We reviewed National Basketball Trainers Association data over a 6-year period to determine the incidence of lateral meniscus injury among professional basketball players. Our results indicated that 58% of all injuries involved the lateral meniscus, while 42% involved the medial meniscus. This differs from what other authors have reported for basketball players. The lateral meniscus may be vulnerable to chronic injury and subject to microtrauma from repetitive submaximal stresses associated with cutting or changing direction while running, or from pivoting. A professional player is at more risk of injury during a game than practice, and thus is exposed to injury more than a collegian because the professional season has three to four times as many games. Also, magnetic resonance imaging may aid the physician in accurately diagnosing some tears that would otherwise have gone undetected or required arthroscopy for diagnosis. In addition, injury to the lateral meniscus could produce secondary symptoms such as instability or patellofemoral pain to structures other than the lateral meniscus.
我们回顾了国家篮球训练师协会6年期间的数据，以确定职业篮球运动员中外侧半月板损伤的发生率。我们的结果表明，所有损伤中有58%涉及外侧半月板，而42%涉及内侧半月板。这与其他作者对篮球运动员的报道不同。外侧半月板可能易受慢性损伤，并受到与跑步时切入或改变方向相关的重复性次最大应力或旋转产生的微创伤影响。职业球员在比赛中比训练时受伤风险更高，因此比大学生球员更容易受伤，因为职业赛季的比赛场次是大学生赛季的三到四倍。此外，磁共振成像可能有助于医生准确诊断一些原本可能未被发现或需要关节镜检查才能诊断的撕裂。此外，外侧半月板损伤可能会产生继发性症状，如不稳定或除外侧半月板外其他结构的髌股疼痛。
