“…Noncontact injuries account for 70-84% of all ACL injuries. Biomechanical studies have confirmed that ACL can limit excessive forward movement and internal rotation of the tibia and stabilize the flexion, extension, and rotation of the knee joint [19]. Therefore, if the knee joint activity exceeds the normal range of motion, ACL may be injured.…”

Objective. To explore the effect of nursing in operating room combined with intraoperative heat preservation intervention on preventing incision infection and improving hemodynamics in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction under knee arthroscopy. Methods. About 200 patients with knee arthroscopic ACL reconstruction in our hospital from January 2019 to July 2021 were enrolled. The patients were randomly assigned into two groups: the control group and the study group. The former group received nursing care in the operating room operating room and the latter group received nursing care in operating room combined with intraoperative heat preservation intervention. Nursing satisfaction, incidence of incision infection, knee joint VAS score, knee joint range of motion, knee joint Lysholm score, and hemodynamic indexes were compared. Results. First of all, we compared the nursing satisfaction, the study group was very satisfied in 78 cases, satisfactory in 20 cases, and general in 2 cases, and the satisfaction rate was 100.00%, while in the control group, 445 cases were very satisfied, 20 cases were satisfied, 15 cases were general, and 8 cases were dissatisfied. The satisfaction rate was 82.00%. The nursing satisfaction of the study group was higher compared to the control group ( P < 0.05 ). Secondly, we compared the incidence of incision infection. The incidence of incision infection in the study group was lower compared to the control group ( P < 0.05 ). With regard to the knee joint VAS score, the knee joint VAS score of the study group was lower compared to the control group at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after operation ( P < 0.05 ). In terms of the range of motion of the knee joint, the range of motion of the knee joint in the study group was higher compared to the control group at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after operation ( P < 0.05 ). Regarding the knee joint Lysholm score, the knee joint Lysholm score of the study group was higher compared to the control group at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after operation ( P < 0.05 ). Finally, we compared the hemodynamic indexes. Before nursing, there exhibited no significant difference ( P > 0.05 ). During and after nursing, the indexes of HR and MAP in the study group fluctuated little ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. During the perioperative period of patients with ACL injury and reconstruction under knee arthroscopy, standardized and necessary operating room combined with intraoperative thermal insulation intervention measures should be given, attention should be paid to the management of operating room, and intraoperative thermal insulation intervention should be strengthened. It includes preoperative visit, psychological nursing of patients, strict application of antibiotics before operation, monitoring of air quality in operating room, disinfection and sterilization of surgical instruments, shortening operation time, maintaining body temperature during operation, and paying attention to hand hygiene of medical staff. It plays a supervisory role in promoting the attention of medical staff to the prevention of wound infection, which is beneficial to the healing of surgical wounds of patients. It plays a positive role in enhancing hemodynamic indexes. Comprehensive nursing intervention on the risk factors of each link can effectively prevent postoperative wound infection and strengthen the prognosis and quality of life of patients.

“…Injury control involves the prevention, acute care, and rehabilitation phases of healthcare [6]. When considering aspects of knee movement and health, clinicians make side-toside comparisons of knee characteristics (e.g., right/left, dominant/nondominant) [7,8]. The reasoning for a right/left or dominant/nondominant side-to-side comparison should be considered carefully because one can yield different findings to the other [9] and because limb dominance changes according to the nature of the task (e.g., muscle strength vs. skill) [10].…”

Work is needed to better understand the control of knee movement and knee health. Specifically, work is needed to further understand knee muscle force control variability and complexity and how it is organized on both sides of the body. The purpose of this study was to explore side-to-side comparisons of magnitude- and complexity-based measures of knee muscle force control to support future interpretations of complexity-based analyses and clinical reasoning in knee injury control. Participants (male/female n = 11/5) performed constant-force isometric efforts at 50% maximal effort. Force variability was quantified during the constant-force efforts using a coefficient of variation (CV%) and force complexity using approximate entropy (ApEn) and detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) α. Outcomes were right/left and dominant/nondominant group-level and individual-level comparisons. A limb-symmetry index was calculated for each variable and clinically significant absolute asymmetry was defined (>15%). The only significant side-to-side difference was for right/left DFA α (p = 0.00; d = 1.12). Maximum absolute asymmetries were (right/left, dominant/nondominant): CV 18.2%, 18.0%; ApEn 34.5%, 32.3%; DFA α 4.9%, 5.0%. Different side-to-side comparisons yield different findings. Consideration for how side-to-side comparisons are performed (right/left, dominant/nondominant) is required. Because a significant difference existed for complexity but not variability, this indicates that both complexity-based and magnitude-based measures should be used when studying knee muscle force control.

“…In knee injury prevention, the specificity principle of assessment can also be considered relative to the mechanism of noncontact knee injuries (Figure 1; modified from (30)). The direction of knee joint motion during noncontact knee injury can be identified from video analyses of realworld injury events (Figure 1).…”
