Abstract

Introduction: Musculoskeletal injuries are a frequent occurrence in dancers of all skill levels, and the knee is the most common anatomical location. Our purpose was to identify the specific knee injuries encountered in a large cohort of dancers presenting to a tertiary-level dance injury clinic with knee pain. The relevant imaging findings of the identified knee injuries are highlighted. Methods: All new patients referred to the specialist dance injury clinic between March 2012 and February 2017 were entered into a database. Those with a knee-specific injury were selected with documentation of relevant demographic information. Clinic notes were analyzed for information related to a preceding acute traumatic event, and any relevant imaging was reviewed. This formed the basis for the review with Pubmed being utilized to identify relevant papers on the specific pathologies including etiology, imaging findings, and management. Results: Data from a cohort of 197 dancers presenting with a knee complaint were reviewed, composed of 144 women and 53 men with an average age of 28 years (range: 12–75 years). The most common knee complaint was anterior knee pain (n = 111) followed by medial-side knee pain (n = 42). The most frequent diagnoses included patellofemoral pain syndrome (n = 69), medial meniscal injury (n = 29), and Hoffa’s fat pad impingement (n = 13). Conclusion: An anatomy--based approach with regard to the site of pain can be useful in identifying any potential abnormality. Knowledge of the radiological appearances of the most frequently seen knee abnormalities in dancers will aid in prompt and correct diagnosis.
优秀舞者的膝关节疼痛:影像学研究综述
肌肉骨骼损伤是所有技能水平的舞者中经常发生的,膝盖是最常见的解剖位置。我们的目的是确定在三级舞蹈损伤诊所出现膝关节疼痛的大量舞者中遇到的特定膝关节损伤。相关的影像学结果确定的膝关节损伤被强调。方法:将2012年3月至2017年2月至专科舞蹈损伤门诊的所有新患者录入数据库。选择具有相关人口统计信息的膝关节特异性损伤患者。分析了与先前急性创伤事件相关的临床记录,并回顾了任何相关的影像学检查。这构成了本综述的基础,Pubmed被用来识别有关特定病理的相关论文,包括病因、影像学表现和治疗。结果:我们回顾了197名出现膝关节疾病的舞者的数据,其中144名女性和53名男性,平均年龄28岁(范围:12-75岁)。最常见的膝关节主诉是膝关节前部疼痛(n = 111),其次是膝关节内侧疼痛(n = 42)。最常见的诊断包括髌股疼痛综合征(n = 69)、内侧半月板损伤(n = 29)和Hoffa脂肪垫撞击(n = 13)。结论:以解剖学为基础的方法可以识别任何潜在的异常。了解舞者最常见的膝关节异常的影像学表现将有助于及时和正确的诊断。

期刊介绍: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery (JAJS) is committed to bring forth scientific manuscripts in the form of original research articles, current concept reviews, meta-analyses, case reports and letters to the editor. The focus of the Journal is to present wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary perspectives on the problems of the joints that are amenable with Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty. Though Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty entail surgical procedures, the Journal shall not restrict itself to these purely surgical procedures and will also encompass pharmacological, rehabilitative and physical measures that can prevent or postpone the execution of a surgical procedure. The Journal will also publish scientific research related to tissues other than joints that would ultimately have an effect on the joint function.
