Objectives

Narrative objectives1

It is estimated that as many as 25.3 million people suffer from knee osteoarthritis in Japan. Therefore, it is important to reduce the incidence of knee osteoarthritis in Japan in order to extend healthy life expectancy and reduce medical costs. Among these, meniscus injuries are the most common knee injury and have been reported to be an independent risk factor for the development of knee osteoarthritis. Partial meniscectomy has been reported to accelerate the progression of knee osteoarthritis in the long term, and meniscus suture has been widely used in recent years to preserve meniscus function. However, the re-tear rate is high, and there are very few reports on the long-term prognosis of osteoarthritis. One of the factors that contribute to the development of knee osteoarthritis is changes in knee joint motion. It is believed that the cartilage of the human knee joint thickens in response to knee joint motion during walking, and that changes in motion due to trauma cause changes in the stress on the cartilage, which in turn induce synovitis. However, as far as the applicant has been able to find, there are no detailed reports on the changes in knee joint motion during gait after meniscus injury or meniscus suture surgery. These changes in gait are thought to be related to changes in the condition of the meniscus itself, such as its position, as well as changes in physical functions before and after injury. If the effects of physical function on gait kinematics after knee meniscus treatment can be clarified, evidence-based pioneering postoperative rehabilitation will be possible.Based on the above background, this study aims to clarify the following three points. The three main questions are: 1) changes in knee joint kinematics before and after meniscal injury treatment; 2) changes in meniscal kinematics and physical function after treatment; and 3) the relationship between 1) and 2).
