Q

What is the return to sport criteria after a hamstring injury?

A

Full strength without pain:
- tested in prone at 90 deg and 15 deg
- max effort with 4 consecutive efforts
- less than 5% bilateral deficit in eccentric hamstrings
Full ROM without pain
Replication of sport specific movements @ near max speed
- use incremental sprint testing for athletes

Q

pros/cons to allografts, artificial graft

A

-efficient but some issues:

-incorporate less completely and more slowly than autografts
-require sterilization and are expensive.
-Recent studies do not support their use in younger patients, especially in young females

-artificial graft: Short-term results were encouraging, but after one year, issues began, and they all failed over time. Any graft must be biologic if the long-term health of the joint is to be preserved.

red zone- good blood supply, outer 1/3

33

A

-superficial= deep fascia, sartorius
-middle – superficial medial ligament

-deep :
-tibial collateral ligament (MCL)- deep & superficial components, intimate meniscal attachment, posterior femur to anterior tibia, taut in extension/lax in flexion, prevents valgus/ER
-LCL fibular collateral ligament – cord like, anterior femurposterior fibula, taut in extension/lax in flexion, limits varus/ER

34
Q

laxity classification

A

grade I: <3-5mm
grade II: 5-10mm
Grade III: >10mm

35
Q

meniscus special tests

thessaly

36
Q

-greatest strain on ACL exercises

A

-isometric quad at 15 deg
-squatting with sport cord
-active flex/ext w/ weighted boot
-Lachman test
-squatting

37
Q

least strain exercises on ACL

A

isometric quad from 30-90 deg
-simultaneous quad/hamstring contraction at 60-90deg

38
Q

PCL- motor control focus

A

popliteus shares role of PCL in checking posterior translation of tibia

quads reduce strain on PCL most between 20-60 deg

gastroc greatest strain on PCL when knee flexed >40 deg

Hamstring also posterior shear

39

LCL

40

-following flexed knee with foot in pf
-anterior blow to knee from dashboard
-sudden extreme hyperextension

41
Q

popliteus- when does it act as stabilzer

A

when ER torque applied to knee flexed between 60-90

42
Q

functions of popliteus

A

-tibial IR
-inhibits ER Of tibia
-femoral ER when tibia is fixed

43
Q

deep peroneal nerve entrapment symptoms

A

N/T in web space of 1st/2nd toes

44
Q

deep posterior compartment injury- would cause what symptoms

A

tibial nerve
N/T in plantar surface of 1/2nd toes

45
Q

Osgood schlatter vs sinding larsen johnson syndrome

A

both anterior knee pain with bumps often present

Osgood- localized to tibial tubercle

SLJ- inferior pole of patella (proximal attachment of patellar tendon)

46

A

gapping >1-2mm = grade II MCL sprain & cruciate ligament injury

(at 20 deg flexion)

52
Q

segond fracture

A

cortical avulsion fracture off lateral tibia, distal to plateau at site of mid 1/3 LCL insertion

high association with ACL injury
