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.
