Better: elevation
Worse: walking, pivoting, stairs, cutting
Treatment:
Surgery: Hamstring, quad, gastroc, patellar tendon grafts
-1-2 years
-necrosis, revascularization, cellerular proliferation, collagen formation
PT:
Stage 1: Inflammatory 0-14d
-ROM, inflammation
Stage 2: Reparative 15-21d

139
LCL Sprain
-tearing of LCL by varus force at fibular attachment
-least common knee lig injury
S/S: pop sensation, lateral knee pain, instability, swelling, n/t from superficial fib
140

-tearing of meniscus
-often with ACL
-Medial more common (less mobile)
S/S: popping, clicking, giving away, joint line tenderness, delayed swelling
Cause: degeneration, trauma (compressive twisting)
141
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
