Injury·2016

Bone stress injuries in the knee are common in military conscripts experiencing exercise-induced pain, with the medial tibial plateau being the most frequent site. Magnetic resonance imaging is crucial for diagnosing these injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Comprehensive studies on knee bone stress injuries using MRI are lacking.
  • Exercise-induced knee pain is a common complaint, particularly in physically active populations like military conscripts.

Observation:

  • A 70-month study analyzed 1577 knee MRIs from 1330 patients with exercise-induced knee pain.
  • Bone stress injuries were identified in 110 knees, with 141 distinct injuries documented.
  • The incidence rate was calculated at 103 per 100,000 person-years.

Findings:

  • The medial tibial plateau was the most common site for bone stress injuries (31%), often indicating more advanced damage.
  • Twenty-five percent of affected patients had bilateral injuries, and 28% had multiple injuries in the same knee.

  • Medial tibial plateau injuries led to earlier onset of knee pain post-military service commencement compared to other locations.
  • Implications:

    • Bone stress injuries of the knee are relatively frequent in military conscripts with exercise-induced pain.
    • The potential for multiple and bilateral injuries necessitates thorough evaluation.
    • Magnetic resonance imaging is recommended for routine diagnosis in cases of activity-related knee pain for accurate assessment and treatment planning.
