| PCL history and point of tenderness? | inability to descend stairs; anteromedial joint line tenderness |
| PCL tests? | Posterior sag, posterior drawer |
| Medial and lateral colateral ligament tests? | Valgus and varus stress tests |
| Menisci injuries mechanism and presentation? | Meniscus injury often results in a "locked-up" knee and is usually due to traumas that have a twisting component |

| Hangman's fracture: | an unstable fracture of the C2 pedicles, with forward displacement of C1 and the body of C2 on C3 |
| Clay Shoveler’s Fracture: | Avulsion fracture of spinous process of C6 or C7, occurs as a result of rotation of trunk relative to neck; stable with no neurologic deficit |

| Bankart: | inferior rim of glenoid in anterior dislocation of shoulder |
| Developmental Dysplasia of Hip; Galeazzi Sign: | Observe for inequality of knee height when hips and knees flexed with feet flat on examining table (False negative if bilateral: 20% of cases) |
| Developmental Dysplasia of Hip; Ortolani: | attempt to relocate hip into acetabulum: Gently abduct the hip while applying upward force |
| Developmental Dysplasia of Hip; Barlow: | attempting to sublux unstable hip: adduct the hip while applying downward force |

| Management of ankle sprain | PRICE: Protection of the joint with splint or immobilizing boot (always); Rest; Ice application; Compression with elastic and Elevation; o Rehabilitation in 48 to 72 hours and not more |
| Ankle drawer test positive in: | injury to the anterior talo-fibular ligament |
| Talar tilt positive in? | injury to the calcaneo-fibular ligament |
| Ankle fracture types and their treatment? | Weber A-C; Weber A fracture of lateral malleolus can be treated like sprains, others need ORIF |
| Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) features and its test: | a chubby, 12- 14 y/o boy with hip pain and inability to internally rotate the hip; Whitman's sign: with flexion there is an obligate external rotation of the hip |
| Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip features? | Painless, positive FHx, uneven gluteal folds, hip easily dislocated posteriorly and returned with a click and snapping, more in girls |
| Legg-Calve-Perthes dis | self-limited AVN of femoral head, presents at 4-10 years of age (younger age compared to slipped capital femoral epiphysis); o child with hip pain and limp, tender over anterior thigh; flexion contracture: decreased internal rotation, abduction of hip |
| Osgood-Schlatter dis | Ant knee pain due to stress reaction of the insertion of patella tendon into the tibia tubercle in young teenagers active in sports; tender lump over tibial tuberosity |
| Congenital Club Foot | 50% bilateral, occurrence M>F, severity F>M; examine hips for associated DDH; examine knees for deformity; examine back for unfused vertebral bodies) |
