Knee injuries in athletics are a major problem facing the sports medicine community. There is no compelling evidence to suggest that the likelihood of sustaining a knee injury is increasing; however, more knee injuries are being identified and treated due to improved diagnostic techniques. Successful prevention of knee injuries with prophylactic braces has not paralleled the substantial advances in diagnosis and treatment of these knee problems. This article summarizes the current data available and makes recommendations for subsequent prophylactic knee brace use.
运动中的膝关节损伤是运动医学领域面临的一个主要问题。目前尚无确凿证据表明膝关节受伤的可能性在增加；然而，由于诊断技术的改进，越来越多的膝关节损伤被发现并得到治疗。预防性护膝在成功预防膝关节损伤方面并未与这些膝关节问题在诊断和治疗上的重大进展同步。本文总结了现有数据，并对后续预防性护膝的使用提出建议。
