Sports Traumatology and Arthroscopy Research group (STAR)
Sports Traumatology and Arthroscopy Research Group (STAR) conducts clinically oriented research in orthopedics and sports medicine, with a primary focus on knee-related conditions. Through a multidisciplinary collaboration across orthopedics, physiotherapy, and radiology, we aim to advance knowledge and improve treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries.
About the research group
STAR is part of the Department of Clinical Medicine at UiB, and collaborates with the Orthopedic Clinics at Haraldsplass Deaconess Hospital and Haukeland University Hospital.
Established to bring structure and coordination to regional orthopedic and sports medicine research, STAR has grown into a nationally and internationally recognized research group. Over recent years, the group has expanded significantly and strengthened knowledge on the treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries. STAR has also contributed to developing research in previously underexplored areas, including patellar instability and pediatric knee injuries.
Research from STAR has influenced surgical practice by improving patient safety, reducing the need for revision surgeries, and informing new standards for radiological examinations.

Projects
Operative versus non-operative treatment of posterior medial meniscus root tears: a randomized controlled multicenter trial
The aim of this project is to determine whether meniscal root repair leads to superior pain relief, knee function, and reduced progression of osteoarthritis compared with a structured non-operative treatment approach. Patients presenting with acute meniscal root tears will be invited to participate and, following inclusion, randomized to either surgical root repair or unloading and physiotherapist-guided rehabilitation. Although previous studies suggest that surgical treatment is safe and may improve knee function, there is currently no comparative evidence demonstrating superior outcomes of operative versus non-operative management. This project therefore addresses a clinically important knowledge gap in the treatment of a common condition affecting middle-aged patients with early knee osteoarthritis.
At present, the evidence base in this field consists mainly of retrospective cohort and case–control studies, which are inherently prone to selection bias and thus limit evidence-based decision-making. There is a clear need for a prospective randomized controlled trial to address the proposed research questions. Outcomes will be evaluated using a combination of radiological measures, providing information on meniscal healing and structural joint changes, and patient-reported outcome measures assessing pain, symptoms, and functional development over time. The results of this study are expected to provide robust evidence to guide future treatment recommendations.
The Effect of Tunnel Placement on Clinical Outcomes After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
The purpose of this study is to investigate how graft tunnel placement during primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction influences clinical outcomes. Using gold-standard 3D CT scans acquired immediately postoperatively, we will measure femoral and tibial tunnel positions and compare them to anatomical reference points established in prior studies. Patients who underwent ACL reconstruction at Haraldsplass Deaconess Hospital between 2013 and 2021 will
be included, with a minimum of two years of follow-up. The primary endpoint is clinical failure, defined as revision surgery, significant laxity, or positive pivot shift, while revision surgery will also be assessed as a secondary outcome. By correlating the achieved tunnel placement with clinical outcomes, this project aims to identify whether deviations from anatomical positioning increase the risk of graft failure and poor functional results.
This study is embedded within the interdisciplinary Sports Traumatology Research (STAR) Group and will utilize a combination of radiological measurements and patient-reported outcomes to evaluate results. Findings will provide clinically relevant guidance for improving ACL reconstruction techniques, reducing unwarranted variation in surgery, and ultimately decreasing the risk of revision procedures. By establishing clear relationships between tunnel placement and long-term outcomes, this research has the potential to optimize surgical strategies and enhance knee stability and function in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction.
Tibial slope assessment using a deep learning algorithm versus manual interpretation
This project investigates whether artificial intelligence can accurately and efficiently measure posterior tibial slope on knee radiographs—a key anatomical factor influencing outcomes in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery. Building on previous work from the STAR Group, which established normal tibial slope ranges and confirmed the reliability of manual measurements, the study evaluates a newly developed deep‑learning algorithm from Seoul National University Hospital. By automating slope assessment, the technology has the potential to reduce workload, minimize human error, and streamline preoperative planning for clinicians.
To validate the algorithm, the project uses an existing cohort of 728 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction at Haraldsplass Deaconess Hospital between 2002 and 2012. Manual measurements will be repeated and compared with automated readings generated through the Seoul-developed platform, assessing accuracy and both inter‑ and intra‑rater reliability. The findings may pave the way for broader adoption of AI‑supported radiographic analysis and contribute to more efficient, data‑driven orthopedic care.
Clinical Outcomes After Tibial Eminence Fracture Fixation Using Bioabsorbable Nails
This project investigates clinical outcomes after surgical treatment of tibial eminentia fractures using bioabsorbable nails at Haukeland University Hospital between 2013 and 2022. These injuries typically affect active children and adolescents, who risk reduced knee function and long‑term limitations if the fracture is not treated effectively. While most eminentia fractures heal without surgery, severely displaced injuries require operative fixation. Traditional methods using screws or sutures may risk growth‑plate disturbance or require later implant removal. The bioabsorbable‑nail technique used at Haukeland offers a minimally invasive, growth‑plate–sparing alternative, but published evidence on its effectiveness remains limited. This study aims
to validate the safety and clinical results of the method by examining radiological healing, knee stability, functional outcomes, and the rate of reoperations.
