Study Notes
Viva Voce Stations
- Students have a viva voce with 4 stations.
- A coin toss determines which stations a student is assigned to.
- Potentially, 8 injuries can be assessed per student.
- 2 stations assess acute injuries.
- 2 stations assess chronic injuries.
Viva Topics
- Knee Injuries: Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury, Elbow joint dislocation, Hamstring strain, Ankle sprain, Patella tendonitis.
- Other Injuries: Osgood-Schlatters syndrome, Plantar Fasciitis, Chondromalacia patellae.
Osgood-Schlatter Disease
- Causes pain and swelling in the knee in adolescents.
- Due to growth spurts.
- Pain is below the knee joint, at the tibial tuberosity, where the kneecap meets the shinbone.
Anatomy of Osgood-Schlatter
- Damages the growth plate at the tibial tuberosity and patellar tendon.
- Can result in irregular bone growth.
- Swelling and reduced mobility occur.
Predisposing Factors for Osgood-Schlatter
- Growth spurts: during adolescence.
- Quadriceps muscle overuse: Repeated contractions weaken the ossification centre.
- Knee extension: Repeated straightening beyond the normal range.
- Tight surrounding muscles: (quadriceps) and increased tension on the patellar tendon, often worsened by sports activities with running and jumping.
- Male gender presents an increased risk.
Mechanism of Osgood-Schlatter
- Excessive subtalar pronation: This involves excessive outward rolling of the foot.
- Excessive pulling on the tibial tuberosity: Caused by the patellar tendon during growth spurts in adolescents, leading to swelling below the knee.
Treatment for Osgood-Schlatter
- Reduced load: This involves reducing activities that stress the knee.
- Orthotics: Used to limit subtalar pronation and stress on knee ligaments.
- Sports withdrawal: Temporarily resting from sports activities.
Program Modifications (Potential Treatment)
- Stretching program: Quadriceps stretch (3 x 30 seconds), seated calf stretch (5 x 30 seconds), and knee straightening (3 times per hour).
- Massage therapy: Focused on the quadriceps muscles.
- Muscle strengthening exercises: If possible.
