external rotation stress- AITFL

43
Q

eversion stress tests assesses function of

A

deltoid

44
Q

squeeze test assesses function of

A

syndesmosis

**pain eillicited is positive

45
Q

external rotation stress test of ankle assesses function of

A

AITFL

46
Q

indications for ankle imaging according to Ottawa ankle rules:

A

if tenderness is felt at
-posterior edge of lateral mal
-base of 5 MTP
-navicular
-posterior edge of medial mal

get Xrays, more likely for fx

47
Q

getting weight bearing X rays is crucial for evaluation of

A

syndesmosis

48
Q

ACL tear is diagnosed on exam with what tests?

A

anterior drawer
Lachman’s (more sensitive)

49
Q

ACL functions to

A

prevent anterior translation of the tibia relative to the femur

50
Q

a blow to the anterior tibia with a flexed knee can cause a tear in

PCL

**like knee against dashboard in MVC

51
Q

the PCL functions to
