Q

peripheral attachment of menisci?

A

20
Q

MORE MOBILE meniscus?

A

LATERAL meniscus (fewer attachments - 2x more mobile)

21
Q

more commonly torn meniscus?

A

MEDIAL meniscus ~3x more

22
Q

more commonly torn meniscus WITH ACL tear?

A

LATERAL meniscus

23
Q

meniscal tears with highest healing potential?

A

tears in PERIPHERAL 3RD of meniscus

27
Q

“screw home mechanism”?

A

medial tibial plateau rotates externally in full extension

28
Q

function of medial patellofemoral ligament?

A

> 50% restraint to lateral subluxation

29
Q

stronger graft: patellar tendon vs quadrupled hamstring?

A

quadrupled hamstring BUT dependent on graft fixation

30
Q

history of pain after SITTING/CLIMBING?

A

PATELLOFEMORAL injury

31
Q

history of LOCKING/SQUATTING pain?

A

MENISCAL tear

32
Q

history of NONCONTACT injury with ‘POPPING’?

A

ACL tear or patellar dislocation

33
Q

history of ACUTE SWELLING?

A

ACL or meniscal tear

34
Q

history of hyperextension, varus angulation, tibial external rotation?

A

POSTEROLATERAL CORNER injury

35
Q

SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE of knee laxity?

A

> 3MM between left and right knees

36
Q

MOST SENSITIVE imaging view for EARLY ARTHROSIS?

A

WEIGHT-BEARING 45-degree POSTEROANTERIOR view

37
Q

significance of joint line tenderness?

A

meniscal tear

38
Q

components of Q-angle?

A

ASIS-patella-tibial tubercle

39
Q

indication of partial meniscectomy?

A

complex, degenerative, central/radial tears

40
Q

indication of meniscal repair?

A

peripheral longitudinal tears, young patients

41
Q

gold standard of meniscal repair?

A

vertical mattress sutures

42
Q

associated with chronic ACL deficiency?

A

higher incidence of complex meniscal tears

43
Q

graft of choice for early return to sports activity?

A

bone-patella-tendon-bone autograft (faster incorporation)

44
Q

disadvantage of BPTB autograft?

A

higher incidence of arthritis 5-7yrs after reconstruction

45
Q

why is primary ACL repair NOT recommended?

A

myofibroblasts coat end of ACL stumps, making healing impossible

46
Q

STANDARD IMAGING for evaluation and grading of PCL injuries?

A

STRESS RADIOGRAPHS

MRI only confirmatory

47
Q

rehab focus for ACL/PCL injuries?

A

ACL:hamstrings, PCL:quadriceps

48

LACHMAN (pull tibia @ 30deg flexion)

50
Q

how arthrocentesis/intraarticular knee injection is done?

A

extended knee, lateral entry point @ mid-upper patella
