    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Orthopaedics
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Running is a popular activity with over 20 million regular participants in the US.
    • A significant percentage of runners (60-70%) experience injuries severe enough to halt their activity.
    • Knee-related injuries constitute a substantial portion (40%) of all running-related injuries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the prevalence of knee injuries in runners.
    • To emphasize the importance of identifying underlying biomechanical abnormalities in treating running injuries.
    • To advocate for a comprehensive approach to managing running injuries, involving orthopaedic surgeons.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of running injury data, focusing on knee-related incidents.
    • Review of existing literature on running injuries and biomechanics.

  • Clinical evaluation by orthopaedic surgeons to assess lower extremity function.

    • Main Results:

    • Knee injuries account for 40% of all running-related injuries.
    • A high incidence of running injuries necessitates seeking medical treatment.
    • Orthopaedic surgeons play a key role in evaluating and treating injured runners.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective treatment of running injuries requires addressing the root biomechanical causes.
    • Identifying injured structures combined with biomechanical understanding enables rational treatment strategies.
    • A comprehensive approach can manage acute knee problems and prevent future running injuries.