The study is designed as a retrospective review of all patients treated with this technique, supplemented by prospective clinical follow‑up. Researchers will assess injury mechanisms, anatomical risk factors such as posterior tibial slope, fracture classification, surgical details, and postoperative recovery. Eligible patients will be invited for a standardized clinical examination, including stability testing, range‑of‑motion assessment, and new radiographs, as well as completing validated knee‑function questionnaires (IKDC/pediKDC). By evaluating both clinical and radiological outcomes, the project seeks to determine whether bioabsorbable‑nail fixation is a reliable and effective treatment option.
Preventing knee osteoarthritis through improved meniscus repair
Meniscus tears are among the most common knee injuries and a key driver of early osteoarthritis (OA). Although modern treatment has shifted from removing the damaged tissue to repairing it, there is still limited high‑quality evidence showing that repair truly prevents OA or improves long‑term outcomes. This project aims to close that knowledge gap by investigating whether current meniscus repair practices reduce OA risk, and by testing new biological and surgical strategies designed to improve healing and prevent treatment failure. Through national registry analyses, a randomized clinical trial using fibrin clot reinforcement, and advanced biomechanical testing of innovative repair techniques, the project seeks to determine which approaches best preserve knee function and joint cartilage over time.
The work is carried out by the STAR research group in collaboration with regional hospitals and international partners, with the goal of advancing meniscus surgery and establishing Norway as a leader in evidence‑based treatment of knee injuries. By improving meniscus healing and preventing OA, the project has the potential to significantly reduce long‑term disability, improve patient quality of life, and lower healthcare costs. The results will form the basis for national treatment guidelines, ensuring consistent, high‑quality care for patients with meniscus injuries across Norway.
The role of functional performance measures in predicting secondary ACL injury: The Bergen-Geldrop cohort study
The purpose of this project is to investigate whether functional performance tests (Biodex strength testing of knee extension/flexion and hop tests) can predict the risk of reinjury upon return to sport.
Individuals who sustain an ACL injury are often young and physically active, with a strong desire to return to sport. Most require surgical reconstruction of the ACL followed by a long period of rehabilitation. After rehabilitation, return-to-sport tests are performed by a physiotherapist to assess the patient’s risk of sustaining a new knee injury when returning to a “high-risk sport.”
We aim to recruit patients who have returned to sport after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, to see whether they remain injury-free two years after surgery or have sustained new knee injuries.
Long‑Term Outcomes After Revision ACL Reconstruction
Revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is becoming increasingly common as more young and active patients undergo primary ACL surgery. However, outcomes after revision surgery remain poorly understood, with studies suggesting worse knee function, lower return‑to‑sport rates, higher failure rates, and an increased risk of osteoarthritis compared with primary ACL reconstruction. Haraldsplass Deaconess Hospital has served as a regional centre for complex ACL revision surgery for decades, creating one of the largest single‑centre cohorts of revision cases in Norway. This project leverages unique dataset to evaluate medium‑ and long‑term outcomes after revision ACL surgery, focusing on knee function, stability, patient‑reported outcomes, activity levels, and the development of osteoarthritis.
The study compares all revision ACL surgeries performed at Haraldsplass from 2004–2016 with a matched control group of uneventful primary ACL reconstructions. Using structured clinical examinations, radiographic assessment, and validated outcome measures, the project aims to provide robust evidence on the true long‑term consequences of revision surgery and identify factors that influence prognosis—such as tunnel placement, mechanism of failure, or coexisting meniscal and cartilage injuries. The findings are expected to guide clinical decision‑making, improve surgical strategies, and ultimately optimize care for the growing number of patients facing revision ACL reconstruction.
Patients with patellar instability
The aim of this project is to develop a test battery consisting of questionnaires and physical tests that can be used in the follow-up of patients with patellar instability after surgery. This is done by collecting a range of information at different time points and monitoring patients’ progress over time. Part of the project involves translating a questionnaire into Norwegian and evaluating whether it is suitable for use in Norwegian-speaking patients. In addition, we want to highlight patients’ experiences of living with patellar instability. Therefore, we have conducted in-depth interviews with a group of patients.
What we have found so far:
· One of the questionnaires (the Banff Patellofemoral Instability Instrument) is well suited for this patient group.
· Living long term with patellar instability affects many aspects of daily life, leading patients to avoid both physical activity and social situations due to fear of the kneecap dislocating.
· Six months after surgery, many patients still have reduced knee function compared to their preoperative level.
Changes influenced by the study so far:
· Novel follow-up assessment routines have been implemented in collaborating institutions.
· The Banff Patellofemoral Instability Instrument has been implemented at several hospitals in Norway.
“Return-to-sport" testing after ACL injury
In this project, we investigated how healthcare providers can best follow up patients after ACL surgery to ensure a safe return to their desired activities. We had a particular interest in examining how mental factors may influence rehabilitation and return to sport.
The project consisted of three sub-studies:
1. Study 1: Translated and validated the ACL–Return to Sport After Injury scale, which measures patients’ mental readiness to challenge their knee post‑injury. The questionnaire showed good quality and is now used nationally, including at the Norwegian Olympic Training Center (Olympiatoppen).
2. Study 2: Identified which tests best determine readiness for return to sport. A combination of mental readiness, muscle strength, and hop performance provided the most reliable assessment of when it is safe to return.
3. Study 3: Examined whether knee laxity tests contribute to return‑to‑sport decisions and whether laxity is linked to fear of re‑injury. One laxity test was particularly useful, but knee laxity and fear were only weakly related, meaning both should be assessed independently.
