The aim of the article is to provide an indication of anterior knee pain prevalence among young South African basketball players. A retrospective questionnaire survey was conducted to capture information on injuries sustained over one season. The sample comprised 458 young basketball players in Cape Town and comprised 122 club players and 337 school basketball players.  A total of 180 knee injuries were reported indicating a rate of 1 knee injury in 2.5 players. Anterior knee pain was the most commonly reported area ofpain by the 458 basketball players (49.1%, n=141). The most common combination of pain area was anteromedially (18.2%, n=141). The results of our survey are in agreement with other studies indicating that patellofemoral pain is probably the most common knee presentation among young active individuals and arguably the most common condition seen at sports injury clinics.

This study aimed at evaluating the burden and risk factors of patellar and Achilles tendinopathy among youth basketball players. Patellar and Achilles tendinopathy were prospectively monitored in 515 eligible male and female youth basketball players (11–18 years) through a competitive season. Overall, the season prevalence of patellar tendinopathy was 19.0% (95% CI: 15.7–22.7%), 23.2% (95% CI: 18.6–28.2%) in males and 12.5% (95% CI: 8.3–17.9%) in females. The season prevalence of Achilles tendinopathy was 4.3% (95% CI: 2.7–6.4%), 4.1% (95% CI: 2.2–7.0%) in males and 4.5% (95% CI: 2.1–8.4%) in females. Median proportion of symptoms duration was 83% of average total weeks of basketball exposure for patellar tendinopathy and 75% for Achilles tendinopathy. Median time to patellar tendinopathy onset was 8 weeks for male players and 6 weeks for female players. Higher odds of patellar tendinopathy risk were seen in males (OR: 2.23, 95% CI: 1.10–4.69) and players with previous anterior knee pain had significantly elevated odds (OR: 8.5, 95% CI: 4.58–16.89). The burden and risk of patellar tendinopathy is high among competitive youth basketball players. Risk factors include sex and previous anterior knee pain. These findings provide directions for practice and future research.

Introduction/Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between anterior knee pain and Insall-Salvati ratio after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring tendon. Methods. We have evaluate 39 patient that had an ACL reconstruction surgery with hamstring tendon retrospectively. 14 patient had anterior knee pain at the and of the first year of the surgery. All the patient were evaluated for Insall-Salvati ratio preoperatively and postoperatively. Patients were evaluated at the end of the first year after the surgery with Lysholm score and Tegner activity scale. Patients preoperative and postoperative measurements were analyzed by using the Wilcoxon test and differences between patients with anterior knee pain and without pain was analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test. Results. Mean Insall-Salvati ratio was found preoperatively 0,91?0,1 and postoperatively 0,85?0,09 (p?0,05). Mean Tegner activity score was 8,56?1,04 and mean Lysholm score was 87,36?9,42 in the group without anterior knee pain. Mean Tegner activity score was 7,21?0,97 and mean Lysholm score was 74,43?9,94 in the group with anterior pain. There is an decrease in ?nsall-Salvati ratio as a result of the surgery. But patients with anterior knee pain had lower values of ?nsall-Salvati ratio preoperatively. Conclusion. Preoperatively low ?nsall-Salvati ratio can be premised indicator of anterior knee pain in the early period after ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendons. Mean Tegner activity score and mean Lysholm score have higher values in the group without anterior pain post operatively.
