This raises the possibility that it may similarly be associated with concomitant meniscus and cartilage injuries in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears.

A secondary purpose was to determine the optimal time frame for surgical reconstruction in patients with identified risk factors for concomitant injuries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The medical records of 696 patients from a multiethnic population who underwent ACL reconstruction from January 2013 to August 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify patient factors that were associated with medial meniscus tears, lateral meniscus tears, and cartilage injuries. Further univariate analysis was conducted to determine the earliest time point for surgery, after which the rate of concomitant injuries was significantly higher.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Over half (69.1%, n = 481) of our study population sustained at least 1 other concomitant knee injury. Meniscus tears were most frequently associated with ACL tears (24.1% medial, 25.6% lateral, and 15.5% medial and lateral meniscus tears). Cartilage injuries were present in 18.4% of our cohort. Chinese ethnicity was associated with concomitant cartilage injuries. Increased age (\u226530 years) was significantly associated with cartilage injuries and male sex with medial and lateral meniscus tears. Among patients with these factors, significantly fewer medial meniscus tears and cartilage injuries were noted when surgery was carried out within 12 months of the index trauma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is one of the first studies to have identified an association between Chinese ethnicity and concomitant cartilage injuries in ACL tears. This study also found an association between increased age and an increased prevalence of cartilage injuries. Male sex was associated with both medial and lateral meniscus tears. Definitive surgery should be performed within 12 months of the index injury to minimize further intra-articular injuries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/2325967117750083","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,19]],"date-time":"2018-01-19T01:35:54Z","timestamp":1516325754000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Chinese Ethnicity Is Associated With Concomitant Cartilage Injuries in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Chloe Xiaoyun","family":"Chan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, Singapore."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keng Lin","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Sports Medicine and Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, National University Hospital, National University Health System, Singapore."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shi Jie","family":"Toh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Sports Medicine and Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, National University Hospital, National University Health System, Singapore."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lingaraj","family":"Krishna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Sports Medicine and Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, National University Hospital, National University Health System, Singapore."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546512457348"},{"key":"bibr2-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546514526139"},{"issue":"3","key":"bibr3-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"159","DOI":"10.3113\/JSOA.2015.0159","volume":"24","author":"Barrett GR","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Surg Orthop Adv"},{"key":"bibr4-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0954411913490387"},{"key":"bibr5-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546513490649"},{"key":"bibr6-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00042752-200501000-00003"},{"key":"bibr7-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546515608483"},{"key":"bibr8-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.L.01713"},{"key":"bibr9-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-013-2718-2"},{"key":"bibr10-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546511410380"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr11-2325967117750083","first-page":"131","volume":"21","author":"Fok AW","year":"2015","journal-title":"Hong Kong Med J"},{"key":"bibr12-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546508330136"},{"key":"bibr13-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0019-5413.189606"},{"key":"bibr14-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546513503448"},{"key":"bibr15-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-008-0654-3"},{"key":"bibr16-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546507307396"},{"key":"bibr17-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.H.00539"},{"issue":"8","key":"bibr18-2325967117750083","first-page":"S223","volume":"15","author":"Moskowitz RW","year":"2009","journal-title":"Am J Manag Care"},{"key":"bibr19-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2004.12.004"},{"key":"bibr20-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546509338827"},{"key":"bibr21-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-007-0414-9"},{"key":"bibr22-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2010.11.060"},{"key":"bibr23-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546516629944"},{"key":"bibr24-2325967117750083","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2309499016684289"},{"key":"bibr25-2325967117750083","unstructured":"Singapore Department of Statistics.
