20.500.12556/RUL-158968 Knee osteoarthritis in the former elite football players and the ordinary population a comparative cross-sectional study A cross-sectional case–control study compared subjective knee function, quality of life and radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) between 45 former elite football players and an age-matched general male population. Participants completed the Knee OA Outcome Score (KOOS), a quality-of-life assessment (EQ-5D-3 L) and standing knee radiographs. Among the players, 24 (53%) sustained at least one moderate or severe knee injury, while 21 (47%) did not recall any injury. Players with previous knee injuries reported significantly lower knee-specific and general quality-of-life scores (KOOS 69; EQ-5D-3 L 0.69 (0.2)) compared to the non-injured players (KOOS 92; EQ-5D-3 L 0.81 (0.2)) or the control population (KOOS 90; EQ-5D-3 L 0.83 (0.2)). The injured knees had higher radiographic OA Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) scale grades 1.7 (1.3) than the knees of the non-injured players 0.8 (1.0) or the control knees 0.8 (1.0). Former elite football players who had previously sustained a moderate or severe knee injury reported inferior knee function and lower quality of life. Injured knees had higher levels of radiographic OA. Non-injured players reported similar knee and general function and their knees had similar grades of OA to those in the control group. The defining moment for long-term knee preservation in football should be injury prevention protocols. knee football osteoarthritis injury prevention true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2024-06-24 10:39:27 2024-06-24 10:39:28 2024-07-07 03:23:32 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 196–200 no. 3 Vol. 8 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 616.7 2473-4446 10.1080/24733938.2023.2228279 157848323 Knee_osteoarthritis_in_the_former_elite_football_players_and_the_ordinary_population__a_comparative_cross-sectional_study.pdf Knee_osteoarthritis_in_the_former_elite_football_players_and_the_ordinary_population__a_comparative_cross-sectional_study.pdf 1 0F8EA843FD1ABBCDCBF987C2482C430D 54e743d50b05fec1314accbb0accf77e586c6cf4176845eaa2aacc420a061520 78c91f2a-3205-11ef-b16a-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=186702 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/24733938.2023.2228279 0 9b2d5b61-3205-11ef-b16a-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=186703 Medicinska fakulteta 0 0 0
