- Objective:Hemarthrosis after knee trauma often indicates serious joint injury. Few studies have evaluated agreement between clinical examination and findings from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We aimed to describe the agreement between acute clinical examination and subacute MRI findings after acute knee trauma with hemarthrosis and the importance of the subspecialty of the examiner.Design:Longitudinal cohort study. Agreement with MRI findings was evaluated by logistic regression.Setting:Helsingborg hospital.Patients:Thousand one hundred forty-five consecutive patients with hemarthrosis after knee trauma.Interventions:Clinical examination and MRI.Main outcome measures:agreement between clinical examination and findings from MRI. We considered the radiologist's report as the gold standard.Results:Median time (25th, 75th percentile) from injury to clinical examination was 2 (1, 7) days, and from injury to imaging was 8 (5, 15) days. The overall sensitivity and specificity of clinical examination versus MRI for major ligament injury or lateral patella dislocation (LPD) were 70% [95% confidence interval 67-73) and 66% (61-72), respectively. Orthopedic subspecialist knee had the highest agreement with anterior cruciate ligament rupture (adjusted odds ratios were 1.7 (95% confidence interval 1.2-2.3), 1.9 (1.2-3.0) and 5.9 (3.7-9.5) for orthopedic trainees, orthopedic subspecialists other, and orthopedic subspecialist knee, respectively]. For other ligament injuries and LPD, we did not find statistically significant differences.Conclusions:Clinical diagnosis after acute knee injury is relatively unreliable versus MRI findings even when performed by orthopedic specialists. However, the agreement is improved when the examination is performed by an orthopedic knee subspecialist.

- Objective: To study sleep quality and sleep hygiene in professional athletes and an age-matched cohort. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Professional athletes and a sport medicine center. Participants: Professional rugby, netball and football athletes (n = 184) and attendees to a sport medicine center (n = 101). Interventions: Participants completed an online survey. Main Outcome Measures: Sleep Hygiene Index (SHI) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: Forty-five percent (n = 128) of respondents were aged between 18 and 24 years, 54% (n = 154) were men and 65% (n = 184) were professional athletes. The sleep duration of the professional athletes (mean rank 134.3, n = 181) was greater than the age-matched cohort (mean rank = 154.4, n = 101), U = 7835.0, z = -2.3, P = 0.02; however, they reported more sleep disturbance (mean ranking = 148.0, n = 181) than the age-matched cohort (mean rank = 129.8, n = 101), U = 7960.5 z = -2.5, P = 0.01, 2-tailed. Professional athletes had worse sleep regularity (mean rank = 152.3, n = 183) compared with the age-matched cohort (mean rank = 124.6, n = 101), U = 7448.5, z = -2.7, P = 0.006, 2-tailed, had an inferior sleep environment (mean rank = 149.5, n = 183) compared with the age-matched cohort (mean rank = 129.8, n = 101), U = 7959.5, z = -2.0, P = 0.047, and had more naps (mean rank = 156.2, n = 183) compared with the age-matched cohort (mean rank = 117.6, n = 101), U = 6729.0, z = -4.2, P = 0.00 0, 2-tailed. Conclusions: Professional athletes reported poorer sleep quality and sleep hygiene compared with an age-matched cohort, and difficulty falling asleep following competition. It is likely this is due to the stress of competition, training, and traveling. Because sleep plays an important role in postexercise recovery and has an impact on injury and athletic performance, it is important to have strategies to support better sleep quality and sleep hygiene in athletes.

- Previous studies involving injury surveillance in badminton players have used nonstandardized injury definitions and data collection methodologies. The purpose of this study was to apply a Delphi method to (1) reach a consensus on an injury definition in badminton and (2) develop a standardized badminton injury report form. An Injury Consensus Group was established under the auspices of the Badminton World Federation, and initial injury definitions and injury report form were developed. An internal panel was formed from the Injury Consensus Group, and an external panel was selected based on a combination of profession, experience in the field, sport-specific knowledge/expertise, and geographical location to obtain a widely representative sample. Through 2 rounds of voting by the external panel, consensus was reached on both the definition of an injury in badminton and a standardized injury report form. The agreed injury definition was “Any physical injury sustained by a player during a match or training regardless if further diagnostic tests were done or if playing time was lost” and the injury report form contained the following 7 sections: Injury record, Diagnosis, Injury mechanism, Regarding pain, Pain and return to play/training after injury, Grade of severity, and Recurrence. We recommend the use of the definitions and methods presented in this consensus statement for the reporting of injury in all international and domestic badminton players. This should make future injury surveillance reports directly comparable and hence more informative in recognizing trends over time and differences between countries.

Variation in Patient-Reported Outcomes in Young and Old Patients Up to 4 to 6 Years After Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy

- Objective: To assess the variation in changes in patient-reported outcomes 4 to 6 years after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM).Design:Prospective cohort study.Setting:Orthopedic departments at public hospitals.Patients:Patients (n = 447) from the Knee Arthroscopy Cohort Southern Denmark undergoing APM.Interventions:All patients underwent APM.Main Outcome Measures:Change in KOOS4scores from baseline before surgery to ∼5 years (range 4-6 years) after surgery. KOOS4is the average aggregated score of 4 of 5 of the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) excluding the activities of daily living subscale (minimal clinical important improvement ∼10 points). A mixed linear model adjusted for sex and body mass index was used to assess change from baseline to ∼5-year follow-up. Change in KOOS4was divided into 5 categories based on change from baseline to ∼5-year follow-up: <0 points, 0 to 9 points, 10 to 19 points, 20 to 29 points, and ≥30 points.Results:On average, patient-reported outcomes continued to improve from baseline to ∼5-year follow-up (mean KOOS4change: 26, 95% CI, 24-28). Proportions in the different response groups were <0 points (12%), 0 to 9 points (13%), 10 to 19 points (16%), 20 to 29 points (19%), and ≥30 points (40%), with no difference between younger (≤40 years, n = 75) and older (>40 years, n = 337) patients (P = 0.898).Conclusions:Patient-reported outcomes on average improved up to ∼5 years after APM; however, large variability was observed. The similar variability in younger and older patients questions the assumption that younger patients with traumatic injuries experience larger benefits from APM.
