Abstract:
Introduction: Ligament injuries around the knee joint and knee dislocations are rare but potentially complex injuries associated with high-energy trauma. Concomitant neurovascular injuries further affect their long-term clinical outcomes. In contrast to isolated ligamentous knee injuries, epidemiologic data and knowledge on predicting knee injuries in severely injured patients is still limited. Methods: The TraumaRegister DGU® (TR-DGU) was queried (01/2009–12/2016). Inclusion criteria for selection from the database: maximum abbreviated injury severity ≥ 3 points (MAIS 3+). Participating countries: Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The two main groups included a “control” and a “knee injury” group. The injury severity score (ISS) and new ISS (NISS) were used for injury severity classification, and the abbreviated injury scale (AIS) was used to classify the severity of the knee injury. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate various risk factors for knee injuries. Results: The study cohort included 139,462 severely injured trauma patients. We identified 4411 individuals (3.2%) with a ligament injury around the knee joint (“knee injury” group) and 1153 patients with a knee dislocation (0.8%). The risk for associated injuries of the peroneal nerve and popliteal artery were significantly increased in dislocated knees when compared to controls (peroneal nerve from 0.4% to 6.7%, popliteal artery from 0.3% to 6.9%, respectively). Among the predictors for knee injuries were specific mechanisms of injury: e.g., pedestrian struck (Odds ratio [OR] 3.2, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.69–3.74 p ≤ 0.001), motorcycle (OR 3.0, 95% CI: 2.58–3.48, p ≤ 0.001), and motor vehicle accidents (OR 2.2, 95% CI: 1.86–2.51, p ≤ 0.001) and associated skeletal injuries, e.g., patella (OR 2.3, 95% CI: 1.99–2.62, p ≤ 0.001), tibia (OR 1.9, 95% CI: 1.75–2.05, p ≤ 0.001), and femur (OR 1.8, 95% CI: 1.64–1.89, p ≤ 0.001), but neither male sex nor general injury severity (ISS). Conclusion: Ligament injuries and knee dislocations are associated with high-risk mechanisms and concomitant skeletal injuries of the lower extremity, but are not predicted by general injury severity or sex. Despite comparable ISS, knee injuries prolong the hospital length of stay. Delayed or missed diagnosis of knee injuries can be prevented by comprehensive clinical evaluation after fracture fixation and a high index of suspicion is advised, especially in the presence of the above mentioned risk factors.

Abstract:
AbstractThe multiple ligament injured knee (knee dislocation) is, often times, part of a multisystem injury complex that can include not only injuries to knee ligaments but also to blood vessels, skin, nerves, bones (fractures), head injuries, and other organ system trauma. These additional injuries can affect surgical timing for knee ligament reconstruction and also affect the results of the treatment. This article will present the author's approach and experience in the initial assessment and treatment of the acute multiple ligament injured (dislocated) knee, and also present considerations in the treatment of chronic multiple ligament injured knee.

Abstract:
AbstractMultiple ligament knee injuries are complex and can result from sports injuries or high energy trauma. The proper diagnosis and treatment of multiple ligament knee injuries are essential, and careful evaluation and planning are required to achieve successful outcomes. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in the multiple ligament injured knee is complicated by several factors, necessitating additional technical considerations. Patient selection, surgical timing, graft selection, and surgical technique require consideration specific to the ACL component of these injuries. We present a summary of the current knowledge with respect to the treatment of ACL injuries in the context of the multiple ligament injured knee.

Abstract:
Every year many people suffer from knee injuries. Previous studies on patients with knee injuries have shown that about 40% of knee injuries are Ligament injuries, and about 50% of the ligament injuries are the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries. Along with other methods, knee arthrometers are widely used to diagnose ACL injuries. In the current research, a knee arthrometer was designed and developed to provide a reliable and repeatable measurement of knee laxity under anterior–posterior applied loads. Test–retest configurations to examine repeatability of the device resulted in less than 1.5-mm difference for more than 97% of tests under applied loads of up to 90 N. These tests included 166 tests on the left knees and 147 tests on the right knees of 37 healthy subjects. Also, this device was tested on 27 confirmed ACL ruptured patients, and the results were analyzed to find a better criterion than standard criteria to diagnose ACL rupture using knee arthrometers by finding specificity and sensitivity of the device using those criteria. Among the 20 criteria evaluated, a combination of side-to-side difference under 150 N of applied load, and CI@90-60 (compliance index calculated between 90 N, and 60 N) resulted in the best sensitivity (96.4%) and specificity (100%).

