Knee History

• Role play

Knee History

 Nature of the problem – pain, swelling, catching/locking, giving way

 Duration

 Mechanism of injury

 Location of pain

 Radiation of the pain

 Aggravating factors

 Relieving factors

 Pain during and/or after activity

 Rx to date; Past Hx; ROS; FHx; Meds;

Allergies;

 “Other”-reason for visit at this time; sporting history; legal

LOOK

Standing :

Alignment

Knee: Normal, Recurvatum, Holds in Flexion

Varus (finger distance between knees)

Valgus (intermalleolar distance)

Deformity

Visible swelling front or popliteal space

Feet: Pes planus, Pes cavus, Overpronation

Alignment

Feet

Overpronation

Baker’s cyst

LOOK

Walking :

Gait: Antalgic favours: Right or Left

Varus thrust

PWB NWB

AIDS: crutches/cane/w/c

LOOK

Sitting

Skin -

Redness/Blueness/Mottled/Abrasions/Scar/E cchymosis

Muscle – contract quads- Lateral Tracking

(“J” Sign)

Tibia: Internal Rotation

External Rotation

FEEL

Palpate Point(s) of Maximal Tenderness:

Bones: joint lines (knee bent), femoral condyles

(knee bent), patellar facets, tibial plateau/tubercle, fibula

Ligaments: MCL, LCL

Tendons: Patellar, Quad, Hamstring, ITB, Pes

Anserine

Can also feel soft tissue swelling and muscle bulk (atrophy)

Surface Anatomy: Practice

Pes Anserine

MOVE

Range of Motion: Active, Passive, Resisted

Extension

Flexion

Feel for Crepitus (retropatellar during active flexion/extension)

Hip screen: at least passive Flex + IR + ER

(Ext/Abd/Add if abnormal)

Special Tests

• Meniscus

• Ligaments

• Patella

Meniscus: Anatomy

Meniscus: History

• Usually specific incident: most often twisting injury

• Often associated with swelling, can have catching and/or locking

• Pain with squatting, kneeling, twisting

• Medial or lateral pain but sometimes difficult to localise

Meniscus: Physical Exam

• Often have small to medium effusion: bulge test

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsgutijmX7

U

• Pain with passive flexion OR 2.3

• Joint line tenderness Sens 76% Spec 29%

Meniscus: Physical Exam

• McMurray: externally rotate and abduct for medial, internally rotate and adduct for lateral, click with pain is positive.(Sens 52% Spec

97%)

• Thessaly: twist on affected knee with 20 o of flexion, pain is positive. (Sens 96% Spec

95%)

• Apley Grind: patient prone, apply load to knee and grind, pain is positive. (Very little data)

Meniscus: Thessaly

Practice

• Passive flexion and extension

• Bulge test

• McMurray’s

• Thessaly’s

Ligaments: Anatomy

MCL: Anatomy

ACL: Anatomy

Ligaments: History

• Mechanism of injury:

– Collaterals: valgus or varus force

– ACL: plant and twist, hyperextension or quick deceleration

– PCL: direct anterior force on bent knee

(dashboard injury or fall onto tibia of flexed knee)

• May have heard/felt a pop

• ACL: immediate large swelling

• Feeling of instability

MCL/LCL: Physical Exam

• LOOK – soft-tissue swelling

• FEEL - tenderness over ligament

• TEST- at 0 and 20 degrees-test for pain and laxity to differentiate grade of injury

PCL: Physical Exam

• Mild to moderate effusion

• May not have any palpable tenderness but can feel step-off

• Posterior Sag/Posterior drawer test

PCL: Posterior Sag

PCL: Posterior Drawer

ACL Physical Exam:

• Hemarthrosis: large effusion (patellar tap)

• May have associated meniscal or MCL tear

• Can have avulsion fracture lateral tibial plateau so tenderness there common

• Lachman (15-30 o flexion) most sensitive and specific knee test, Anterior Drawer, Pivot Shift (if MCL intact and no meniscus tear)

 Anterior drawer: Sens 48% Spec 87%

 Pivot shift: Sens 61% Spec 97% (but only studied by its developers)

 Lachman’s: Sens 87% Spec 93%, LR+ 42.0

ACL: Lachman’s

Practice

• Lachman’s (or Drop Leg Lachman’s)

• MCL & LCL Collateral tests (at 0 and 20)

• Posterior Drawer

Patella: Anatomy

Patella: History

• Anterior knee pain

• Often worse going down stairs, squatting, kneeling

• Sometimes pain will cause quads inhibitionpatients get giving way

Patella: Physical Exam

• Look for contributing biomechanical factors: genu valgus, femoral anteversion, pes planus/overpronation

• Tender patella facettes, retropatellar crepitus

• J-sign

• Assess patella: Laxity/apprehension, compression/Osmond-Clark

• Assess for correctable factors:

– Tightness: hamstrings, IT Band (Ober’s)

– Strength: VMO, abductors

Patella: Obers

Practice

• Palpation of patellar facets

• J-sign

• Laxity/apprehension

• Compression test

• Ober’s

• Hip Abductor strength
