  • In vivo investigation of ECRB tendons with microdialysis technique--no signs of inflammation but high amounts of glutamate in tennis elbow.
  • 2000
  • Ingår i: Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica. - : Medical Journals Sweden AB. - 0001-6470. ; 71:5, s. 475-479
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We used the microdialysis technique to study concentrations of substances in the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon in patients with tennis elbow. In 4 patients (mean age 41 years, 3 men) with a long duration of localized pain at the ECRB muscle origin, and in 4 controls (mean age 36 years, 2 men) with no history of elbow pain, a standard microdialysis catheter was inserted into the ECRB tendon under local anesthesia. The local concentrations of the neurotransmitter glutamate and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were recorded under resting conditions. Samplings were done every 15 minutes during a 2-hour period. We found higher mean concentrations of glutamate in ECRB tendons from patients with tennis elbow than in tendons from controls (215 vs. 69 micromoL/L, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the mean concentrations of PGE2 (74 vs. 86 pg/mL). In conclusion, in situ microdialysis can be used to study certain metabolic events in the ECRB tendon of the elbow. Our findings indicate involvement of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate, but no biochemical signs of inflammation (normal PGE2 levels) in ECRB tendons from patients with tennis elbow.

  • Neurokinin 1-receptors and sensory neuropeptides in tendon insertions at the medial and lateral epicondyles of the humerus. Studies on tennis elbow and medial epicondylalgia.
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: Journal of Orthopaedic Research. - 0736-0266. ; 22:2, s. 321-7
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • There is no information on the sensory innervation at the flexor muscle origin at the medial epicondyle of the humerus and it is not known if substance P receptors (Neurokinin 1-receptors, NK1-R) are present in tendon insertions in general. In the present investigation, we have studied the muscle origin in patients suffering from medial epicondylalgia and tennis elbow. Immunohistochemistry and antibodies to substance P (SP) and CGRP as well as the general nerve marker PGP 9.5 were used. Specific immunoreactions were observed in nerve bundles and as free nerve fibers. The immunoreactive structures were partly seen in association with some of the blood vessels. The observations constitute a morphological correlate for the occurrence of nerve mediated effects in this region. By using immunohistochemistry and antibodies to NK1-R, the distribution of this receptor was studied at the insertion of the proximal tendon of the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle at the lateral epicondyle. Specific immunoreactions were seen as varicose fibers occurring as single fibers or grouped into bundles, indicating that SP has effects in the nerves in this region. The results give further evidence for a possible neurogenic involvement in the pathophysiology of tennis elbow and in medial epicondylalgia.

  • Sclerosing injections and ultrasound-guided arthroscopicshaving for patellar tendinopathy : good clinical results and decreased tendon thickness after surgery-a medium-term follow-up study
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0942-2056 .- 1433-7347. ; 23:8, s. 2259-2268
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • PURPOSE: Treatment of patellar tendinopathy/jumper's knee with ultrasound-guided sclerosing injections or ultrasound-guided arthroscopic shaving has shown good clinical short-term results. Former studies indicate that the tendon thickness and structure stays unaffected after successful treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sonographic findings and clinical outcome 3-5 years after treatment of patellar tendinopathy with ultrasound-guided sclerosing injections or arthroscopic shaving.METHODS: Fifty-seven patellar tendons (43 patients) with chronic patellar tendinopathy were evaluated, with ultrasound, colour Doppler (CD) and visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain and satisfaction with treatment, 3-5 years after treatment. Functional status was evaluated with a single question-"Back in full loading activity?" yes or no.RESULTS: At endpoint (mean 46 months), there was a significant decrease in anteroposterior thickness of the proximal patellar tendon in patients treated with ultrasound-guided arthroscopic shaving but not after sclerosing injections. Tendon structure had improved, and CD local blood flow had diminished significantly in both groups. There were good clinical results with a significant decrease in VAS for pain after sclerosing injections (VAS 64 ± 18 → 17 ± 23) with 74 % satisfied patients and also after arthroscopic shaving (VAS 77 ± 16 → 13 ± 23) with 80 % satisfied patients. There were no significant differences in VAS between groups. A significant correlation between low local blood flow and high patient satisfaction was found.CONCLUSIONS: Tendon thickness decreased over time after ultrasound-guided arthroscopic shaving, and tendon structure and local blood flow decreased after both treatments. There were good, and similar, clinical results with both methods. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.

