Hip And Knee Flashcards
Name the unhappy triad of the knee
ACL,MCL,medial meniscus
Which meniscus is more prone to acute which and is prone to lateral injury
Medial: chronic
Lateral: acute
Gardens classification is?
Neck of femur fracture
G1:partial fracture with valgus impaction
G2: complete fx undisplaced
G3:complete fx partial displacement
G4:complete fx complete displacement
What is Segond fracture and what is it associated with
Avulsion fx of tibial tuberosity
A/w ACL tear
What does disruption of Shentons line suggest
Displaced NOF fx
General principle for surgical mx of NOF fx
Displaced replace
Undisplaced fix
Radiological invx for OA knee
- AP lateral knee
2.Skyline
3.Long bone weight bearing
What do posterior and anterior drawer test for
Posterior drawer is PCL
Anterior drawer is ACL
Injectable options for knee OA
- Corticosteroids
- Hyaluronic acid with Lignocaine
- +-Autologous Protein Solution
Surgical mx of knee OA
- High Tibial osteotomy
- Unicompartmental KR
- TKR
XR findings for ACL tear
Segonds sign/fracture:avulsion fx from ALL
Terminalis sign?
Osteochondral bodies
Signs of joint effusion
Most common mechanism of injury
Twisting injury where knee is flexed,valgus and externally rotated
Types of ACL reconstruction grafts
Allogenic vs autologous
Hamstring vs Bone Patella Tendon graft
Absolute CIs for total knee replacement
Knee sepsis, chronic infection,severe vascular disease,etc
Three compartments of the knee
Medial, lateral and patellofemoral
Three compartments of the knee
Medial, lateral and patellofemoral
Main indications for TKR
Tricompartmental knee disease causing significant morbidity to patient
Demographic for high tibial osteotomy
Young or active patients with unicompartmental knee OA
Goals of TKR
- Restore neutral alignment of joint
- Restore joint line
- Balance ligaments
- Normal Q angle
