Running is not detrimental to #knee #cartilage
1. The general health benefits of #running are well-established, yet concern exists regarding the development and progression of #osteoarthritis
A recent research examined the effects of running on knee cartilage using MRI scans.

A recent research examined the effects of running on knee cartilage using MRI scans.
2. Knee cartilage thickness and volume decreased immediately after running, with declines ranging from 3.3% for weight-bearing femoral cartilage volume to 4.9% for patellar cartilage volume.

3. Tibiofemoral cartilage T2 relaxation times on MRI recovered to baseline levels within 91 minutes.
Existing cartilage defects were unchanged within 48 hours post-run, as examined on MRI.

Low dose exercise regimen is quite effective in patients with knee #osteoarthritis (OA)
1. Patients with knee OA suffer from #knee pain, poor knee function and poor quality of life.
A recent study compared low dose versus high dose exercise regimens in people with knee OA.
1. Patients with knee OA suffer from #knee pain, poor knee function and poor quality of life.
A recent study compared low dose versus high dose exercise regimens in people with knee OA.
2. High-dose #exercise therapy lasted for 70-90 minutes consisting of 11 exercises, whereas low dose exercise therapy (consisting of 5 exercises) lasted for 20-30 minutes.
Both were performed three times a week.
Patients were followed up at 3, 6 and 12 months.

Patients were followed up at 3, 6 and 12 months.
3. Both groups improved over time, but there were no benefits of high-dose therapy in most comparisons.
However, small benefits with high-dose exercise were found for knee function in sports and recreation and for quality of life (QoL).

How can one reduce the risk of knee #osteoarthritis?
1. Knee osteoarthritis (OA) causes knee pain. It limits mobility, hampers physical activity and contributes to sedentary lifestyle, which in turn, increases the risk of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart attack and stroke.

2. Who are at risk of developing knee OA?
*Non-modifiable risk factors:
Female gender and older age
*#obesity: Increases the risk of knee OA three-times. It also accelerates the progression of disease.

3. Knee injury: Traumatic joint injury is a major risk factor for osteoarthritis, particularly at the #knee (i.e. meniscal damage, anterior cruciate ligament rupture, or direct articular cartilage injury). Ref: doi.org/10.1097%2FBOR.…
Longer daily #sedentary time increases the risk of #Knee, #Hip and #back #pain
1. 20-25% of people aged 50 or more suffer from orthopedic problems such as knee joint pain, hip joint pain, back pain and knee stiffness. Sedentary lifestyle is a major risk factor for them.

2. In a recent study, men with sedentary time of 7.5 hours or more/day had 45% higher risk of orthopedic problems as compared to those with daily sedentary time of <7.5 hours.

3. A pink-collar job, physical inactivity during leisure time, and passive (e.g. riding in a car or train) versus active (e.g. walking or riding a bicycle) transportation- were more commonly associated with orthopedic problems in people with daily sedentary time >7.5 hours.

The ACL is the primary restraint to anterior tibial translation and also plays a role in rotary stability
It is composed of two bundles, named based on their tibial insertions:
✯ Anteromedial
✯ Posterolateral
What structure separates the femoral insertions of the two bundles?

What structure separates the femoral insertions of the two bundles?
AM bundle:
✯ Tightest in Flexion
✯ Resists anterior tibial translation
✯ Tested by Lachman's/Anterior Drawer
PL bundle:
✯ Tightest in Extension
✯ Rotatory Restraint
✯ Tested by Pivot Shift
The bifurcate ridge separates the femoral insertions of the AM and PL bundles.
