“…Treatment strategies were assessed, including conservative and surgical approaches. All tools or instruments implemented to measure the patient's self‐reported health status, functional level or quality of life, either general, disease‐specific, or joint‐specific, were considered patient‐reported outcomes for this study [16]. RTS‐T was defined as the interval between the intervention and patients’ return to play without restriction in at least one practice or game [11].…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to compare the patient‐reported outcomes and return to sports of the conservative and surgical treatment of distal hamstring tendon injuries.MethodsFollowing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses guidelines, two reviewers searched PubMed, Scopus and Virtual Health Library databases in January 2023. Clinical studies evaluating conservative or surgical management outcomes of distal hamstring tendon injuries were considered eligible for this systematic review if predefined criteria were fulfilled: (1) published in English or Spanish; (2) evaluated any of the following: patient‐reported outcomes, return‐to‐sports rate (RTS‐R) or return‐to‐sports time (RTS‐T). Data were presented in tables using absolute values from individual studies and derived pooled percentages.ResultsEighteen studies were included for 67 patients and 68 distal hamstring tendon injuries. Initially, 39 patients (58.2%) underwent surgical treatment, whereas 28 (41.8%) were treated conservatively. Among conservative treatment patients, 15 failed and had to be operated on (53.6%), all with distal semitendinosus tendon injuries. Anchor fixation was the technique of choice in 20 lesions (36.4%), tenodesis in 16 (29.1%), tenectomy in 14 (25.5%) and sutures were preferred in five (9%). Thirteen out of 28 patients (46.4%) undergoing initial conservative treatment returned to sports at a mean of 3.6 months (range 1 week to 12 months), in contrast to surgical treatment, in which 36 out of 39 patients (92.3%) returned at a mean of 4.2 months (range 6 weeks to 12 months). Additionally, 14 of 15 patients (93.3%) converted to surgical treatment after failed conservative treatment returned to sports at a mean of 7.6 months after injury.ConclusionInitial surgical treatment of distal hamstring tendon injuries yields a high RTS‐R (92.3%) at a mean of 4.2 months. Furthermore, 15 out of 28 patients (53.6%) initially treated conservatively had to be operated on, delaying the RTS‐T (mean 7.6 months after injury) without affecting their RTS‐R.Level of EvidenceIV.

“…Many of the previous studies focused on objective outcome assessment and patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs), which have become widespread in sports medicine research [4, 6, 8, 45]. They are patient‐reported questionnaires administered to patients and allow the evaluation of specific pathologies or body regions [11]. It is recommended that specifically designed PROMs should be used in children and adolescent populations [7, 14], and the pediatric version of the International Knee Documentation Committee Questionnaire (Pedi‐IKDC) is currently one of the most widely validated and reliable scores [13, 15, 17, 24, 42].…”

Purpose The increasing incidence of knee injuries among children is well known by sports physicians. Papers dealing with this topic have often collected patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) in a retrospective manner; this limitation could lead to a misinterpretation of the results, because pediatric patients might not remember their preoperative conditions adequately. This study aims to evaluate the reliability and the reproducibility of the IKDC pediatric score when administered retrospectively at a 12-month follow-up. Methods From September 2018 and June 2019, all patients aged 7-18 scheduled for surgery due to diferent knee pathologies in a single center were considered eligible. Parents were contacted by phone for consent. An open-source platform was implemented to collect the responses: two surveys were created (Q1, Q2). They included general information and the Pedi-IKDC score. Q1 was completed prospectively, while Q2 was completed 12 months after surgery. The two questionnaires were identical, and patients were carefully advised to complete Q2 recalling their health status before surgery. ICC and the concordance correlation coeicient (ρ c ) were used to assess the reproducibility between the prospective and recalled scores. Results Sixty-six patients responded to Q1 and Q2, and the mean age was 12.9 ± 2.2 years at Q1 and 14.1 ± 2.2 years at Q2. The mean time between Q1 and Q2 was 14.1 ± 2.1 months. Between prospective-IKDC and recall-IKDC, the ICC coeicient was "poor" at 0.32 (CI 0.09 to 0.5) and the ρ c was "poor" at 0.4 (CI 0.29 to 0.51). Mean prospective-IKDC was 76.8 ± 23.52 mean recalled-IKDC was 60.4 ± 11.5 (P < 0.0001), while mean diference was -16.3 ± 2.09. Simple linear regression models showed that Δ-IKDC is independently associated with age at Q1 (R 2 = 0.2676; P0.0001) and prospective-IKDC (R 2 = 0.653; P < 0.0001). Conclusions Retrospective collection of the Pedi-IKDC score is not reliable and has high recall bias. This should be avoided in children with knee conditions. Level of evidence III.
