, tibial IR, or tibial ER for treatment of clinically diagnosed meniscal pathologies; Patient reported outcome [PRO] measures had to be used in the assessment of knee pain or function) were analyzed for quality. Randomized control trials were analyzed using the PEDro scale and the Downs & Black (D&B) checklist, case series were analyzed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist, and case reports were analyzed using the CARES checklist. Six articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in this review, two randomized controlled studies, two case series, and two case reports consisting of 72 subjects. All six papers included reports of improvements in pain and function that were either statistically significant or met the minimal clinically important difference (MCID). Five studies reported the Disablement in the Physically Active (DPA) scale that also demonstrated statistically significant differences or met the MCID. The MC MWM 'Squeeze' technique, tibial IR, or tibial ER demonstrated the ability to reduce pain, improve function, and improve patient perceived disability following treatment of a clinically diagnosed meniscal pathology. These studies demonstrated short term results lasting from one week to 21 weeks. Treatment interventions incorporating MC MWM techniques demonstrated reduction of pain and improvement in function in the short term in patients with clinically diagnosed meniscal pathologies. 2a.

Cefuroxime-induced Anaphylaxis: A Case Report

Cefuroxime auxetil is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that can cause immediate hypersensitivity reactions, ranging from mild urticaria to severe anaphylactic shock. Anaphylactic reactions typically involve multiple systems, notably the skin, the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Here, we report an unusual case presented with anaphylaxis secondary to IV cefuroxime administration with no history of any allergic reaction to date. There was no family history of allergic reactions. A 54 years old male was diagnosed witha left knee meniscal injury and so was posted for arthroscopy. He was given IV cefuroxime (ZOCEF) 1.5 gm intravenously preoperatively and the patient collapsed immediately. The patient developed chills with rigor, change in voice, profuse sweating, itching and rash all over the body, severe chest pain, difficulty in breathing, abdominal pain, vomiting, and drowsiness. The patient had hypotension with cold peripheral extremities. He was severely drowsy, and arousable only after deep stimuli. The patient was resuscitated successfully with IV fluids and steroids. This case shows that clinicians must be cautious while giving a drug in any form to apatient in OPD or IPD.

Accuracy of Mcmurry’s Test in Diagnosis Meniscal Tears

Introduction: Meniscal tears in knee joint are of utmost importance to be treated as these injuries not only hamper the quality of life but also lead to unrepeatable degenerative changes in the menisci which ultimately result in knee arthritis. Early diagnosis and treatment is necessary to avoid long term complications of these injuries. Certain clinical tests including McMurry’s test along with MRI knee joint aid in the diagnosis of these injuries but currently arthroscopic examination is the gold standard. Method: This prospective, cross-sectional was conducted in the department of Orthopedics, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar from Jan, 2020 to Dec, 2021, including 162 patients with suspected meniscal knee injuries. All the patient were evaluated by McMurry’s test followed by arthroscopy of the affected knee joint for diagnosis of meniscal tears. Result: Among 162 patients, 110 (67.90%) were males and 52 (32.10%) were females. The age ranged from 15 to 50 years. Most of the patients (105, 64.81%) were below 30 years of age. The mean age was 30.55±8.13 years. McMurray’s test was having sensitivity of 56.8% and specificity of 78.66% for medial meniscal tears while it had sensitivity of 67.70% and specificity of 86.33% for lateral meniscus tears. Conclusion: McMurray’s test is beneficial if used for the screening purpose for meniscal knee injuries. Keywords: arthroscopy, diagnostic accuracy, McMurray’s test, meniscus tear
