COL12A1 rs970547 Polymorphism Does Not Alter Susceptibility to Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Currently available evidence regarding the association between collagen type XII α1 (COL12A1) polymorphism and risk of anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACLR) remains elusive. The aim of our present study was to assess the association between COL12A1 rs970547 polymorphism and ACLR risk. Methods: Five online databases, namely, PubMed, EMBASE, ISI Web of Science, CENTRAL, and CNKI, were searched from their inception data up to December 2020 to identify relative observational studies. The methodological quality of each individual study was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). The "model-free approach" was employed to estimate the magnitude of effect of COL12A1 rs970547 polymorphism on ACLR, and the association was expressed using odds ratio (OR) and its associated 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Subgroup analysis was performed by ethnicity and sex of included subjects. Results: Eight studies involving 1,477 subjects with ACLR and 100,439 healthy controls were finally included in our study. The methodological quality of included studies was deemed moderate to high based on NOS scores. The "model-free" approach suggested no genotype differences between ACLR and healthy control for the rs970547 polymorphism, but we still used the allele model to present the combined data. Under the random-effect model, there was no significant difference in the frequency of effecting allele between ACLR and control (OR: 0.91, 95% CI 0.77, 1.08; p = 0.28). Stratified analysis by sex and ethnicity also showed no difference in allele frequency. Conclusion: The findings of this current meta-analysis suggested that rs970547 was not associated with ACLR risk in male, female, and the overall population among Asians or Caucasians.

Project description:BackgroundAnterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft rupture occurs at a high rate, especially in young athletes. The geometries of the tibial plateau and femoral intercondylar notch are risk factors for first-time ACL injury; however, little is known about the relationship between these geometries and risk of ACL graft rupture.HypothesisThe geometric risk factors for noncontact graft rupture are similar to those previously identified for first-time noncontact ACL injury, and sex-specific differences exist.Study designCase-control study; Level of evidence, 3.MethodsEleven subjects who suffered a noncontact ACL graft rupture and 44 subjects who underwent ACL reconstruction but did not experience graft rupture were included in the study. Using magnetic resonance imaging, the geometries of the tibial plateau subchondral bone, articular cartilage, meniscus, tibial spines, and femoral notch were measured. Risk factors associated with ACL graft rupture were identified using Cox regression.ResultsThe following were associated with increased risk of ACL graft injury in males: increased posterior-inferior-directed slope of the articular cartilage in the lateral tibial plateau measured at 2 locations (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.50, P = .029; HR = 1.39, P = .006), increased volume (HR = 1.45, P = .01) and anteroposterior length (HR = 1.34, P = .0023) of the medial tibial spine, and increased length (HR = 1.18, P = .0005) and mediolateral width (HR = 2.19, P = .0004) of the lateral tibial spine. In females, the following were associated with increased risk of injury: decreased volume (HR = 0.45, P = .02) and height (HR = 0.46, P = .02) of the medial tibial spine, decreased slope of the lateral tibial subchondral bone (HR = 0.72, P = .01), decreased height of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus (HR = 0.09, P = .001), and decreased intercondylar notch width at the anterior attachment of the ACL (HR = 0.72, P = .02).ConclusionThe geometric risk factors for ACL graft rupture are different for males and females. For females, a decreased femoral intercondylar notch width and a decreased height of the posterior medial meniscus were risk factors for ACL graft rupture that have also been found to be risk factors for first-time injury. There were no risk factors in common between ACL graft injury and first-time ACL injury for males.

