Week 3 Flashcards
(84 cards)
Aside from flexion and extension (major motion) and medial/lateral glide of the knee, name 3 additional minor motions of the knee.
Anteroposterior glide
Anteromedial/Posterolateral glide
During dorsiflexion, describe the location of the fibula.
Distal: Posterior glide
Proximal: Anterolateral glide
During _________________________, the location of the head of the fibula is anterolateral while the distal fibula is located posteriorly.
Dorsiflexion
During plantar flexion, describe the location of the fibula
Distal: Anterior glide
Proximal/Head: Posteromedial glide
What is another name for Tibial Stress Syndrome?
Shin splints
List the symptoms of: Tibial Stress syndrome AKA Shin splints
- Vague pain along anterolateral or posteromedial distal tibia that increases with running
- May have tight Achilles tendon
- Poss. pain on resisted plantar flexion
- Exacerbated by flat feet
Parameniscal and Baker’s cyst have common etiology, what is their cause?
Which is larger in size?
- Meniscal tear with fluid escaping and concentrating within capsule space
- Baker’s cyst is larger
In Parameniscal and Baker’s cyst, what is the best position to visualize a popliteal mass?
Knee in extension
What is Osgood-Schlatter’s disease?
Inflammation of tibial tuberosity at growth plate where patellar tendon attaches due to physical activity
What disorder matches this description:
Pain on anterior aspect of knee with resisted knee extension
Enlarged and tender tibial tubercle
Common in young teenage boys with hx of jumping
Osgood-Schlatter’s disease
What is Prepatellar bursitis?
Pressure on prepatellar bursa = inflammation = decreased gliding of tissue over the patella
Describe cause of Patellofemoral Syndrome AKA Chondromalacia Patellae
Damage to undersurface of cartilage of patella due to weakness of vastus medialis
Patella rubs against femoral condyle
What disorder matches these symptoms:
- Diffuse pain in peri or retropatellar area of knee
- Aggravated by stairs, prolonged sitting
- Palpable crepitus
- Patella maltracking
Patellofemoral Syndrome/Chondromalacia Patellae
This description matches what disorder:
Damage to undersurface of cartilage of patella due to weakness of vastus medialis
Patella rubs against femoral condyle
Patellofemoral Syndrome/Chondromalacia Patellae
What is O’Donoghue’s Triad?
Injury to MCL, ACL, Medial meniscus caused by forced flexion and abduction of knee with foot fixed upon ground
What disorder matches this description:
Injury to MCL, ACL, Medial meniscus caused by forced flexion and abduction of knee with foot fixed upon ground
Unhappy/Terrible/O’Donoghue’s Triad
Describe symptoms of Unhappy/Terrible/O’Donoghue’s Triad
medial joint line “popping”
clicking
Patellofemoral syndrome is most often caused by weakness of what muscle?
Vastus medialis
A child comes to your clinic complaining of anterior knee pain. On PE, you see an enlarged bump and tender bump on his tibia. What is the dx?
Osgood-Schlatter’s disease
Describe the movement of the foot with supination
- Adduction
- Plantar flexion
- Inversion
Describe the movement of the foot with pronation
- Abduction
- Dorsiflexion
- Eversion
List three ligaments of the ankle
Posterior Talofibular ligament
Anterior talofibular ligament
Calcanofibular ligament
What portion of the talus is wider?
Anterior
Why does standing in heels make the ankle more unstable?
The stability of tibiofibular is reduced in plantar flexion because tibiofibular glide is over the more narrow posterior talus
