Changes in anterior femoral articular cartilage structure in collegiate rugby athletes with and without a history of traumatic knee joint injury following a five-month competitive season

Abstract This study aimed to examine anterior femoral cartilage morphology before (pre-season) and after (post-season) a 5-month competitive season in collegiate ruby players with and without a previous history of traumatic injury to ligamentous, meniscus, and/or cartilage structures at the knee joi...

Using a prospective cohort design, 42 male collegiate rugby players with a previous history of traumatic intracapsular knee joint injury and 124 players without knee injury history were included in this study. Ultrasonography assessments of anterior femoral cartilage were performed before (pre-season) and following a 5-month athletic season (post-season). Rugby players with a history of traumatic knee joint injury had greater lateral condylar thickness (2.37 ± 0.35 mm, p = 0.03), intercondylar thickness (2.51 ± 0.47 mm, p = 0.03), and partial area (44.67 ± 7.28mm2, p = 0.02) compared to control players (lateral = 2.23 ± 0.35 mm, intercondylar = 2.32 ± 0.47 mm, partial area = 41.60 ± 7.26 mm2), regardless of pre-and post-season assessment time points. Pre-season ultrasonography assessment of lateral condylar thickness (2.34 ± 0.47 mm, p = 0.02), medial condylar thickness (2.05 ± 0.43 mm, p = 0.03), and partial area (44.10 ± 9.23 mm2, p = 0.001) were significantly greater than the post-season ultrasonography assessment time point (lateral = 2.26 ± 0.43 mm, medial = 1.98 ± 0.43 mm, partial area = 42.17 ± 8.82 mm2), regardless of group membership. Rugby players with a history of intracapsular knee joint injury displayed altered anterior femoral cartilage size via ultrasonography assessments. Regardless of a presence of injury history, collegiate rugby players showed a decrease in cartilage thickness and partial area following a 5-month competitive season.Miyuki HoriMasafumi TeradaTadashi SugaTadao IsakaNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 11, Iss 1, Pp 1-8 (2021)
