Eccentric Exercise Protocols for Patella Tendinopathy: Should we Really be Withdrawing Athletes from Sport? A Systematic Review.
The open orthopaedics journal
The 2007 review by Visnes and Bahr concluded that athletes with patella tendinopathy should be withdrawn from sport whilst engaging in eccentric exercise (EE) rehabilitation programs. However, deprivation of sport is associated with a number of negative psychological and physiological effects. Withdrawal from sport is therefore a decision that warrants due consideration of the risk/benefit ratio. The aim of this study was to determine whether sufficient evidence exists to warrant withdrawal of…
The 2007 review by Visnes and Bahr concluded that athletes with patella tendinopathy should be withdrawn from sport whilst engaging in eccentric exercise (EE) rehabilitation programs. However, deprivation of sport is associated with a number of negative psychological and physiological effects. Withdrawal from sport is therefore a decision that warrants due consideration of the risk/benefit ratio. The aim of this study was to determine whether sufficient evidence exists to warrant withdrawal of athletes from sport during an eccentric exercise rehabilitation program. A systematic review of the literature was performed to identify relevant randomised trials. Data was extracted to determine whether athletes were withdrawn from sport, what evidence was presented to support the chosen strategy and whether this affected the clinical outcome. Seven studies were included. None of these reported high quality evidence to support withdrawal. In addition, three studies were identified in which athletes were not withdrawn from sport and still benefited from EE. This review has demonstrated that there is no high quality evidence to support a strategy of withdrawal from sport in the management of patella tendinopathy.

The influence of hydroxyapatite coating of external fixator pins on pin loosening and pin track infection: a systematic review.
Injury
OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this systematic review of published randomised controlled trials was to evaluate whether there was a clinical benefit in terms of pin loosening and pin track infection, or deep infection, associated with hydroxyapatite coating of external fixator pins. The secondary objective was to evaluate whether there was a clinical benefit in terms of loss of alignment or malunion associated with hydroxyapatite coating of external fixator pins.
METHODS: Studies…OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this systematic review of published randomised controlled trials was to evaluate whether there was a clinical benefit in terms of pin loosening and pin track infection, or deep infection, associated with hydroxyapatite coating of external fixator pins. The secondary objective was to evaluate whether there was a clinical benefit in terms of loss of alignment or malunion associated with hydroxyapatite coating of external fixator pins.
METHODS: Studies included were identified by a PubMed search for relevant randomised controlled trials on the 20th of December 2007. A systematic review was performed.
RESULTS: All of the studies concluded that there was significantly less pin loosening in the HA-coated groups although the definition of loosening was based on different criteria. However, there was insufficient evidence to properly evaluate the clinical benefit in terms of the numbers needed to treat to avoid premature pin removal. There was also insufficient evidence to evaluate whether any clinical benefit is gained by using HA-coated pins with respect to deep infection and malunion.
CONCLUSION: A well designed large randomised controlled trial is required to determine the numbers needed to treat with HA-coated pins to reduce the incidence of clinically relevant pin loosening, axial deformity and pin track or deep infection.
