Young athletes at greater risk for re-injury after ACL Surgery

Posted on by

Las Vegas, NV - One in three young athletes who undergo ACL surgery experiences re-injury, according to research presented today at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine's (AOSSM) Specialty Day. The study examined the long term success of surgery for patients aged 18 years and younger.

"We examined survey data from 242 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction between 1993 and 1998," noted lead author Justin P. Roe, MBBS, FRACS, from North Sydney Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre. "Of this group, 75, or 31% sustained a further injury after at least 15 years."

The study group consisted of 104 females and 138 males at a mean age of 16 years. A total of 168 (69%) reported returning to their pre-injury level of activity following surgery.

"Our study shows that young knees are more prone to re-injury than the adult population when compared to other research in this area - and is the first study to examine the incidence and risk factors for further ACL injury in a solely juvenile population over the long term," commented Roe. "While surgery still may be the best option for many ACL injuries, it brings to light the important factors physicians must consider when treating the younger population."

Rugby or soccer was reported as the sport of choice for 48% of the injured athletes participating in the study.

Pain injections for hip arthroscopy patients may not predict surgical outcomes

Posted on by

Las Vegas, NV - How best to treat and recover from complicated hip injuries is a growing field in orthopaedic medicine. While diagnostic hip injections are commonly performed for patients with labral tear to confirm the pain etiology, research presented today at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine's (AOSSM) Specialty Day suggests that pain relief from this diagnostic injection may not predict better outcomes following arthroscopic hip surgery.

"Our study looked to assess if the amount of pain relief from a preoperative diagnostic intra-articular (IA) injection correlated with patient outcomes following surgery of an individual with femoracetabular impingement (FAI). However, our data indicated that the amount of pain relief from an IA injection is a poor predictor of short-term positive outcomes at our institution," said lead author, Aaron Krych, MD of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

Krych and his team analyzed records of patients who were undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAI from 2007-2012. Pre-operative radiographs were reviewed along with degree of osteoarthritis. Ninety-six patients met the study's inclusion criteria, including 71 females and 25 males with an average age of 37.5 years that were followed prospectively. There was no significant difference in the outcome scores for individuals with greater than 50 percent pain relief compared to patients that had less than 50 percent pain relief on preoperative diagnostic injection. Even with an adjustment for chondral degeneration and arthritis, the difference in pain relief and outcomes was minimal.

"Looking at different ways to treat hip pain and improve patient selection for surgery is a critical part of orthopaedic medicine. Even though our study did not show any significant improvements in outcomes, it does highlight the need for future investigations of what might be increase success," said Krych. "While there are no current absolute indications for FAI surgery, we believe that careful evaluation of the patient and correlation of presenting symptoms, physical examination, and imaging findings are the most important factors in considering patients for surgery."
