Kellgren lawrence Grading of knee osteoarthritis
Grade 0 (none): Definite absence of x-ray changes of osteoarthritis
Grade I - Doubtful (joint space narrowing and osteophyte lipping)
Grade II - Minimal (Possible joint space narrowing and definite osteophytes)
Grade III - Moderate (Definite joint space narrowing, multiple osteophytes, and some sclerosis
Grade IV - Severe (Marked joint space narrowing, large osteophytes, severe sclerosis and definite deformity of bone ends)
4 Findings of interest in Kellgren Lawrence classification of Osteoarthritis
1) Joint space narrowing
2) Osteophytes
3) Subchondral sclerosis
4) Subchondral cysts

What is the most common ligamentous ankle injury? What is the mechanism of injury
Anterior talo-fibular ligament (ATFL) tear
> Forceful Inversion + plantarflexion of the foot

Intrinsic muscles of the hand: Thenar
Opponens pollicis
Abductor pollicis brevis

Intrinsic muscles of the hand: Hypothenar

Attachments of the ACL and the PCL
ACL - Anterior tibial plateau > Lateral femoral intercondylar notch
PCL - Posterior tibial plateau > Medial femoral intercondylar notch
Blood and Nerve supply to the ACL
MGA-PAN
> Middle geniculate artery
> Posterior articular nerve
Mechanism of injury in ACL tear
Valgus force to an internally rotated knee in hyperextension
Most sensitive test for ACL tear
Lachman’s test
> 95% sensitivity
> Positive if with mushy endpoint
Most specific test for ACL tear
Pivot shift test
> 98% specificity
> Positive if with tibial subluxation
