Q

What is the rule for return to play after a concussion?

What is the big risk if this is rushed?

A

NO SAME DAY RETURN TO PLAY
Must be asymptomatic for 24 hrs prior to starting return to play protocol -> each stage is 24 hrs and progressive -> takes about 6-7 days
BIG RISK = second impact syndrome!

Q

What are the abnormal values for the:

  1. ) Center edge angle

Q

What are the two forms of snapping hip?

What is there PE finding?

A

1.) External -> due to IT over GT
PE finding -> use Ober test, hip adduction/extension (can SEE it)
2>) Internal -> due to iliopsoas
PE finding -> extend hip from FABER (can HEAR it)

Q

What are the location of the ACL bundle insertions on the femur and tibia?

Q

Of the cruciates and collaterals which ligament is the strongest? Weakest?

A

Strongest -> MCL

Weakest -> LCL

22
Q

What are the 3 layers of the medial side of the knee?

A
  1. ) Sartorious (w/ saphenous nerve running on backside)
  2. ) sMCL, POL, SM
  3. ) deep MCL
23
Q

What rotational motion does the popliteus give the knee?

A

Internally rotates the tibia (remember it unlocks the knee from EXTension where the tibia is EXTernally rotated)

24
Q

How do you test for a posteriomedial corner injury?

A

Slocum test -> tests mostly the POL -> do this by externally rotating the tibia and giving anterior drawer stress

25
Q

What measurement should make you consider a tibial tubercle anteromedialization procedure?

A

TT-TG > 20

26
Q

What is the arcuate sign and what does it signify?

A

Avulsion of top of rim of fibula -> PLC injury!

27
Q

What does the double PCL sign mean?

What does the double anterior horn sign mean?

A
  1. ) Double PCL -> flipped medial meniscus bucket-handle tear
  2. ) Double anterior horn -> flipped lateral meniscus tear (posterior horn flipped anteriorly)
28
Q

What leads to meniscus extrusion?

A

Meniscal root tear

29
Q

What is a ramp lesion?

A

Meniscocapsular lesion

30
Q

What pathology is seen when meniscal cyst is present?

A

Horizontal meniscus tear

31
Q

When should a discoid meniscal tear be fixed?

A
  1. ) If symptomatic and/or has tear

2. ) Wrisberg variant w/ non capsular attachment

32
Q

What type of cartilage and collagen does microfracture create?
How deep must you go? How much is too deep and what is down side?

A

Fibrocartilage -> Type I collagen
Must go past/removethe calcified cartilage layer, but DO NOT pass the subchondral plate or else this leads to osseous overgrowth

33
Q

What injury creates Quadriceps avoidance gait?

What is Quadriceps avoidance gait? (3 facts/descriptors)

A

ACL injury

  1. ) Decreased stride length & avoidance of knee flexion in mid-stance phase
  2. ) Loss of normal femoral IR in terminal swing phase
  3. ) Decreased tibial anterior translation in late swing
34
Q

What ACL autograft has the highest strength and stiffness?

A

HS autograft

35
Q

ACL Tunnel placement:
What happens if your FEMORAL tunnel is too:
1.) Anterior (MC ERROR!)
2.) Posterior
What happens if your TIBIAL tunnel is too:
3.) Anterior
4.) Posterior

A

(*see drawing on slide 212/3 if needed)

  1. ) Tight in flexion
  2. ) Tight in extension
  3. ) Tight in flexion/extension will be limited (impingement on roof)
  4. ) LAX in both flexion and extension/impingement on PCL
36
Q

What does ACL injury put you at risk for?

A

At risk for re-injury to ipsilateral ACL AND to contralateral ACL

37
Q

How can ACL graft risk of infection be reduced?

A

Soak in Vancomycin

38
Q

At what amount/angle of posterior tibial slope does ACL graft failure risk increase?

A

> 12 degrees!

39
Q

What is the largest/most prominent risk factor for ACL injury?

A

40
Q

A

COL5A1 gene

41
Q

When do you fix the PCL?

When do you non-op and what treatment do you Rx?

42
Q
  1. ) How do you treat an isolated MCL tear?

2. ) Isolated LCL tear?

A
  1. ) Nonop unless -> Distal avulsion/Stener lesion
