decrease inflammation pain-free ROM strengthening partial/total meniscectomy - WB as tolerated, caution > 90' flexion 1st six weeks, no deep squatting or cutting sports 3-4 months
135
ACL
medial tibial plateau, superior posterior-lateral to lateral femoral condyle (BUL = BACK, UP and LATERAL) restrains anterior tibial translation, medial tibial rotation, tibial varus/valgus
136
ACL MOI
excessive anterior translation contact - valgus stress on lateral knee (terrible triad) non-contact - pivot/cutting mvmts tibia ER or tibia IR on fixed femur planted foot rapid deceleration forceful hyperextension - skiiiers jump
137
ACL signs/symptoms
audible "pop" or "snap" pain - constant throbbing, aching, increased WB hemarthrosis joint effusion knee "giving out" or instability reduced ROM
138
ACL interventions
decrease pain decrease swelling - ultrasound, ice bracing crutches strengthening - CKC to OKC - quarter squats proprioception training increase ROM surgery - ACL reconstruction (no blood supply)
139
PCL
attaches from lateral tibial plateau, runs superior-anterior-medial to the medial femoral condyle restrains excessive posterior tibial translation, medial tibial rotation, tibial valgus/varus stronger + thicker than ACL - less likely to tear
