Clinical examination of the knee H.Mousavi Tadi,MD Department of orthopaedic Esfahan medical school Feb,2013
3
Fundamental tool to diagnosis and treatment, and should never be replaced by the findings retrieved by the imaging studies. The introduction of highly effective imaging tools like and MRI has stolen the central role of clinical evaluation, so that there's a common feeling, between patients but also between surgeons, that the diagnosis of a thorn meniscus or a ruptured ACL has to be ruled out only on the basis of an imaging study. But the efficacy of a correct clinical examination needs not to be forgotten. clinical evaluation of the knee
4
HISTORY Chief complain Present illness Past history Family history
5
General Approach History look Feel movement Muscular and neurovascular exams Special test
6
History mechanism of injury Duration of complaint Location, nature of symptoms Exacerbating or relieving maneuvers
7
Key Questions in the History Mechanism of Injury? Acute or Chronic? Location and level of pain? Able to walk? Mechanical Symptoms? (Locking, popping, catching?) Associated instability? Swelling? Exacerbating or relieving maneuvers? Previous injuries or surgeries?
8
activity level (IKDC score) I - Strenuous activity (contact sports involving pivoting and cutting) II - Moderate activity (pivot sports without contact; manual work) III - Light activity (jogging, running) IV - Sedentary activity
9
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS 1.Pain 2. Laxity 3.Locking: a: True locking b : False locking 4.Effusion
10
Clinical Examination 1) patello-femoral joint/extensor mechanism 2) articular (meniscal and chondral) lesions 3) knee instability
11
Patello-Femoral Joint Q Angle Patellar Tilt and Glide Patella tracking J sign
12
Diagnosis of a meniscal tear Joint line tenderness: Most important physical finding is localized tenderness along the medial or lateral joint line or over the periphery of the meniscus. This most often is located osteromedially or posterolaterally, Diagnostic accuracy rate 89%
13
Meniscal Palpation Tests McMurray Test
14
Meniscal Rotation Tests Apley's (grinding) test
15
Meniscal Rotation Tests Squat test
16
Meniscal Rotation Tests Thessaly test Diagnostic accuracy rate: 94%medial meniscus 96% lateral meniscus.
17
sensitivities and specificities McMurray, 70% and 71% Apley, 60% and 70% joint line tenderness, 63% and 77%
18
Abduction (Valgus) Stress Test
19
Adduction (Varus) Stress Test
20
Varus and Valgus Stress Tests Varus stress test Valgus stress test
21

22
Lachman Test
23
Anterior Drawer test
24
Posterior drawer test
25
Doorstop effect
26
Posterior Tibia Sag
27
Quadriceps Active Test
28
Slocum Anterior Rotary Drawer Test positive anterior drawer test result in neutral tibial rotation that is accentuated when the test is repeated in 30 degrees of external tibial rotation and reduced when it is performed with the tibia in 15 degrees of internal rotation indicates anteromedial rotary instability. The opposite indicates anterolateral rotary instability.

lateral pivot shift test of Macintosh
31
Jerk Test of Hughston and Losee
32
Flexion-rotation drawer test
33
Flexion-Rotation Drawer Test (Noyes)
34
External Rotation- Recurvatum Test
35
Reverse Pivot Shift Sign
36
Tibial External Rotation (Dial Test) Increased external rotation at 30 degrees that decreases at 90 degrees indicates isolated injury to posterolateral corner. increased external rotation at both 30 and 90 degrees indicates injury to both PCL and posterolateral corner.
