Patella Alta is MC found in

Females

Malposition of patella where in patella is low riding and causes the shortening of knee joint

Patella baja / infera

A high degree of Patella Alta

Causes the internal rotation of the patella

Squinting patella

These are common in football and skiing

MCL

Cause of MCL tears

Impact force to the lateral knee

LCL tears are usually the result of

Knee dislocations

Which is rare, MCL or LCL tears?

LCL

Cause of recurrent patellar subluxation

Overpulling of iliotibial tract

MC anterior knee pain syndrom

PFPS

Cause of PFPS

Patellar maltracking


Lateral D/L patella

Other name for Patellar Tendinitis

Jumper's Knee

MOI of Jumper's knee

Overuse syndrome

Associated with high quadriceps loading: jumping, squatting and kneeling

Jumper's knee

MC site of involvement of jumper's knee

Inferior pole of patella

Inflammation/separation where the patella tendon attaches to the tibial tuberosity

Osgood-Schlatter disease

The osgood-schlatter is more commonly found in ________, with _______y/o

men, 10-14 years old

Apophysitis of distal pole of patella

Sinding Larsen Johansson Disease

MC inflamed bursae of the knee

Prepatellar

Condition found in the prepatellar ligament

Housemaid's knee

Condition found in the superficial infrapatellar bursae

Vicar/Parson's Knee

Condition in the popliteal bursae

Baker's cyst

This diseases is more common among overweight children and from those of african-american descent

Blount's disease

Progressive bow-leg deformity associated with the abnormal growth of the posteromedial part of tibia

Blount's Disease

In knock knees, the distance between medial malleoli is

<8 cm

In Bilateral bow leg, the distance between knees is

<6 cm

Angle of a normal knee

5-7 degrees

A traumatic dislocation of the patella results from direct trauma to what group of muscles

Quadriceps (esp. Vastus Medialis)

This patellar fracture is the result of direct violence where in the patella is broken in smaller fragments

Direct patellar fracture

This patellar fracture is caused by the contraction of the quadriceps across the femoral condyles

Indirect patellar fracture

In a tibial or fibular fracture, if only one bone is fractured, the other acts as

a splint

kind of fracture that the distal third of the shaft of tibia is prone to

Delayed union or nonunion

TRUE OR FALSE: If you fracture your tibia, it usually is open to the external environment (compound fracture)

TRUE

A fracture in the proximal end of the tibia at tibial condyles are common in

middle-aged and elderly

Cause of fracture neck of talus

Violent dorsiflexion

Cause of fracture body of talus

Jumping from a height

Cause of fracture of calcaneum

Fall from a height

You can fracture your 5th metatarsal by

forced inversion

Stress fracture of the metatarsal bone is common in

joggers, soldiers, nurses, and hikers

An injury to the common peroneal nerve causes

footdrop

A ruptured achilles tendon is common in

middle-aged men and tennis players

People with Plantar Fasciitis develop

calcaneal spur

Most frequently injured ligament in the body

Anterior Cruciate Ligament

Tears of the ACL are more common in

women

This is capable in stabilizing thee kneee in presence of torn ligaments

Quadriceps femoris

This action results in partial tearing of MCL

Forced abduction

This action can result in injury to LCL

Forced adduction

What meniscus is damaged more? Medial or lateral?

Medial

Why is the medial meniscus damaged more

Limited mobility due to attachment to medial collateral ligament

This muscle can help pull the lateral miniscus in a favorable position

Popliteus

Which is more common: a sprain in the lateral or medial ankle?

Lateral ankle

A sprain on the lateral ankle is caused by

Excessive inversion of the foot with plantar flexion

A sprain at the medial ankle can be a result of

Excessive eversion

A fracture dislocation of the ankle are caused by

forced external rotation and overeversion of foot

If the fracture dislocation in the ankle occurs by forced overeversion (without rotation), what is fractured and how?

Lateral malleolus fractured transversely (horizontally)

If the fracture dislocation of the ankle occurs by forced overinversion (without rotation), what is fractured and how?

Medial malleolus fractured vertically

Lateral deviation of great toe at metatarsophalangeal joint

Hallux valgus

Hallux valgus is more common in

women

A stiff and painful metatarsophalangeal joint is called

hallux rigidus

Flat foot deformity is also called

Pes Planus

The meedial longitudinal arch is depressed or collapsed

Pes planus (flat foot)

Clawfoot deformity is also callled

Pes Cavus

The medial longitudinal arch is unduly high

Pes Cavus

MC cause of Pes cavus

Muscular imbalance from poliomyelitis

A hyperextension of the knee joint found in babies

Genu Recurvatum

This is caused by the abnormal position or restricted movement of the fetus
