Official title
RED KARD: Reducing Disparities in Knee Arthroscopy for Adolescents
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Hundreds of thousands of youth athletes require surgery for knee injuries annually. The incidence of operative knee injuries has skyrocketed, but surgery can be delayed due to late recognition and barriers, such as insurance, language, and difficulty navigating the healthcare system. Delays may have lifelong effects, including arthritis, persistent instability, poor patient reported outcomes, and reoperation. There is little patient-centered research on barriers to orthopaedic care, and none on interventions to reduce disparities in pediatric sports medicine. This study will focus on Hispanic children, a growing population nationally and 38% of the Chicago's children, who are at increased risk of delayed knee surgery and its sequelae compared to white, non-Hispanic patients. The overall objectives are to identify barriers to timely knee surgery in Hispanic athletes and develop an intervention to implement evidence on expedient treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of a culturally-tailored intervention in a pilot study of Hispanic youth soccer leagues. The proposed study will drive creation of a future community trial of a culturally-tailored intervention.
