“…In this study, the mean age at which surgery occurred was significantly lower for the ankle (26.4 years) and knee (28.0 years) joints than for the hip joints (37.5 years) by 10 years. Muckle 36 reported that the average age for knee surgery in a group of 50 professional and 41 non-professional soccer players was 23.9 years and that each of these players was also diagnosed with OA within 10 years of surgery.…”

Objective-To quantify the prevalence of osteoarthritis and the severity of pain in the lower limb joints of players retired from English professional soccer. Method-An anonymous self administered questionnaire was distributed to 500 former players registered with the English Professional Footballers' Association. The questionnaire was designed to gather information on personal details, physical activity loading patterns, history of lower limb joint injury, and current medical condition of the lower limb joints. Results-Of 500 questionnaires distributed, 185 (37%) were returned. Nearly half of the respondents (79: 47%) retired because of injury; 42% (33) were acute injuries and 58% (46) chronic injuries. Most of the acute injuries that led to early retirement were of the knee (15: 46%), followed by the ankle (7: 21%) and lower back (5: 15%). Most of the chronic injuries that led to early retirement were also of the knee (17: 37%), followed by the lower back (10: 22%) and the hip (4: 9%). Of all respondents, 32% (59) had been medically diagnosed with osteoarthritis in at least one of the lower limb joints. More respondents had been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the knee joints than either the ankle or the hip joints. Significantly (p<0.001) more respondents reported pain in one lower extremity joint during one or more daily activities than those who did not (joint pain: 137, 80%; no joint pain: 35, 20%). Conclusion-The risk for professional soccer players of osteoarthritis in at least one of the lower extremity joints is very high and significantly greater than for the general population. The results support the suggestion that professional soccer players should be provided with health surveillance during their playing career. (Br J Sports Med 2001;35:402-408)

“…Historically, professional soccer players with symptomatic meniscal tears have been treated with meniscectomy in order to RTP, free of symptoms, as soon as possible. [50][51][52] Partial meniscectomy may allow early RTP at 6 to 8 weeks at the preinjury level in the majority of professional athletes. 9 , 24 Resection of meniscal tissue, besides having established long-term consequences predisposing patients to early knee osteoarthritis, 6 , 10 in the setting of lateral partial meniscectomy may lead to rapid chondrolysis of the lateral compartment.…”

“…In his analysis of 91 soccer players who had undergone meniscectomy (either partial or total), Muckle found that all had developed radiological changes of knee osteoarthritis within 10 years of meniscectomy. 10 Chantraine, in a study of 81 former soccer players, showed that all 42 knees that had undergone excision of at least was 3.6 times (95% CI, 0.8-16.2; P=0.10) and 17.7 times (95% CI, 2.2-146.2; P=0.0075), respectively.…”

Objective: To determine the functional and radiological status of knee joints of retired Australian Rules footballers compared with those of active community members. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Participants: Fifty retired elite footballers aged 34–85 years (mean, 53.7 years; SD, 11.4) from four AFL clubs and 50 age‐matched controls (35–79 years; mean, 55.7 years; SD, 12.4) who had played no contact sport since their teenage years. Main outcome measures: Severity of knee functional osteoarthritis as determined by a questionnaire, and assessment of osteoarthritis by posteroanterior weight‐bearing radiographs taken of both knees of each participant in 45‐degree flexion. Results: After adjusting for age, height, weight and body mass index, footballers had a significantly greater prevalence (P<0.0001) and severity (P<0.05) of functional and radiological osteoarthritis than controls. Footballers with a history of intra‐articular ligamentous and/or meniscal injury (Group 1) had a greater risk of functional osteoarthritis (P=0.002) and radiological (P=0.067) osteoarthritis than those with a history of collateral ligament injury or no injury (Group 2). Compared with controls, the odds of developing moderate to severe levels of functional and radiological osteoarthritis were 6.9 times (95% CI, 1.6–29.7; P=0.01) and 105.0 times (95% CI, 11.8–931.8; P< 0.0001), respectively, those in Group 1 footballers and 3.6 times (95% CI, 0.8–16.2; P=0.10) and 17.7 times (95% CI, 2.2–146.2; P=0.0075), respectively, those in Group 2 footballers. Conclusions: Elite Australian Rules footballers have a significant risk of both functional and radiological osteoarthritis, and a history of intra‐articular ligament or meniscal injury increases this risk.
