27
What are the four ligaments of the knee (name and abbreviations)?
28
What is the name of cartilage disks in the knee?
ACL PCL MCL LCL
29
Knee ligament injury occurance
MCL, LCL, ACL., PCL
30
LCL role
Helps keep the outer side of your knee joint stable
31
LCL
Sprain to LCL is a less common sports injury Hit to the medial portion of the knee
32
MCL role
Prevent the leg from extending too far inward
33
MCL
Sprain to MCL is a common sports injury Hit to the lateral portion of the knee
34
PCL role
One of the main stabilizers of the knee joint and serves primarily to resist excessive posterior translation of the tibia relative to the femur
35
PCL
Injured when the lower leg moves forcefully in a posterior direction Injured when the femur gets pushed forward while the tibia is held in place
36
ACL
Injured when the tibia moves forcefully in an anterior direction Injured when femur gets pushed backward while tibia is held in place Quick rotational movements without contact, stops and starts, awkward landings Non-contact injury
37
ACL role
Resists the combined motions of anterior tibial translation and internal tibial rotation
38
What is the importance of the Q-angle?
Is an anatomical main cause to an ACL injury It increases the lateral pull of the quadriceps, making the ACL more vulnerable In addition, females tend to have a narrower intercondylar notch, which predisposes to increased ACL injury
39
What are common signs/symptoms of femoral fracture?
40
What are common signs/symptoms of myositis ossificans?
41
What are common signs/symptoms of thigh muscle strain?
42
What are common signs/symptoms of patellar dislocation/subluxation?
Severe pain and abnormal movement of the patella when the injury occurred Patella may be obviously out-of-place Swelling and extreme pain along the medial aspect of the patella
43
What are common signs/symptoms of Osgood-Schlatter Disease?
Pain and tenderness about the patellar tendon complex Swelling in the area Decreased ability to use the quads Area of over tibial tuberosity may become solid when palpated
44
What are common signs/symptoms of jumper's knee?
Pain and tenderness around the patellar tendon complex that may spread to tibial tuberosity Decreased ability to use quadriceps for running or jumping Symptoms that worsen the activity
45
What are common signs/symptoms of chondromalacia?
46
What are common signs/symptoms of torn meniscus?
Pop or snap when the knee was injured May not see any significant swelling May not be painful Loss of ROM Can continue participation Giving out of the knee periodically
47
What are common signs/symptoms of ACL tear?
Knee was forced beyond normal ROM Pain at the site of the injury Swelling around the knee Knee feels unstable Snapping or popping sensation at the time of injury
48
What are common signs/symptoms of MCL sprain?
49
What should be done in providing first aid care for femoral fracture?
50
What should be done in providing first aid care for myositis ossificans?
51
What should be done in providing first aid care for thigh muscle strain?
52
What should be done in providing first aid care for patellar dislocation/subluxation?
Apply ice and compression Elevate Splint entire leg Transport to a medical facility

What should be done in providing first aid care for Osgood-Schlatter Disease?
Apply ice and compression Refer to physician for specific diagnosis Until inflammation subsides, rest
54
What should be done in providing first aid care for jumper's knee?
55
What should be done in providing first aid care for chondromalacia?
