Anatomy

 Bones




Femur
Tibia- total weight bearer of the femur
Fibula- has nothing to do with knee movement
Patella- largest sesamoid bone, has no ligament
attachment, increases leverage of quads

Anatomy cont.

 Cartilage- hard and smooth called menisci
 Between tibia and femur, fibrous tissue, attaches to
tibia be collateral ligament, membrane like, blood
supply from popliteal artery (very poor)
 Synovial fluid feeds menisci why it doesn’t heel well
 Cushioner
 Gives minor side to side stability
 There is a lateral and medial meniscus.

Anatomy cont.

 Medial meniscus- c-shaped attaches medial collateral
ligament
 Lateral meniscus- o shaped, no ligament attach
Ligaments

 Cruciate Ligament - cross inside knee joint
 Prevent anterior and posterior movement in knee from
occurring
 Anterior cruciate (ACL)- connects medial lateral femur
condyle to the anterior tibia. Most commonly injured
of the cruciate
 Posterior cruciate (PCL)- connects medial femur
condyle to posterior of tibia. Major stabilizer of the 2
ligaments
Collateral Ligaments

 Gives side to side stabilization
 Medial collateral ligament (MCL)- board, flat,
connects upper condyle to upper tibia sheft,
strongest of the two and most commonly injured
 Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL)- 2-3 inches, cord
like in shape, connects lateral condyle of femur to tip
of tibia
Knee Capsule

 Surrounds the knee, thickest in back, synovial
membrane, includes bursea and connects supplies 2
quarts of synovial fluid/day, lubricates knee

Bursea

 18 bursea in the knee
 Deep infrapatellar- located below patella behind
patella ligament of tibia
 Suprapatellar- below patella, in front of tibia
 Prepatella- between patella and skin
 Pes Anserine- between medial tibia and pes anserine
muscle group
Muscles

 80% of stability
 Flexion Hamstrings- do 80% of work
 biceps Femoris (two joint muscle), semimembranous,
semitendinsous.
 Gracilis, sartorius, gasroc, poplitis, planteris
Muscles

 Extension
 Quads




Vastus medialis- weakest
Vastus lateralis- biggest and strongest
Vastus intermedias- cant palpate
Rectus femoris- 2 joint muscle
Muscles

 External rotation- rectus femoris
 Internal rotation

Knee Exam

 History
 Acute- where is pain,





type of pain,
hear or feel anything,
snap (cruciate),
Grind or slip (Menisci),
Tear (Collateral)
How and where was blow taken
What were yoou doing
Was foot planted, swelling, discoloration, deformity
Knee Exam

 Non Acute- Is the injury old or new










Pain or discomfort sudden, gradual, when does it hurt
How long does pain last
Does it feel the same as last time you hurt it
What causes pain
What relieves pain did you hear or fell anything
What type of shoes are used
Surface
What type of movement
Was foot planted
Posture test
Test walking gate
Measure quads and gasroc
Knee Exam

 On the field






Collateral test
Lachman cruciate
Menisci
Joint line Point tenderness
If no deformity or severe movement 2 man assist
If yes- immoblize stretcher
Knee Exam

 Palpation


Both knees naked
Start with something that does not hurt

ROM

 Passive- Flexion and Extension
 Pain with passive motion joint injury
 Active – flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction
 Pain with active only muscle injury
Stress Test

 Collateral- athlete on back test in valgus and varus
stress. Place one hand on femur and other on Tibia.
Test at full extension and 1o degree of flexion
 Lachmans cruciate test- one hand on femur and one
on tibia. Little flexion 10-20 degree
 Posterior( PCL)- push tibia and pull femur
 Anterior(ACL)- push femur and pull tibia
Stress Test

 Drawer Stress test (ACL and PCL)- knee at 45
degree
 Sit on athletes foot, thumbs on joint line, fingers
around knee, relax tendons
 Pull up on tibia for anterior
 Push down on tibia for posterior
Stress test

 Mensical test
 Palpation joint line
 McMurray Click
 Positioning- athlete laying on back, flex leg to chest
passively, hand on joint line, rotate foot as doing internal
rotation repeat lateral
 Positive test- pain, click with old tear
 Apley grind
 Positioning- athlete on stomach, knee at 90. Push down
on foot. Internally and externally rotate foot.
Stress Test

 Apley distraction- Tests for collateral ligament.
 Positioning- Athlete on stomach. Leg at 90 degree.
Pull foot internally and externally rotate foot.
Stress Test

 Patella apprehension- Tests for subluxation of the
patella. Push patella to the outside
 Chondromalcia test- degeneration of posterior
patella. Make c over knee with hand, push down
and have athlete contact knee.
 I don’t recommend doing if you want your athletes to
trust you again.
