The effects of isokinetic training in athletes after knee surgery: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: Isokinetic training appears equally, if not more effective than isotonic, for restoring strength balance between hamstrings and quadriceps. This could lead to more favorable muscle mass changes. Isokinetic training also parallels isotonic rehabilitation for functional outcomes and meeting return-to-sport criteria. Therefore, isokinetic training should be included as one of the main strength restoration strategies after knee surgery, especially in early and middle rehabilitation stages.REGISTRATION NUMBER: The present systematic review was registered on PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42022370398).PMID:381242...

Trends in utilization of meniscal allograft transplantation between 2010 and 2019
CONCLUSIONS: Although MAT has been shown to be a safe and reliable surgery for the treatment of meniscus deficient knees, the incidence of MAT as well as the population undergoing MAT has minimally increased from 2010 to 2019. Future studies should seek to identify why the utilization of this efficacious surgery has not increased.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV; Descriptive Epidemiology Study.PMID:38054215 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2023.2292038 (Source: The Physician and Sportsmedicine Online)
