Exam 1: Soft Tissue Pathologies of the Knee Flashcards
What are the three types of patellar bursitis
prepatellar, suprapatellar, and infrapatellar
Patellar bursitis is typically inflamed secondary to (acute/chronic) trauma, but may be (acute/chronic) or associated with infection
acute; chronic
(prepatellar/suprapatellar/infrapatellar) bursitis presents with significant anterior swelling
prepatellar
True or False:
Although there are risks with draining, patellar bursitis usually responds to conservative management
true
Pre-patellar bursitis may be a result of _____ or repetitive _____. Commonly seen in carpet and tile workers
trauma or compression
With pre-patellar bursitis, AROM and PROM (flexion/extension) may be limited because in this motion the bursa is compressed
flexion
With pre-patellar bursitis, resistive testing is usually (positive/negative) and mobility testing/joint play is (normal/abnormal)
negative; abnormal
True or False:
If a patient presents with pre-patellar bursitis, it is normal for the knee to be very swollen, red, and warm to the touch
true
If a patient has pre-patellar bursitis, they should avoid the _____ position.
kneeling
What does PT management include for a patient presenting with pre-patellar bursitis
modalities for pain and swelling, anti-inflammatory meds, and start ROM/strengthening when swelling subsides
Which occupation population is likely to present with pre-patellar bursitis
Tile workers and carpenters
What type of bursitis can be described as inflammation of bursa between pes anserine insertion and MCL
pes anserine bursitis
How is pes anserine bursitis usually caused
repetitive motions or overuse
If a patient has Pes Anserine Bursitis, which motions will be painful
AROM and PROM with knee extension
Resisted hamstring, sartorius, or gracilis may also be painful
Pes Anserine Bursitis is typically common in patients after what type of surgery
TKA
Patient’s with Pes anserine bursitis may have tightness of the (quadriceps/hamstrings) or the (adductors/abductors)
hamstrings and adductors
What does PT management of pes anserine bursitis look like
modalities for pain and swelling, gentle stretching, avoid repetitive knee flexion and extension, and isometric strengthening
Excessive foot (supination/pronation) might also influence pes anserine bursitis
pronation
(tendinitis/tendinosis) is reserved for tendon injuries that involve acute injuries accompanied by inflammation
tendinitis
(tendinitis/tendinosis) implies a pathology of chronic degeneration without inflammation
tendinosis
True or False:
Anti-inflammatory medicine can help relieve tendinitis
true
True or False:
Anti-inflammatory medicine can help relieve tendinosis
false
What is another name for patellar tendinitis
jumpers knee
What are the three phases of tendinitis or tendonosis
- Pain after activity
- Pain during and after activity
- Pain leading to functional disability
What activities/motions can cause patellar tendinitis or tendinosis
running, jumping, overuse, eccentric activities
