Košarka velja za šport z visoko incidenco poškodb, pri čemer je koleno – poleg gležnja – eden najpogosteje prizadetih sklepov. Osgood-Schlatterjev sindrom je pogosta rastna poškodba kolena pri mladostnikih, povezana s ponavljajočimi športnimi obremenitvami in intenzivno telesno rastjo. Najpogosteje se pojavi med 10. in 15. letom starosti. Cilj magistrskega dela je preučiti pojavnost kolenskih poškodb pri kakovostnih mladih košarkarjih (državnih reprezentantih), s posebnim poudarkom na Osgood-Schlatterjevem sindromu, ter analizirati vpliv različnih dejavnikov, kot so tip igralca, obdobje hitre rasti, zgodnja specializacija in fizioterapevtska obravnava. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 73 mladih košarkarjev, starih med 14 in 20 let, ki so izpolnili retrospektivni vprašalnik o svojih izkušnjah s kolenskimi poškodbami, pogostostjo treningov, obdobjem rasti in morebitnim pojavom Osgood-Sclatterjevega sindroma. Ugotovili smo, da je 43,8 % košarkarjev v svoji karieri že doživelo poškodbo kolena. Od tega so bile akutne poškodbe (56,2 %) pogostejše od kroničnih (43,8 %). Največ poškodb je bilo zabeleženih pri igralcih na krilnih položajih, vendar so bile razlike pri pojavnosti poškodb med igralnimi mesti majhne in statistično neznačilne. Delež košarkarjev z uradno postavljeno diagnozo Osgood-Schlatterjevega sindroma je znašal 9,6 %. Če upoštevamo tudi tiste, ki bi jim na podlagi simptomov lahko pripisali tovrstno poškodbo, vendar diagnoza ni bila potrjena, delež naraste na 17,8 %. Večina poškodb se je pojavila v obdobju hitre rasti. Zgodnja specializacija se ni izkazala kot pomemben dejavnik tveganja za nastanek poškodbe. Približno polovica igralcev z Osgood-Schlatterjevim sindromom je bila deležna fizioterapevtske obravnave, ki je imela pozitiven vpliv na okrevanje in nadaljevanje športne aktivnosti. Rezultati nakazujejo potrebo po bolj individualni ter strokovni obravnavi pri diagnosticiranju in zdravljenju tovrstnih poškodb pri mladih košarkarjih. Raziskava prispeva k boljšemu razumevanju kolenskih težav, predvsem kroničnih oziroma preobremenitvenih poškodb, v mladinskem kakovostnem tekmovalnem športu ter predstavlja osnovo za nadaljnje, bolj poglobljene študije znotraj te populacije.

• Title: The occurrence of Osgood-Schlatter syndrome in young Slovenian national basketball team players

Abstract

The knee and ankle are two of the most often injured joints in basketball, which is regarded as a sport with a high injury rate. A common growth-related knee ailment in teenagers, Osgood-Schlatter syndrome (OSS) is linked to periods of rapid physical growth and repetitive sports loads. The age range from 10 to 15 is when it most frequently appears. Examining the prevalence of knee injuries among elite young basketball players (national team members), with an emphasis on Osgood-Schlatter syndrome, and examining the effects of different factors like player position, rapid growth periods, early specialisation, and physiotherapy treatment were the goals of this master's thesis. A retrospective questionnaire regarding knee injuries, training frequency, growth phases, and any instances of Osgood-Schlatter syndrome was filled out by 73 young basketball players, aged 14 to 20, who were included in the study. Among the basketball players, we discovered that 43.8% had suffered a knee injury at some time throughout their careers. Acute injuries accounted for 56.2% of these, whereas chronic injuries accounted for 43.8%. Although players in forward positions had the largest incidence of injuries, there were negligible and statistically insignificant differences in injury occurrence between playing positions. The percentage of athletes who had an Osgood-Schlatter syndrome (OSS) diagnosis was 9.6%. The rate rose to 17.8% when people who reported symptoms compatible with the illness but were not officially diagnosed were included. The majority of injuries happened during the period of rapid growth. It didn't seem that early specialisation was a major risk factor for injury development. Approximately 50% of the athletes with Osgood-Schlatter syndrome were treated with physiotherapy, which improved their recuperation and ability to resume sports. The findings suggest that detecting and treating these injuries of young basketball players requires a more customised and expert approach. This study advances our knowledge of knee issues, especially chronic and overuse injuries, in elite youth competitive sports and lays the groundwork for future, more thorough research on this population.