Abstract:
Background: Musculoskeletal injuries of knee are commonly encountered in sportsmen during sports activities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for evaluation of traumatic knee injuries and arthroscopic interventions. By knowing the pattern and burden of surgically significant injuries in sportsmen, the artificial intelligence (AI) software may be developed accordingly so that surgically significant injuries may be identified by the young radiologists. Methods: It was a retrospective study on MRI for knee injuries in sportsmen. The digital data from Radiology department at a zonal level hospital was analysed. The MRI findings were correlated with the arthroscopic records available. For surgically insignificant injuries, the literature was referred for the typical MRI findings of the injuries. Results: Of 272 cases of MRI knee, 74.3% cases were detected to have acute traumatic injuries. Among various types of injuries found in this study, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear (55.9%) was the commonest injury followed by medial meniscal tear (40%). 40 (19.8%) cases were found to have surgically significant MRI findings which were subsequently corroborated with knee arthroscopy.Conclusions: Since majority of soft tissue injuries of knee constitute ACL and meniscal tears, the industries involved in developing AI software for soft tissue injuries of knee, should primarily focus on identification of ACL and meniscal injuries. The AI software may also be helpful for the young radiologists in early training days in MRI for knee injuries and may also help in big scale research projects of post traumatic MRI knees.

Abstract:
Background: Knee injuries are one of the most common sports injuries and may cause chronic functional impairment. During a study in emergency department approximately 50% of injuries are caused by sports activities, with majority of the cases comprising of knee soft tissue injuries. The most common modality to diagnose musculoskeletal injury is magnetic resonance imaging nowadays. Knee injuries are one of the most frequently overlooked injuries and cause long term functional impairment. MRI provides the most effective and comprehensive imaging assessment of the knee joint and adjacent structures. Objective: To determine the significance of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of contralateral uninjured knee in suspected meniscal/ACL injury of traumatic patients. Study Design: Prospective study. Settings: Radiology Department of Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center (JPMC), Karachi Pakistan. Duration: January 2018 to December 2021. Methods: Patients aged 18 years or older who presented with a unilateral traumatic knee injury requiring medical evaluation and treatment and who underwent MRI evaluations for both the injured knee (ipsilateral) and the contralateral knee (opposite side) as part of their medical assessment were included. After taking informed consent, all patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations of both their affected (ipsilateral) and non-affected (contralateral) knee joints. These MRI findings were subjected to rigorous statistical analysis, which included comparisons between the affected and non-affected knees. Self-made proforma was used for the data collection. Results: According to our inclusion criteria, we identified 45 patients to participate in the study. Amongst these 82% of the patients were male and 17% were females, ratio between the male and female is 4.6:1. Mean age of the participants was found to be 38.64±14.4 years. Upon analysis, 62.2% of the patients had meniscal injury associated with ACL/PCL damage. While MRI findings were compared with contralateral normal side and found meniscal injury in 17(37.8%) cases, followed ACL/PCL injury 7(15.6%) and ACL/PCL injury associated meniscal injury ± effusion 7(15.6%) was (p = 0.004). Conclusion: MRI has proven to be a valuable imaging modality for identifying ligament tears and meniscal injuries of the knee joint in patients suspected of having meniscal/ACL injuries due to trauma. It not only assists in diagnosis but also provides valuable insights into the complexity of knee trauma.

The knee Injuries in Women Soccer Players in South Africa The Knee is a common site for injuries in soccer players. The reasons for the increased rates of knee injuries in women soccer players are not clear, but some theories suggested the reason to lie in the difference in anatomy. This research investigate the prevalence of knee injuries in women soccer players in South Africa and sought to find out whether three of the anatomical factors (Q-angle, pelvic width and Intercondylar notch width) have a role in increasing knee injuries in these individuals. The study design was case –control study. Methodology: Twenty four players of South Africa women soccer team (Under 23) participated in this study. X-rays of the hip were taken and the Q-angles were thereafter measured manually. Association between anatomical factors and knee injuries were determined. The result of this study showed that 17% of the players were having non contact knee injuries. Statistical analysis showed no significant relation between knee injuries among women soccer players and each of the anatomical factors. The P-values of both t-test and ANOVA test were larger than the 0.05 level of significance. The study found that the prevalence of knee injuries among the young women playing for the South African national team U-23 was relatively high. However, this study could not identify significant relationship between the anatomical risk factors and the incidences of knee injuries among the participants.

