Abstract

The article discusses research which investigated femoral intercondylar notch morphometry in patients with first-time noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Topics explored include the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of participating ACL-injured patients, the outcome of the femoral notch measurement process, and the comparative analysis of femoral notch morphometry and ACL geometry.

2. Increased Slope of the Lateral Tibial Plateau Subchondral Bone Is Associated With Greater Risk of Noncontact ACL Injury in Females but Not in Males: A Prospective Cohort Study With a Nested, Matched Case-Control Analysis.

Abstract

The article discusses a study on 176 athletes that determined the association of higher posterior-inferior medial and lateral tibial plateau directed slope with higher risks for noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Obtained were magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of subjects and the characterization of subchondral bone part in tibial plateau, coronal tibial slope and medial tibial plateau depth. Results showed 21.7% higher risk in females of noncontact ACL injury than in males.

Abstract

The article reports a study which was conducted to determine whether high knee abduction moment (pKAM) is associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in female athletes. A clinic-based algorithm developed by Myer and colleagues was used in the study. The results show that the pKAM was not associated with noncontact ACL injury in injured athletes.

Abstract

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are immediately disabling, costly, take a significant amount of time to rehabilitate, and are associated with an increased risk of developing posttraumatic osteoarthritis of the knee. Specific multiplanar movement patterns of the lower extremity, such as those associated with the drop vertical jump (DVJ) test, have been shown to be associated with an increased risk of suffering noncontact ACL injuries. The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) has been developed as a tool that can be applied to identify individuals who display at-risk movement patterns during the DVJ.Hypothesis: An increase in LESS score is associated with an increased risk of noncontact ACL injury.Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3.Methods: Over a 3-year interval, 5047 high school and college participants performed preseason DVJ tests that were recorded using commercial video cameras. All participants were followed for ACL injury during their sports season, and video data from injured participants and matched controls were then assessed with the LESS. Conditional logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between LESS score and ACL injury risk in all participants as well as subgroups of female, male, high school, and college participants.Results: There was no relationship between the risk of suffering ACL injury and LESS score whether measured as a continuous or a categorical variable. This was the case for all participants combined (odds ratio, 1.04 per unit increase in LESS score; 95% confidence interval, 0.80-1.35) as well as within each subgroup (odds ratio range, 0.99-1.14).Conclusion: The LESS did not predict ACL injury in our cohort of high school and college athletes.
