This energetic 37yoM complains of right hip pain for 5 months that is interfering with his bicycling. It is worst after sitting in the car for long distance trips and is partially relieved with NSAIDS.
He denies prior injury or surgery to the hip and has not had any prior imaging. Well-appearing and fit male with no surgical scars, erythema, or lacerations about the hip. Gait pattern on entrance to exam room smooth and non-antalgic. Mild discomfort apparent when sitting with 90 degrees of hip flexion. No pain with palpation of ilium or greater trochanter. Mild pain with pressure over the tensor fascia lata. ROM: 0-130, ER 70, IR 10. 5/5 strength with hip flexion as well as knee and ankle flexion/extension. FADIR Test Positive with reproduction of symptoms, FABER mild positive Diagnosis Before Imaging? |
mild arthritis with an impingement syndrome
|
|
While examining a patient's hip joint, you can hear a "click" and the patient reports pain. Which of the following explanations would NOT define a potential source of the patient's clicking hip (coxa saltans)?
(a) Loose cartilage body within the joint (b) Irritation of the Iliopsoas tendon anteriorly (c) Partial tear of the gluteus medius tendon (d) Irritation of the Iliotibial band laterally (e) Anterior-Superior labral tear Correct answer? |
(c) Partial tear of the gluteus medius tendon

An athletic 42 yo F complains of knee pain that began during a “Zumba” exercise class two weeks ago. During a twist and bend maneuver, she felt a sharp pain medially and was unable to continue.
It swelled for 3 days then improved, but now she feels a “click” with knee motion. She reports no locking, but felt the knee almost “give way” twice this week while walking upstairs. She nearly fell but held the banister for support. She denies prior injury or surgery to the knee and has not had any prior imaging. Well-appearing and fit female with no surgical scars, erythema, effusions, or lacerations about the knee. Gait pattern on entrance to exam room smooth and non-antalgic. No cane or crutch, but she is wearing a neoprene brace. Focal Moderate pain with palpation of mid-coronal medial joint line but no pain on lateral or posterior joint lines. MCL and LCL nontender. ROM: 0-120 with hesitation in deep flexion, Contralateral knee 0-140. No crepitus. 5/5 strength with knee flexion/extension. Stable to varus and valgus stress at 0 and 30 degrees, stable A/P drawer and Lachman with firm endpoints. Mildly positive medial McMurray’s with click, negative Apley’s grind, positive pinch in deep flexion, and 20 degree Thessaly test gives reproduction of pain and giving way. Diagnosis? |
Torn meniscus!
Probably medial meniscal tear. Follow up with an MRI. |
|
Manual Muscle Testing is graded from 0-5. While examining a patient's knee extension, a Grade of 3 would indicate which of the following:
a) There is no quad muscle contraction whatsoever b) There is some quad muscle contraction but no corresponding joint motion c) There is full quad strength against gravity, but weakness with resistance testing d) There is full quad strength against gravity, but none against resistance e) There is full quad strength against gravity and resistance Correct Answer? |
d) There is full quad strength against gravity, but none against resistance
|
|
Summary points for knee exam:
|
The clinician should be able to narrow the differential diagnosis of hip and knee pain down to two to three diagnoses after the history and physical examination.
Imaging studies should ALWAYS be used to confirm the diagnosis. (Especially for CT/MRI testing) Conventional radiographs should be the initial imaging study ordered. Many vital structures in the knee can be palpated easily or examined with provocative tests. A knee effusion usually is associated with internal derangement, and an acute hemarthrosis is almost always associated with cruciate ligament rupture or fracture. |
