Q

key pathophysiology of OA

A
increased water content
chondrocytes die
aggrecan keeps up production but then can't 
fibrillation 
subchondral bone sclerosis

Q

superficial and deep function/ content of hyaline cartilage

A
superficial= decreases friction- smooth surface, parallel collagen fibres, few chondrocytes
DEEP= load bearing, perpendicular fibres and greater cell numbers

Q

what is Hilton’s law

A

pain from hip refers down to knee

24
Q

management conservative OA

A
walking aids
orthotics
analgesia
physio
education
25
Q

surgical options for OA

A

arthroplasty
osteotomy
arthrodesis
uni-compartmental

26
Q

x-rays for a knee OA views

A
AP
lateral
patellar skyline
weight bearing
with valgus stress test
27
Q

presentation knee OA

A
varus deformity
worse pain on movement
limited walking
antalgic gait
fixed flexion deformity
swelling
weak/waste quads
28
Q

2 main types of knee OA

A

medial compartment

patellar femoral

29
Q

what causes posterior knee pain in knee OA

A

baker cyst

30
Q

when is patellar femoral knee pain worse

A

climbing stairs

31
Q

knee OA grade 0

A

no radiographic features

32
Q

knee OA grade 1

A

doubtful JSN, possible osteophytes

33
Q

2 knee oa grade

A

definite osteophyte formation, possible JSN

34
Q

3 knee OA grade

A

multiple osteophytes, definitie JSN, sclerosis, possible bony deformity

35
Q

4 knee OA grade

A

large osteophytes
marked JSN
severe sclerosis
definite bony deformity

36
Q

what is trochanteric bursitis

A

point of tenderness over GT

inflammation of bursa

37
Q

causes of trochanteric bursitis

A
injury
overuse
incorrect posture
disease
previous surgery
calcium depositis
38
Q

what age is trochanteric bursitis more common

A

middle aged

39
Q

complication of trochanteric bursitis

A

abductor tear as inserts onto greater tubercle

40
Q

management of trochanteric bursitis

A

analgesia

steroids injection

41
Q

collateral ligament injury presentation

A
valgus/ varus force to the knee 
slower swelling
can keep playing
painful to palpate
valgus/ varus force may open joint- instability 
no haemarthrosis 
instability with extension
42
Q

mechanism of a medial and lateral collateral ligament injury

A

direct blow
vagus for medial
varus for lateral

43
Q

management for collateral ligament injury

A

conservatively with -physio for medial
-for lateral may need to operate for reconstruction -posteerolateral corner
crutches
-operate in multi-ligament

44
Q

3 parts of the unhappy triad and force mechanism

A

medial meniscus
ACL
medial collateral ligament
twisting round foot and varus force

45
Q

history of an ACL ligament injury

A

twisting around fixed foot eg sport netball
immediate haemarthrosis (<5 minutes)
unable to play anymore
may here a pop

46
Q

exam for an ACL injury

A

anterior drawer test with no posterior sag- positive if translation of the tibia

47
Q

management of ACL injury

A

rehab for 3 months

extensive ACL reconstruction

48
Q

indication for extensive ACL reconstruction

A

young
physically active
ongoing instability
multi-liagment damage

49
Q

meniscal injury history

A

twisting injury often occur with/after ligamentous injury

may present late due to severe symptoms

50
Q

exam of a meniscal injury

A
  • mechanical symptoms: lock, click
  • inability to fully straighten knee
  • joint tenderness and effusion
51
Q

test for meniscal injury

A

provocative test- McMurray’s test

52
Q

management for meniscal injury

A
  • MRI gold standard for DX
  • conservative in degenerate tears if OA present
  • arthroscopic debridement
53
Q

posterior cruciate ligament injury history

A
  • direct blow to proximal/ anterior tibia with flexed knee
  • hyperextension or hyperflexion with plantar flexed foot
  • immediate haemarthrosis
  • rare injury
54
Q

exam for posterior cruciate ligament

A

false postive anterior drawer test- ie positive sag

55
Q

management PCL

A

conservative physio rehab

-operate in multiligament or chronic instability

56
Q

3 type of extensor mechanism injury and what age do they commonly occur

A

quads tendon rupture >40
patellar fracture-any age
patellar tendon rupture -<40