  • Anterior cruciate ligament injuries in young females playing soccer at senior levels.
  • 2002
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports. - : Wiley. - 0905-7188 .- 1600-0838. ; 12:2, s. 65-68
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The aim of this investigation was to study the consequences of anterior cruciate ligament injuries in female soccer players. Special interest was focused on young female soccer players (< 16 years) sustaining anterior cruciate ligament injuries when playing at a senior level, which means playing together with players 19 years or older. In Sweden, all players belonging to an organized soccer club are insured by the same insurance company, the Folksam Insurance Company. Data of all soccer-related knee injuries in females reported to the Folksam Insurance Company between 1994 and 1998 were collected. A questionnaire was sent to 978 females who were registered to have sustained a knee injury before the age of 20 years. The response rate was 79%. Three hundred and ninety-eight female soccer players who had sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury before the age of 19 years were analysed. Most of their anterior cruciate ligament injuries had been diagnosed using arthroscopy or magnetic resonance imaging (84%). Thirty-eight percent of the players had been injured before the age of 16 years. Of these, 39% were injured when playing in senior teams. When playing in senior teams 59% of the players below the age of 16 years and 44% of the players 16 years or older sustained their ACL injuries during contact situations. At the time of this investigation (2-7 years after the anterior cruciate ligament injury), altogether 78% (n = 311) reported that they had stopped playing soccer. The most common reason (80%) was symptoms from their anterior cruciate ligament-injured knee. It appears that many young female soccer players injure their anterior cruciate ligament when playing at a senior level. Therefore, we suggest that female soccer players under the age of 16 years should be allowed to participate only in practice sessions but not games at a senior level.

  • Balance board training : prevention of traumatic injuries of the lower extremities in female soccer players? A prospective randomized intervention study.
  • 2000
  • Ingår i: Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0942-2056 .- 1433-7347. ; 8:6, s. 356-363
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This prospective randomized intervention investigated whether training on a balance board could reduce the amount of traumatic injuries of the lower extremities in female soccer players. A total of 221 female soccer players from 13 different teams playing in the second and third Swedish divisions volunteered to participate in the study. Seven teams (n = 121) were randomized to an intervention group and six teams (n = 100) to a control group and were followed during one outdoor season (April-October). Before and after the season muscle flexibility and balance/postural sway of the lower extremities were measured in the players. There were no significant differences in age, height, weight, muscle flexibility and balance/postural sway of the lower extremities between the intervention and the control group. During the season the players in the intervention group performed a special training program consisting of 10-15 min of balance board training in addition to their standard soccer practice and games. After a 37% drop-out the intervention group consisted of 62 players and the control group of 78 players. The results showed no significant differences between the groups with respect either to the number, incidence, or type of traumatic injuries of the lower extremities. The incidence rate of "major" injuries was higher in the intervention group than in the control group. Four of five anterior cruciate ligament injuries occurred in the intervention group, which means that we could not prevent severe knee injuries in female soccer players with balance board training. However, among the players who had been injured during the 3-month period prior to this investigation there were significantly more players from the control group than from the intervention group who sustained new injuries during the study period.

  • Risk factors for leg injuries in female soccer players : a prospective investigation during one out-door season.
  • 2001
  • Ingår i: Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0942-2056 .- 1433-7347. ; 9:5, s. 313-321
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The following possible risk factors for leg injuries in female soccer players were studied: age, anatomical alignment, generalized joint laxity, thigh muscle torque, muscle flexibility, ligamentous laxity of the knee and ankle joints, recent injuries, and duration of soccer exposure. A total of 146 players from 13 teams in the second and third Swedish divisions underwent clinical examination, isokinetic measurements of quadriceps and hamstring torques, and testing of postural sway of the legs. All soccer-related leg injuries resulting in absence from at least one scheduled practice session or game were recorded during one outdoor season (April-October). In 50 players there were 61 traumatic injuries, and 17 players sustained 19 overuse injuries. The overall injury incidence rate (traumatic and overuse) was 5.49/1000 h of soccer. Variables significantly increasing the risk of traumatic leg injuries included generalized joint laxity, low postural sway of the legs, hyperextension of the knee joint, and a low hamstring-to-quadriceps ratio during concentric action. Multivariate logistic regression showed hyperextension of the knee joint, a low postural sway, reduced H/Q ratio during concentric action, and a higher exposure to soccer to significantly increase the risk of traumatic leg injury. All five players who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during the study period had a lower hamstring-to-quadriceps ratio during concentric action on the injured side than on their noninjured side.

