changing direction (cutting)
-Pivoting with your foot firmly
planted
-Landing awkwardly from a
jump
-Stopping suddenly
-Presence of valgus collapse with squats and plyometrics
ACL tear clinical manifestations
-Pop may have been heard or felt at time of injury
-Limited WB initially
-Produces rapid joint effusion when injured
-Unstable feeling/ “giving way” with WB
MCL tear risk factors

Knee Osteoarthritis risk factors
-Age greater than 50 years
-BMI greater than 30
Knee Osteoarthritis clinical manifestations
-Gradual onset
-Varus or valgus misalignment
Lachman test
For ACL,
Patient supine with knee flexed between 10-20 degrees and femur stabilized with one hand. Examiner uses other hand to anteriorly translate tibia
Anterior Drawer
For ACL,
Patient supine. Knee is flexed between 60-90 degrees and foot on table. Examiner draws tibia anterior.
Pivot shift test
For ACL,
Patient supine. Examiner lifts heel of foot to flex hip to 45 degrees. Knee placed in 10-20 degrees flexion. Examiner performs forceful IR of tibia and fibula while creating valgus force at knee. Positive if tibial plateau subluxes anteriorly.
Lever sign
For ACL,
placing towel under knee and pressing straight down on thigh, if foot does not rise off of table then it is positive.