Project description:CONTEXT:Manual perturbation training improves knee functional performance and mitigates abnormal gait in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. However, manual perturbation training is time- and labor-intensive for therapists. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether perturbation training administered using a mechanical device can provide effects similar to manual training on clinical measures and knee biomechanics after ACL rupture. DESIGN:Prospective cohort (therapeutic) study. A 2?×?2 analysis of variance was used for statistical analysis. SETTING:A clinical and biomechanical laboratory. PATIENTS:Eighteen level I/II patients with acute ACL ruptures participated in this preliminary study. INTERVENTION:Nine patients received mechanical perturbation training on an automated mechanical device (mechanical group), and 9 patients received manual perturbation training (manual group). OUTCOME MEASURES:Patients completed performance-based testing (quadriceps strength and single-legged hop tests), patient-reported questionnaires (Knee Outcome Survey-Activities of Daily Living Scale, Global Rating Score, and International Knee Documentation Committee 2000), and 3-dimensional gait analysis before (pretesting) and after (posttesting) training. RESULTS:There was no significant group-by-time interaction found for all measures (P???.18). Main effects of time were found for International Knee Documentation Committee 2000 (pretesting: 69.10 [10.95], posttesting: 75.14 [7.19]), knee excursion during weight-acceptance (pretesting: 16.01° [3.99°]; posttesting: 17.28° [3.99°]) and midstance (pretesting: 14.78° [4.13°]; posttesting: 16.92° [4.53°]) and external knee-flexion moment (pretesting: 0.43 [0.11] N m/kg/m; posttesting: 0.48 [0.11] N m/kg/m) (P???.04). After accounting for pretesting groups' differences, the mechanical group scored significantly higher on triple hops (mechanical: 96.73% [6.65%]; manual: 84.97% [6.83%]) and 6-m timed hops (mechanical: 102.07% [9.50%]; manual: 91.21 [9.42%]) (P???.047) compared with manual group. CONCLUSION:The clinical significance of this study is the mechanical perturbation training produced effects similar to manual training, with both training methods were equally effective at improving patients' perception of knee function and increasing knee excursion and external flexion moment during walking after acute ACL rupture. Mechanical perturbation training is a potential treatment to improve patients' functional and biomechanical outcomes after ACL rupture.

Project description:BackgroundIt is still controversial whether the combination of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and extra-articular reconstruction (EAR) have good clinical efficacy. This meta-analysis aims systematically to compare the clinical effectiveness of ACL reconstruction and combined reconstruction.MethodsElectronic databases, including Medline/PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library, were systematically searched to identify targeted studies. A meta-analysis were performed to pool the outcome estimates of interest, such as the Lysholm, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Tegner scores and the results from the KT-1000/2000 arthrometer test, the Lachman test and the pivot shift test.ResultsTwelve studies involving 1146 knees were identified. Compared with single ACL reconstruction, combined reconstruction had better results for a pivot shift of grade 1 (relative ratio [RR]?=?0.88, 95% CI: 0.83-0.94) and grade 2 (RR?=?0.95, 95% CI: 0.91-0.99) rather than grade 3 (RR?=?0.98, 95% CI: 0.90-1.06) and no statistically significant difference for both Lachman grade 1 (RR?=?0.96, 95% CI: 0.89-1.05) and grade 2 (RR?=?0.96, 95% CI: 0.90-1.03). Combined reconstruction resulted in significant improvements on the instrumented joint laxity test when considering a failure standard of more than 5?mm (a side-to-side arthrometric difference) (RR?=?0.94, 95% CI: 0.89-0.98) rather than 3?mm (RR?=?0.94, 95% CI: 0.86-1.03). Moreover, combined reconstruction increased the IKDC score at the 12-month (weighted mean difference [WMD]?=?-?6.38, 95% CI: -?9.66 to -?3.10), 24-month (WMD?=?-?5.60, 95% CI: -?8.54 to -?2.66) and 36-month follow-ups (WMD?=?-?4.71, 95% CI: -?7.59 to -?1.83) and the Tegner score at the 36-month follow-up (WMD?=?-?0.53, 95% CI: -?0.97 to -?0.09), but it did not increase the Lysholm score at the 36-month follow-up (WMD?=?-?0.84, 95% CI: -?2.02 to 0.34).ConclusionWith the advances in reconstruction techniques, combined reconstructions were found to be effective in improving rotational stability and to lead to good functional scores. However, obviously, the combined reconstruction technique is more time-consuming and requires an additional incision, which is not suitable for all ACL-deficient patients. Therefore, programs should be personalized and customized for the specific situation of each patient.