  • Sclerosing injections to treat midportion Achilles tendinosis : a randomised controlled study evaluating two different concentrations of Polidocanol.
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy. - : Springer. - 0942-2056 .- 1433-7347. ; 16:9, s. 859-864
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Two to three ultrasound (US) and colour Doppler (CD)-guided injections of the sclerosing substance Polidocanol (5 mg/ml) have been demonstrated to give good clinical results in patients with chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy. This study aimed to investigate if a higher concentration of Polidocanol (10 mg/ml) would lead to a less number of treatments, and lower volumes, needed for good clinical results. Fifty-two consecutive Achilles tendons (48 patients, mean age 49.6 years) with chronic painful midportion Achilles tendinopathy, were randomised to treatment with Polidocanol 5 mg/ml (group A) or 10 mg/ml (group B). The patients and treating physician were blinded to the concentration of Polidocanol injected. All patients had structural tendon changes and neovascularisation in the Achilles midportion. Treatment was US + CD-guided injections targeting the region with neovascularisation (outside ventral tendon). A maximum of three treatments (6-8 weeks in between) were given before evaluation. Patients not satisfied after three treatments were given additional treatment with Polidocanol 10 mg/ml, up to five treatments. For evaluation, the patients recorded the severity of Achilles tendon pain during activity on a visual analogue scale (VAS), before and after treatment. Patient satisfaction with treatment was also assessed. At follow-up (mean 14 months) after three treatments, 18/26 patients in group A and 19/26 patients in group B were satisfied with the treatment and had a significantly reduced level of tendon pain (P < 0.05). After completion of the study, additional treatments with Polidocanol 10 mg/ml in the not satisfied patients resulted in 26/26 satisfied patients in both groups A and B. In summary, we found no significant differences in the number of satisfied patients, number of injections or volumes given, between patients treated with 5 or 10 mg/ml Polidocanol.

  • Sclerosing polidocanol injections or arthroscopic shaving to treat patellar tendinopathy/jumper's knee? : a randomised controlled study
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: British Journal of Sports Medicine. - : BMJ. - 0306-3674 .- 1473-0480. ; 45:5, s. 411-415
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: Proximal patellar tendinopathy/jumper's knee (PT/JK) is well known to be difficult to treat. Recent studies using an ultrasound and colour Doppler-based treatment approach on the dorsal side of the tendon, sclerosing polidocanol injections and ultrasound-guided arthroscopic shaving, have shown promising clinical results. OBJECTIVES: To compare the clinical effects after treatment with sclerosing polidocanol injections and arthroscopic shaving. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 52 patellar tendons (43 men and two women) with ultrasound and colour Doppler-verified diagnosis of PT/JK were randomly assigned to treatment with ultrasound and colour Doppler-guided sclerosing polidocanol injections (group A) or ultrasound and colour Doppler-guided arthroscopic shaving (group B). All patients were involved in patellar tendon loading sports or recreational activities, and had had a long duration of pain symptoms from the proximal patellar tendon. Pain during patellar tendon loading activity, and at rest, before and after treatment (visual analogue scale; VAS), and patient satisfaction with the result of the treatment, was registered. RESULTS: After treatment, the patients treated with arthroscopic shaving had a significantly lower VAS score at rest and during activity, and were significantly more satisfied compared with the patients in the sclerosing injection group. CONCLUSIONS: Both treatment with ultrasound and colour Doppler-guided sclerosing polidocanol injections and arthroscopic shaving showed good clinical results, but patients treated with arthroscopic shaving had less pain and were more satisfied with the treatment result. Because surgical treatment is a one-stage treatment return to sports was faster in this group.
