Epidemiology of Acute Knee Injuries: A Prospective Hospital Investigation

Outcome of knee injuries in general practice: 1-year follow-up

“…Two studies reporting on knee injuries in emergency departments show similar percentages of abnormalities compared to the present results. 17,18 Cardol et al reported that 25% of their patients were referred to secondary care, compared with only 13% in the present study. 19 In the present study, GPs were aware of the fact that MRI was standard procedure and that injuries in need of immediate intervention (for example, fractures) would be noticed at the time of the MRI.…”

Dynamic Contact Mechanics of the Medial Meniscus as a Function of Radial Tear, Repair, and Partial Meniscectomy

“…Radial tears of the meniscus are not uncommon in young patients, and an understanding of their effect on contact mechanics is important to help define an appropriate surgical intervention and minimize long-term complications 11,12,25,[45][46][47] . The body-posterior horn junction of the medial meniscus is a common location for radial tears, accounting for an estimated 28% of all meniscal tears, particularly in the setting of anterior cruciate ligament deficiency 11,14 .…”

Influence of Menstrual Cycle on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in the Knee: A Systematic Review of the Literature

“…Porast nizkoenergijskih, večinoma nekontaktnih poškodb kolena je pogosto posledica tekmovalnega ali rekreativnega športnega udejstvovanja, medtem ko je izboljšanje varovalne opreme in prometne varnosti zmanjšalo visokoenergijske poškodbe dolgih kosti. Poškodbe kolena najpogosteje prizadenejo: meniskuse (23,,3/100.000 prebivalcev letno) (2-4), sprednjo križno vez (14,5/100.000 prebivalcev letno) (3,4) in notranjo stransko vez (4,5). Popoškodbene okvare kolena so največkrat kombinirane, saj poškodbo sprednje križne vezi v dveh tretjinah spremlja tudi poškodba meniska in kar v 80 % udarnina sklepnega hrustanca (6,7).…”
