exp why the knee is highly predisposed to injuries
bcs the ligaments not intact
what is the effect on the knee if dorsiflexors are weak
weak dorsiflexors = inc anterior pressure on the knee during a squat
compare medial and lateral meniscus in terms of shape
medial meniscus - C-shaped
lat meniscus - circular
which meniscus is more injured and why
medial meniscus d/t it being less movable or has more attachments
motion of patellar during knee ext
superior tracking
motion of patellar during knee flex
inferior tracking
which motions does ACL check
hyperextension, ant translation of tibia, valgus stress and IR of tibia
which motions does PCL check
flexion, post translation of tibia, varus stress and ER of tibia
if pt complains of aching what should you consider
more of degenerative changes
if pt complains of sharp pain or catching what should you consider
meniscal or plica
if pt complains of stiffness in the morning that improves with activity
more of arthritic in nature - RA or OA
if pt complains of pain in anterior knee what should you consider
PFPS
bursitis
fat pad irritation
OSD
if pt complains of pain during activity what should you consider
structural deformity - subluxation or patellar tracking disorders
if pt complains of pain after activity what should you consider
overuse, tendinosis, paratenonitis, inflammatory disorders - jumper’s knee/SLJ
if pt complains of generalized pain what should you consider
contusions of partial tear
why does joint swelling cause pain
inc fluid in synovium = inc psi = inc pain
ligament involved if MOI is valgus force c or s rotation
MCL
ligament involved if MOI is hyperextension and ant translation of tibia
ACL
ligament involved if MOI is flexion c posterior translation of tibia
PCL
ligament involved if MOI is varus force
LCL
what could the affectation be if it is sudden in onset
ligamental - cruciates and collateral
what could the affectation be if it is traumatic in onset
avulsion or tear ng muscle
what could the affectation be if it is slow in onset
more of arthritic or wear and tear
if pt complains of difficulty in stairs what do we consider
patella problem or PFPS
if MOI is twisting or pivoting while WB what can we consider
meniscal injury
if pt hears a click or pop
ACL or osteochondral fx
if lateral - popliteus
if injury occurred during acceleration + twist
consider meniscus
in injury occurred during deceleration
consider cruciate