Abstract:
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of three functional knee braces in stabilizing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficient knees. The subject sample consisted of eighteen males and females with a unilateral ACL deficiency.
The criterion variables consisted of the ability of each brace in controlling internal rotation and knee extension during active movement and knee extension during a high velocity activity (dynamic task). Total displacement of the knee brace during a running test was also evaluated.
The results of this study demonstrated significant differences between the efficacy of the three braces for control of knee extension during active movement, knee extension during a dynamic task and brace migration during a running task. There was no significant difference between the efficacy of the three braces in controlling internal rotation during active movement.

Abstract:
Numerous studies have demonstrated that ACL deficiency could lead to further meniscus tear and cartilage degeneration. The post-injury joint degeneration has been mainly attributed to altered joint kinematics caused by ACL deficiency. Therefore, understanding of the effect of ACL injuries on knee joint motion is critical for development of conservative treatment or surgical reconstruction of the ACL injured knees. However, few data have been reported on the influence of ACL deficiency on knee joint motion during gait [1,2] — the most commonly performed daily activities. The objective of this study was to determine the 6DOF kinematics of the knee after ACL injuries during gait on a treadmill and to compare the kinematics data to those measured from the intact contralateral side using a combined dual fluoroscopic imaging system (DFIS) and MR image technique [3,4]. We hypothesized that the 6DOF tibiofemoral kinematics of ACL-deficient knees would be altered even under low demand activities such as walking.

Abstract:
After the introduction of Title IX, a federal law prohibiting discrimination based on gender, the number of women involved in high school and collegiate level sports has significantly increased. Increasing the number of female athletes has a direct correlation with the amount of injuries experienced by these women. One of the most common injuries to female athletes is a sprain or a tear in the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) located in the knee. The ACL is one of the main components in the stabilization of the knee. A strain or tear to the ACL causes everyday life to be impacted significantly. ACL injuries are not only debilitating, but are expensive and have long term effects including arthritis. Women have an increased chance of injuring their ACL for three main reasons: anatomical, hormonal, and biomedical. Statistically, women have wider hips and weaker inner thigh muscles than men. Additionally, women experience changes in hormonal imbalance which contributes to their cyclic changes in ligament strength. Lastly, knees can experience a bio-medical condition known as valgus. The presence of extreme valgus typically indicates a high risk of future ACL injury due to the increased stress on the ligament. Due to these factors, this study involved designing three prophylactic braces to be used as part of a training program to help strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee.

Abstract:
Once thought to be a functionless, vestigial structure, the meniscus is known to be an important load bearing and shock-absorbing structure in the knee. The lateral meniscus absorbs 70% of the load in the lateral compartment and the medial meniscus absorbs 50% of the load in the medial compartment. In addition, it has a secondary role in stabilization of the knee in conjunction with the major ligamentous restraints. Vascular supply to the meniscus is provided by branches from the geniculate arteries that penetrate into approximately 10–30% of its periphery through permeniscal capillary channels (Figure I). The remainder of the meniscus obtains nutrition through diffusion or mechanical pumping.

Abstract:
Participation in sports, recreation, and exercise is progressively gaining more popularity in American culture and, along with it, the risk of acute and chronic injuries. People who injure a knee before the age of 22 have a greater than 3-fold risk of developing osteoarthritis (OA) in the injured joint by their mid 50s 5. Specifically, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscal injuries are strongly associated with the development of OA 4, a common and widespread musculoskeletal disease 1.

Abstract:
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) provides primary restraint to posterior tibial translation (1). Knee injuries involving only the PCL usually result in minimal disability, and are commonly treated non-surgically (2). However, combined injuries of the PCL and the posterior lateral structures (PLS) in the knee can result in considerable abnormal posterior laxity and posterolateral rotary instability leading to rapid cartilage degeneration (3). There is consensus that, in most cases, knees with this combined injury require surgical reconstruction.

Abstract:
Lower extremity injuries are a frequent outcome of automobile accidents (Fildes et al., 1997). These injuries can be a cause of permanent disability and impairment (States, 1986). Luchter and Walz (1995) found that the lower extremity was the most frequently injured body region, comprising 27.8% of the injuries in the 1993 National Accident Sampling System (NASS) database. Patella and femur fractures are the most frequent knee injuries.

Abstract:
Ligament injuries in the knee are a common cause of disability in the active population. The advent of arthroscopy and arthroscopic surgical techniques has changed our ability to diagnose and treat these injuries. Arthroscopy has become the gold standard for diagnosis of intra-articular ligament injuries, as well as meniscal and articular cartilage pathology. It combines optimal visualization and the ability to manipulate tissue under anesthesia to best understand the degree of ligament injury and knee instability. Arthroscopy has also evolved into the primary means for the surgical treatment of injuries to intra-articular ligaments, articular cartilage, and meniscus.
