概要: Changes in muscle activity were evaluated by positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET–CT) after performing part 2 of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association’s 11+ programme (11+) for 4 weeks. Eleven males performed part 2 of the 11+ for 20 min before and after 37 MBq of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) was injected intravenously. PET–CT images were obtained 50 min after FDG injection. The participants were then instructed to perform part 2 of the 11+ 3 times per week for 4 consecutive weeks, after which another set of PET–CT images was obtained following the same procedure. Regions of interest were defined within 30 muscles. The standardised uptake value (SUV) of FDG by muscle tissue per unit volume was calculated, and FDG accumulation was compared between pre- and post-training PET–CT results. Performing part 2 of the 11+ for 4 weeks increased mean SUV in the sartorius, semimembranosus, biceps femoris, abductor hallucis, and flexor hallucis brevis muscles (P < 0.05). In conclusion, routinely performing part 2 of the 11+ for 4 weeks increased glucose uptake related to muscle activity in the hamstrings and hallux muscles. We speculate that there is some possibility of this change of muscle activity contributing to a decrease in sports-related injuries. © 2016 Taylor & Francis<br />Embargo Period 18 months 続きを見る

概要: Background: This study aimed to present a new technique for anatomical single bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) re construction. We developed an original rounded rectangular dilator set to create rounded rectangular femoral tunnels. This technique can increase the femoral tunnel size without roof impingement, and has the potential to reduce the graft failure rate. We investigated the tunnel position and the incidence of intraoperative complications. Method: The presented technique is anatomical single bundle ACL reconstruction using a semitendinosus graft (with or without the gracilis tendon). The tunnel was drilled via an additional medial portal. Rounded rectangular tunnels were created using a special dilator. Tibial tunnels were created using conventional rounded tunnels. Fixation was achieved using a suspensory device on the femoral side and a plate and screw on the tibial side. Patients: Fifty patients underwent this surgery, and intraoperative complications were investigated. The femoral tunnel positions were documented postoperatively from computed tomography scans using the quadrant method. The tibial tunnel positions (anterior-to-posterior, medial-to-lateral) were documented using intraoperative X-ray scans. Results: Only one patient had a partial posterior tunnel wall blowout. The femoral tunnel length varied between 30 and 40 mm (mean, 34.9 ± 3.3 mm). All femoral and tibial tunnels were located within the area of the anatomical ACL insertions. Conclusion: We did not experience any serious intraoperative complications during anatomical single bundle ACL reconstruction using a rounded rectangle dilator, and the resulting locations of the femoral and tibial tunnels were within the anatomical ACL footprint.

概要: Background: The anterolateral ligament (ALL) functions as a stabilizer in the internal rotation of the knee. Previous st udies have reported the ALL can be identified using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, there are no reports on using ultrasonography (US) for this purpose. Real-time virtual sonography (RVS) uses magnetic navigation and computer software for the synchronized display of real-time US and multiplanar reconstruction MRI images. This study investigated the ability of using US with RVS to evaluate the ALL. Methods: Nine healthy subjects were enrolled. The Digital Imaging Communications in Medicine MRI dataset was loaded into the Hitachi Aloka Preirus, and US images were displayed on the same monitor. When the ALL was identified using MRI, the monitor was frozen to evaluate the ALL. The ALL was divided into the femoral, meniscal, and tibial portions. The portions and thickness of the ALLs and the lateral inferior genicular artery (LIGA), a landmark for the ALL, were evaluated. Results: All portions of the ALL could be identified using MRI. Using US, the tibial portion of the ALL was detected in all subjects and the femoral portion was detected in seven subjects; however, the meniscal portions could not be identified. The average ALL thickness as measured by US was 1.3 ± 0.1 mm and the LIGA was identified in all cases. Conclusions: Most portions of the ALL can be identified using US. As most ALL injuries occur at the femoral or tibial portion, US may be useful as a diagnostic tool for ALL injury.Level of Evidence: 4. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.<br />Embargo Period 12 months 続きを見る

概要: Introduction: A number of studies have examined the risk factors for Osgood–Schlatter disease (OSD). Studies on risk fac tors have not necessarily accurately demonstrated the risk factors of this disease because they were not prospective cohort studies or the populations in the studies were not categorized by the skeletal maturation of the tibial tuberosity. We can identify the precise risk factors for OSD by performing a prospective cohort study of a group of asymptomatic patients in particular times of adolescent using ultrasonography. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the precise risk factors for OSD. Methods: For all examinations, we used a 3-stage classification for tibial tuberosity development observed on ultrasonography: sonolucent (stage S), individual (stage I), and connective stages (stage C). Among 150 players with 300 knees, we included 37 male players with 70 knees at asymptomatic stage I on the first examination. We re-examined the included knees 1 year after the first examination and compared 10 knees with OSD (OSD group) and 60 knees without OSD (control group). Height, body weight, body mass index, tightness of the quadriceps femoris and hamstring muscles, muscle strength during knee extension, and flexion were assessed during the first medical examination. Results: The incidence of OSD was 14.3 % in this 1-year cohort study. A significant difference was found in body weight, quadriceps muscle tightness, and muscle tightness and strength during knee extension between the 2 groups. The precise risk factors for OSD were increased, namely the quadriceps femoris muscle tightness and strength during knee extension and flexibility of the hamstring muscles, using logistic regression analysis. Conclusions: This information may be useful for teaching quadriceps stretching in preadolescent male football players with stage I. © 2015 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 続きを見る
