The incidence of arthrogenic muscle inhibition in acute knee injuries: a prospective cohort study in a tertiary acute knee unit
AMI is common in acute knee injuries, affecting nearly a third of all patients reviewed. Patients with AMI were more likely to have an underlying diagnosis of PFJ dislocation than any other acute knee injury diagnosis, and was the only statistically significant association. Correct diagnosis and instituting immediate treatment can resolve >50 % cases at the index clinic appointment. Treatment workflows incorporating early review and management could result in improved patient outcome and expedited recovery from AMI.
