Knee pain is one of the most common issues among young athletes. A medical history and physical examination are required to categorize the pain. Athletic knee injuries can be chronic or acute. Chronic knee pain is commonly secondary to inflammation of the apophysis of the patella or the tibial tuberosity. Repetitive microtrauma of the subchondral bone is another etiology of chronic pediatric knee pain. Acute knee pain typically is associated with a traumatic injury. Patella contact or dislocation can occur because of a noncontact traumatic event.

Press-Fit Bone-Anchored Prosthesis for Individuals with Transtibial Amputation.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech
May 2024
Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Background: This video article describes the use of bone-anchored prostheses for patients with transtibial amputations, most often resulting from trauma, infection, or dysvascular disease. Large studies have shown that about half of all patients with a socket-suspended artificial limb experience limited mobility and limited prosthesis use because of socket-related problems. These problems occur at the socket-residual limb interface as a result of a painful and unstable connection, leading to an asymmetrical gait and subsequent pelvic and back pain.

The purpose of this in brief article was to determine the current role of intraarticular injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment of painful KOA. It has been reported that the average duration of effectiveness (pain relief) of one injection of extended-release HA is around one year. Kellgren-Lawrence grade (I-II versus III-IV), male gender, and older age are associated with a longer duration of effectiveness.

January 2025
Academy of Medical Engineering and Translational Medicine, Tianjin University, Tianjin, 300072, China.
Background: Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent condition worldwide, significantly diminishing quality of life and productivity. Except for the alignment change, muscle activation patterns (MAP) have garnered increasing attention as another crucial factor contributing to KOA.
Objective: This study explores the factors, characteristics, and effects of MAP changes caused by KOA, providing a neuromuscular-based causal analysis for the rehabilitation treatment of KOA.
Current status and factors influencing kinesiophobia in patients with meniscus injury: a cross-sectional study.
J Orthop Surg Res
January 2025
The School of Health, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, China.
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationships between kinesiophobia and injury severity, balance ability, knee pain intensity, self-efficacy, and functional status in patients with meniscus injuries and to identify key predictors of kinesiophobia.
Design: A single-center, prospective cross-sectional study.
Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 123 patients diagnosed with meniscus injuries at Fujian Provincial Hospital was conducted.
A Comparison of 90-Day Complication Rates Between Intra-incisional and Extra-incisional Pin Sites in Robotic Total Knee Arthroplasty.
J Arthroplasty
January 2025
Adult Reconstruction and Joint Replacement, Hospital for Special Surgery, 535 E 70th Street, New York, NY, 10021.
Introduction: Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) platforms require tibial and femoral pins to support rigidly fixed navigation arrays. These pins can be placed inside or outside the primary incision. We sought to compare 90-day complication rates between three different pin configurations: all-outside, intra-incisional femur/extra-incisional tibia, and all-inside.
