The final step of reconstruction ligament fixation is the proximal tibial attachment of the sMCL. This soft-tissue attachment can be reproduced with a suture anchor [28] placed 12.2 mm distal to the medial joint line (average location), directly medial to the anterior arm of the semimembranosus tibial attachment. [27]
Pain at the medial joint line (medial to the inferior border of the patella) indicates medial compartment osteoarthritis, injury to the medial collateral ligament, or a medial meniscal tear. Pain at the midpoint between the anterior part of the medial joint line and tibial tuberosity is suggestive of Pes anserine bursitis (inflammation of ...
A line connecting the most anterior points of the medial and lateral facets of the trochlea. A tangent to the lateral facet of the patella. With the knee in 20° flexed, this angle should normally open laterally. [16] The patellofemoral index is the ratio between the thickness of the medial joint space and the lateral joint space (L). With the ...
Knee pain, knee deformity [2] Complications: Injury to the artery behind the knee, compartment syndrome [3] [4] Types: Anterior, posterior, lateral, medial, rotatory [4] Causes: Trauma [3] Diagnostic method: Based on history of the injury and physical examination, supported by medical imaging [5] [2] Differential diagnosis
A tear in the meniscus may cause a pedunculated tag of the meniscus which may become jammed between the joint surfaces. To perform the test, the knee is held by one hand, which is placed along the joint line, and flexed to complete flexion while the foot is held by the sole (of the foot) with the other hand.
Then there is severe, which without treatment, a piece of meniscus may come loose and drift into the joint space. Tears include longitudinal, parrot-beak, flap, bucket handle, and mixed/complex. Epidemiology. Injury to the medial meniscus is about five times greater than injury to the lateral meniscus due to its anatomical attachment to the MCL ...
