📖🔍: The association between running volume and knee osteoarthritis prevalence: A systematic review and meta-analysis: 2023 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️📉 Image: orthobullets.com/recon/12287/kn… pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36809693/ 🌐 Study explores if knee OA prevalence differs among runners with varying weekly running volumes, finding no significant overall difference 📊. Suggests higher running volumes may align with lower knee OA prevalence 🤔. Regular running might benefit cartilage health, yet the precise impact on knee OA prevalence is not fully determined 🏃‍♂️🩺. More research is needed for clearer practice guidelines 📚🔬. Prospective studies should systematically vary weekly running volume & intensity to better understand the relationship between high weekly running volume and knee OA prevalence 📈🤝. Results offer reassurance for clinicians prescribing exercise; evidence indicates that long-term running >48 km per week may not increase knee OA prevalence, despite inconclusive findings overall 🏥👟. Limitations include varying cut-offs for weekly running volumes, self-selection bias, self-reported running volume, and no adjustment for other factors influencing OA diagnosis 📝🚫.

Do you treat patients after ACL SURGERY? Here are 4 must-read blogs with expert insights:

‼️Over 50% of ACL injuries in female soccer players reported to occur in defensive pressing while decelerating! Unfortunately, another one recently confirmed in @BarclaysWSL with Gabby George from @ManUtd ⚽️ More research needed into this specific situational pattern. #ACL

⚠️RTS is after an ACL reconstruction not a static moment in time but a dynamic and individual process 📈We use this figure to create a RTS profile for every patient!

A simple tool to help identify #ACL #knee injuries in trauma settings is LIMP index.. asks if: Leg gives way at injury Inability to continue Marked swelling Pop heard or felt > 2 of these can ID those needing referral ⬇️appropriate discharges by 22% tinyurl.com/ycka23uh

Eliud Kipchoge’s 1:59:40 marathon run is truly insane when you break down the numbers: ▫️4:35 per mile pace (the record for one mile is 3:43 and he kept the pace 26x) ▫️OR 2:50 per KM pace (he did it 42x and each kilometre was within 2:48 to 2:52) ▫️The average men’s marathon time for 5km is ~30 mins (Kipchoge’s 5km pace was 14:13 mins, which he did ~8x) ▫️The world record 10km run is 26:11 (Kipchoge’s 5km pace was 28:26 which he did ~4x) ▫️His 100m pace was 17 seconds, which he did 422x ▫️The 21km per hour pace (or 13 miles per hour) isn’t even available on some treadmills The sub-2 hour run — which was staged in Vienna in 2019 — is unreal but doesn’t count for marathon record purposes. Why? Because the event was optimized for Kipchoge: coaches brought him water and he had pacemakers (including a car laying down a laser beam). The human pacemakers might be my favourite part. They were 41 of the world’s top runners with >50 combined medals at Olympics and World Championships. All knew Kipchoge was the GOAT and chipped in. Kipchoge’s pace was so punishing that the pacemakers swapped in and out at 5-minute intervals. The best part — shown below — is when Kipchoge waves them off at the end and they cheer him on as he goes HAM to the finish line.

Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head (AVNFH) is a disease of the proximal femur and, if untreated, 80% of cases progress to femoral head collapse and secondary arthritis. Early diagnosis is essential and relies on clinicians maintaining a high level of suspicion of the disease in patients with unexplained hip pain, especially in young and active individuals. MRI is the GOLD standard for diagnosis. When it comes to the treatment of early or ‘pre-collapse’ AVNFH, there remains no firm consensus. There is a distinct lack of large, randomized controlled trials, and no level 1 evidence. Full Link sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
