Epidemiology of sports-induced meniscus injury: a systematic review

doi:10.3969/j.issn.2095-4344.1345

Abstract

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Although many health benefits are related to sports, over the past few years, as the number of people participating in sports has gradually increased, the number of people suffering from meniscus injuries has been on a rise.
OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the epidemiological characteristics of meniscus injury in sports injury.
METHODS: PubMed, EMbase, WanFang, VIP and CNKI databases were searched to collect studies of the epidemiological characteristics of meniscus injury in sports injury from inception to September 30, 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.0 software.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Twenty-one studies were included. (2) The results of meta-analysis showed that: the prevalence of meniscus injury in sports injury was 5% [95%CI (0.04, 0.05)]. Five articles included in the literature introduced the incidence of medial and lateral meniscus injury, respectively. The prevalence of lateral meniscus injury in sports injury was 8% [95%CI (0.05, 0.11)] and the prevalence of medial meniscus injury in sports injury was 7% [95%CI (0.04, 0.09)]. (3) The ratio of male to female was 1.5 and male patients were more than female, with the age ranging from 14 to 24 years. (4) Special training was the main cause of sports injuries. (5) Current evidence shows that there is a high prevalence of meniscus injury in sports injury. The incidence of lateral meniscus injury is slightly higher than that of medial side. The main reason of sports injuries is mainly determined by the level of special training. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify above conclusion.

Key words: sports injury, meniscus injury, epidemiology, incidence, special training, sex, systematic review
