Summary: Anterior knee pain (AKP) is a common condition among young active patients and is associated with multiple causative factors. It can increase the risk of patellofemoral osteoarthritis and has a negative impact on the patient's quality of life and healthcare costs. Comprehensive evaluation and individualized treatment strategies are crucial for managing AKP.

Summary: This study compared the effects of multidisciplinary prehabilitation and usual care on functional independence and activity limitations in patients undergoing total knee replacement surgery for osteoarthritis. The results showed that multidisciplinary prehabilitation did not improve short-term functional independence or reduce activity limitations in the midterm after surgery.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the clinical effectiveness of patella rim electro-cautery denervation versus no denervation in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A randomized controlled trial was conducted on patients aged 40 years or older, who were scheduled for TKA without patella resurfacing. The results showed no clinically relevant benefit from patella rim electrocautery in these patients.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the effects of compression using elastic bands on pain and physical function in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). A randomised controlled clinical trial will be conducted with 90 individuals with KOA, who will be allocated to three groups: compression, sham, and control. The primary outcomes will be pain intensity measured by Visual Analogue Scale and pain scale from Western Ontario & McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Secondary variables include physical function assessed by WOMAC questionnaire and physical tests, and perceived change evaluated by the Global Rating of Change Scale (GRC).

Summary: This study compared the cumulative morphine consumption in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty with different anesthesia methods. The results showed that periarticular local infiltration analgesia may be used as the primary option for multimodal postoperative pain management in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia.

Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated the clinical outcomes of using round or oval implants in patellar resurfacing during total knee arthroplasty. The results showed no significant difference in clinical outcomes between the two implant shapes. Longer-term studies are needed to assess the implications of patellar component design on clinical outcomes and function.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of preoperative patellar bone marrow lesions and patellar cartilage defects on postoperative anterior knee pain (AKP) after patellar non-resurfacing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The results showed that the presence of preoperative bone marrow lesions with full-thickness cartilage defects in the patella was associated with worse postoperative AKP. Therefore, patellar resurfacing should be considered in this patient group to minimize the risk of developing residual AKP.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the intra- and inter-rater agreement of a derived Caton-Deschamps index (dCDI) for knee arthroplasty. It was found that the dCDI is a reliable radiological measure for patella height in knee arthroplasty, with high levels of intra- and inter-rater agreement similar to other commonly used indices.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to quantify the patellofemoral force and stress during bodyweight wall squats and ball squats, as well as the influence of heel-to-wall-distance variations. The results showed that the bodyweight wall squat produced greater patellofemoral force and stress compared to the bodyweight ball squat during squat descent. Additionally, squatting with a shorter heel-to-wall-distance resulted in greater anterior knee displacement and increased patellofemoral force and stress.

Summary: In this study, the prevalence of anterior knee pain before and after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) was reported using a posterior-stabilized prosthesis with routine patellar resurfacing. It was found that preoperative anterior knee pain and worse self-reported function were associated with postoperative anterior knee pain.

Summary: This study aims to compare the efficacy of nurse-led volunteer support, technology-driven pain assessment, and the combination of both interventions in hospitalised older adults. Data will be collected to evaluate the impact of these interventions on patient outcomes. The findings of this study will contribute to improving the prognosis and quality of life of hospitalised older adults.

Summary: This study explores the policy and practice impact of International Olympic Committee (IOC) statements on athlete health and medical team management in two diverse countries. The study finds differences in the usefulness and accessibility of the IOC statements across resource settings. Although both countries have doubts about the purpose and audience of the IOC statements, they recognize the value of evidence-informed guidelines.

Summary: In this study, we compared the patellofemoral geometry between individuals with a youth-sport-related knee injury and uninjured individuals, and investigated the association between patellofemoral geometry and MRI-defined osteoarthritis features. The study found that injured individuals were more likely to have extremely large sulcus angle, shallow lateral trochlear inclination, and trochlear depth compared to uninjured individuals. Additionally, patellofemoral geometry was associated with cartilage lesions and other structural features. These findings could help identify individuals at higher risk and inform targeted treatment for preventing posttraumatic osteoarthritis.

Summary: Wireless accelerometers with different operating ranges have been used to measure tibial acceleration. The results show that low-range accelerometers produce distorted signals and inaccurate measurements of peaks. A restoration algorithm using spline interpolation has been proposed but has not been tested for higher magnitude peaks and resultant peaks.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated injury and concussion rates, risk factors, and prevention strategies in youth rugby. The study found that male match injury rates were 40.2/1000 match hours, while female rates were 69.0/1000 match hours. Concussion rates were 6.2/1000 player-hours for males and 33.9/1000 player-hours for females. The most common injury sites and types varied by gender. Higher levels of play and increasing age were identified as strong risk factors. The most promising prevention strategy was neuromuscular training.

Summary: The study examines the impact of participating in an adapted summer camp on family relationships for children and youth with disabilities. Through focus group discussions with 11 families, it was found that participation in adapted physical activities can lead to changes in perspectives, enhanced family bonds, and improved self-confidence and independence for children with disabilities. However, the suspension of programs due to COVID-19 resulted in frustration, worry, and strained family relationships.

Summary: This study examined the physical activity and body composition of ambulatory children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) compared to their typically developing peers. The results showed that individuals with CP had lower levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity and lower lean mass index. Further analysis revealed a positive association between lean mass index and physical activity, as well as reduced physical activity in individuals with CP at GMFCS II and III levels. These findings are important for promoting physical activity and improving muscle mass in individuals with CP.

Summary: Dance is a popular physical activity, but increased training can lead to higher risk of injury. Understanding how training load is measured in dance is crucial. This study summarizes published literature on training load monitoring in dance, finding that dance hours, heart rate, and portable metabolic systems are commonly used tools. More research is needed to determine the best tools and metrics for monitoring training load in dance.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of measurement errors in the projection matrix and FRFs on the uncertainty of power flow, using both numerical models and experimental data. The results show that closely spaced modes lead to high variability in the calculation of power flow near resonance, even for small measurement errors.
