Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Military cadets with a history of knee injury are at high risk for overuse knee injuries. A new prediction model can help identify these individuals for targeted prevention strategies.

Area of Science:

Sports Medicine
Military Health
Injury Epidemiology

Background:

Musculoskeletal injuries, particularly overuse knee injuries, are common in military training.
The initial phase of military academy life presents a high-risk period for injury development, especially for those with a prior knee injury history.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and internally validate a multivariable prediction model for overuse knee injuries.
To identify first-year military cadets with a history of knee injury who are at higher risk.

Main Methods:

Prospective cohort study of 1,265 cadets and midshipmen with a recent knee injury history.
Baseline data included training history, strength, and biomechanics.
Overuse knee injuries were tracked over 9 months; multivariable logistic regression and decision curve analysis were used.

Main Results:

30.8% of trainees sustained at least one overuse knee injury in their first academic year.
The prediction model showed moderate discrimination (AUC = 0.66) and stable calibration.
The model could identify 29 additional high-risk individuals per 100 compared to no model.

Conclusions:

A novel, internally validated prediction model for overuse knee injuries in high-risk military trainees was developed.
Subgrouping by prior injury status improved model performance.
The model demonstrates potential clinical utility for targeted prevention in military trainees.
