Question
Answer
Muscles of the Quadriceps   Vastus intermedius, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis oblique

🗑
Muscles of the Pes Anserinus   Sartorius, gracilis, semitendinosus  
🗑
Characteristics of Grade I MCL sprain   Little fiber tearing/stretching, stable valgus test, little or no jt effusion, some stiffness & point tenderness on lateral aspect, relatively normal ROM  
🗑
Characteristics of a Grade II MCL sprain   Complete tear of deep capsular lig & partial tear of superficial layer of MCL, no gross instability (laxity at 30° of flexion), slight swelling, mod to severe jt tightness w/ decreased ROM, pain along medial aspect  
🗑
Characteristics of Grade III MCL sprain   Complete tear of supporting ligs, complete loss of med stability, min to mod swelling, immediate pain followed by ache, loss of motion due to effusion & HS guarding, + valgus stress test  
🗑
Etiology of a LCL sprain   Result of VARUS force, generally w/ tibia IR, damage can also occur to the cruciate ligs, ITB, and meniscus  
🗑
Etiology of a MCL sprain   Result of severe blow from lateral side, VALGUS force  
🗑
Signs & symptoms of a LCL sprain   Pain & tenderness over LCL, swelling & effusion around LCL, joint laxity w/ VARUS testing, may cause irritation of the peroneal nerve  
🗑
Etiology of a Non-contact ACL tear   80% more likely, multiple forces collectively acting on jt, decelerating from jump or running, foot contacts geound with heel or flatfoot, WB creates axial force with knee near full ext & ABD or in knee valgus  
🗑
Etiology of a Contact ACL tear   Decelerating & usually changing directions, foot is planted with knee abducted, contact occurs lat & post forcing knee into valgus & IR with ant shear  
🗑
Signs & Symptoms of an ACL tear   Experience a pop with severe pain & disability, rapid swelling at joint line  
🗑
Etiology of a PCL tear   Most risk at 90° of flexion, fall on bent knee is most common, can also be as a result of a rotational force, “dashboard injury”  
🗑
Signs & Symptoms of a PCL tear   Feel a pop in back of the knee, tenderness & relatively little swelling in the popliteal fossa  
🗑
Etiology of Meniscal Lesions   Med meniscus more commonly injured due to ligamentous attachments & decreased mobility (torsional & valgus forces), most common MOI is rotary force with knee flexed/extended, tears may be long, obl, or transverse  
🗑
Sign & Symptoms of Meniscal Lesions   Effusion developing over 48-72 hr period, jt line pain & loss of motion, intermittent locking & giving way, pain w/ squatting, portions may become detached, if chronic recurrent swelling or muscle atrophy may occur  
🗑
Etiology of Knee Plica   Irritation of the plica, mediopatellar plica & often associated w/ chondromalacia  
🗑
Signs & Symptoms of Knee Plica   Possible history of knee pain/injury, recurrent episodes of painful pseudo-locking, possible snapping & popping, pain w/ stairs & squatting, little or no swelling, and no lig laxity  
🗑
Etiology of Osteochondral Fractures   Same MOI as collateral/cruciate ligs or meniscus injuries, twisting, sudden cutting or direct blow, fractures of cartilage & underlying bone varying in size & depth  
🗑
Signs & Symptoms Osteochondral Knee Fractures   Hear a snap & feeling of giving way, immediate swelling & considerable pain, diffuse pain along jt line  
🗑
Etiology of Osteochrondritis Dissecans   Partial or complete separation of articular cartilage & subchondral bone, cause is unknown but may include blunt trauma, endocrine abnormalities, prominent tib spine impinging on fem condyle, or impingement due to patellar facet  
🗑
Signs & Symptoms of Osteochrondritis Dissecans   Aching pain with recurrent swelling & possible locking, possible quad atrophy & point tenderness  
🗑
Etiology of Peroneal Nerve Contusion   Compression of peroneal nerve due to direct blow  
🗑
Signs & Symptoms of Peroneal Nerve Contusion   Local & possible shooting pain, numbness & paresthesia in cutaneous distribution of nerve, added pressure may exacerbate cond, generally resolves quickly but if it does not, can result in foot drop  
🗑
Etiology of Bursitis   Acute, chronic or recurrent swelling, prepatellar = continued kneeling, infrapatellar = overuse of patellar tendon  
