    Study Notes

    Baker's Cyst and Injuries

    • Baker's cyst affects the popliteal space behind the knee.
    • Ossification of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) is characteristic of myositis ossificans.
    • Patients with an ACL injury struggle most with performing activities requiring pivoting motions.
    • A Grade III MCL injury corresponds to complete laxity of the ligament.

    Surgical Procedures and Strengthening

    • Surgical intervention for Anterior Compartment Syndrome involves fasciotomy to relieve pressure.
    • Prioritize strengthening hamstrings over quads in orthopedic rehabilitation to support knee stability.

    Ankle and Achilles Injuries

    • The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) is commonly injured in ankle sprains resulting from plantarflexion and inversion.
    • Main management approach for Achilles Tendinitis in early stages includes rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medications.

    Plantar Fascia and Foot Injuries

    • Plantar fasciitis is marked by inflammation of the plantar fascia, causing first-step pain in the morning.
    • Kleiger’s Test assesses the integrity of the deltoid ligament, often affected in avulsion fractures of the medial malleolus.

    Avascular Necrosis and Knee Conditions

    • Focus of management for Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the navicular bone involves activity modification and supportive care.
    • Anterior drawer test is commonly used to evaluate anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) stability.

    Osteoarthritis and Pain Syndromes

    • Chondromalacia patellae results in chipping of the medial femoral condyle due to knee osteoarthritis.
    • Primary management of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) includes patellar taping and the use of lateral buttress splints.

    Symptoms and Special Tests

    • Common symptom associated with PFPS includes pain during activities like stair climbing.
    • The McConnell test assesses patellofemoral pain by reproducing symptoms with patellar movement against the femur.

    Anatomical and Injury Presentation

    • Conditions like developmental dysplasia of the hip lead to a broad pelvis, increased anteversion, and genu valgum.
    • The primary mechanism for MCL injuries often arises from a direct lateral force to the knee.