🗑
Signs & Symptoms of Bursitis   Prepatellar Bursitis may be localized swelling above knee that is “ballotable”, swelling popliteal fossa may indicate Baker’s Cyst  
🗑
Signs & Symptoms of Baker’s Cyst   Swelling in popliteal fossa, associated with semimem bursa or med head of gastroc, commonly painless & causes little disability, may progress & should be treated accordingly  
🗑
Etiology of Patellar Fracture   Direct or indirect trauma (severe pull of trauma), semi-flexed position with forcible contraction (falling, jumping, or running)  
🗑
Signs & Symptoms of Patellar Fracture   Hemorrhaging and joint effusion w/ generalized swelling, indirect fractures may cause capsular tearing, separation of bone fragments, & possible quad tendon tearing, little bone separation w/ direct injury  
🗑
Etiology of Acute Patellar Subluxation or Dislocation   Deceleration w/ simultaneous cutting in opposite direction (valgus force), quad pulls patella out of alignment, some individuals may be predisposed, repetitive subluxation will stress medial restraints  
🗑
Signs & Symptoms of Acute Patellar Subluxation or Dislocation   Pain and swelling, restricted ROM, palpable tenderness over adductor tubercle, results in total loss of function  
🗑
Etiology of Injury to Infrapatellar Fat Pad   Irritated by chronic kneeling, pressure or trauma, capillary hemorrhaging and swelling, chronic irritation may lead to scarring and calcification  
🗑
Signs & Symptoms of Injury to Infrapatellar Fat Pad   Pain below the patellar lig (esp during knee ext), may display weakness, mild swelling and stiffness during mvmt  
🗑
Etiology of Chondromalacia of the Patella   Softening and deterioration of articular cartilage, often associated with abnormal patella tracking  
🗑
Three Stages of Chondromalacia   1) swelling and softening of cartilage 2) fissure of softened cartilage 2) deformation of cartilage surface  
🗑
Signs & Symptoms of Chondromalacia of the Patella   Pain w/ walking, running, stairs, and squatting, possible recurrent swelling, grating sensation w/ flex & ext, painat inf border during palpation.  
🗑
Etiology of Patellofemoral Stress Syndrome   Result of lat deviation of patella while tracking in femoral groove (tight structures, pronation, increased Q-angle, insufficient medial musculature)  
🗑
Signs & Symptoms of Patellofemoral Stress Syndrome   Tenderness of lat facet of patella & swelling associated w/ irritation if synovium, dull ache in center of knee, patellar compression will elicit pain & crepitus, apprehension when patella is forced laterally  
🗑
An apophysitis occuring at the tibial tubercle (repeated avulsion of patellar tendon), begins cartilaginous & develops a bony callus, enlarging the tubercle, resolves with maturation   Osgood-Schlatter Disease  
🗑
Signs & Symptoms of Larsen-Johansson Disease   Elicits swelling, hemorrhaging, and gradual degeneration of the apophysis due to impaired circulation, pain with running and jumping, pain with sudden ext  
🗑
Etiology of Patellar Tendinitis (Jumper’s or Kicker’s Knee)   Jumping or kicking - placing tremendous stress and strain on patellar or quad tendon, sudden or repetitive ext  
🗑
Signs & Symptoms of Patellar Tendinitis   Pain and tenderness at inf pol of patella  
🗑
Three Phases of Patellar Tendinitis   1) pain after activity 2) pain during and after 3) pain during and after (possibly prolonged) and may become constant  
🗑
Etiology of PatellarTendon Rupture   Sudden, powerful quad contraction, generally does not occur unless chronic inflam cond persists resulting in Tissue degeneration, occurs primarily at point of attachment  
🗑
Signs & Symptoms of Patellar Tendon Rupture   Palpable defect, lack of knee ext, considerable swelling & pain (initially)  
🗑
General expression for repetitive/overuse cond attributed to malalignment & structural asymmetries, irritation at band’s insertion, commonly seen in individual that have genu varum or pronated feet   Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome (Runner’s or Cyclist’s Knee)  
🗑
Result of genu valgum and weak vastus medialis, often occurs due to running w/ one leg higher than the other (running on a slope or crowned road)   Pes Anserine Tendinitis or Bursitis  
🗑
