petello femeral syndrome

Deviations of patellar tracking throughout knee flexion and extension causing pain and inflammation



Patient may report pain with: . Ascending/descending stairs . Squatting . Kneeling . Transferring hom sit to stand -Most common in women secondary to an increased Q-angle p3

Patello-Femoral Syndrome Rehabilitation includes:


. Stretching the hamstrings . Modalities as needed . Strengthening the quadriceps . (specifically the VMO) . Strengthening the hip Abductors and hip flexors . Bracing and/or taping as needed

Chondromalacia ofthe Patella .

Softening of the cartilage of the knee, usually following injury . Characterized by edema, pain, and degenerative changes Rehabilation includes: decreasing pain and inflammation, increasing strength & flexibility

patellar tendonitis

An overuse injury resulting in inflammatory changes. . Characteristics:


. Pain on palpation


. Sharp pain initially with deceleration activity


. Afterward, a dull ache is typically reported



. Conservative Treatment: . Activity modification . Eccentric exercises . Muscle Balancing . All pain free!!

dislocation of the patella

Occurs when the patella fully dislocates from within the trochlear groove of the femur. resting outside ofthe knee joint First dislocation is a pre-disposition to further dislocations secondary to the tearing of the medial patello-femoral ligament (MPFL) Treatment . Strengthening, stabilizing, and bracing

dislocation of the patella


surgical intervention

Lateral Release: the tight lateral structures are cut to allow better anatomic positioning of the patella in the trochlear groove




. Cautious movement in knee flexion is initiated early to prevent scarring down of the released structures



p6

Osteochondritis Dissecans

Joint disease in which a piece ofcartilage and neighboring bone tissue become detached from the articular surface



+ Symptoms: . Pain . Clicking in the joint . Tenderness . Edema . Stiffness

Osteochondritis Dissecans


treatment

Conservative treatment is usually successful: . Rest . Immobilization . Anti-innammatory medication . Modified activity (approx. 6-8 weeks) ' Physical Therapy: stretching, ROM, strengthening exercises and low impact cardiovascular activity 'Surgical intewention would include stabilization and/or removal of fragments

Ligament Reconstruction

: ' 2 types ofgrafts used for reconstruction purposes ' Autograh: tissue harvested from the body ofthe patient . Hamstring Achilles, patellar, quadriceps ' Allograft: tissue harvested from the body ofa donor (usually hom a cadaver)

Meniscal Injuries


Meniscus: cartilagenous tissue which serves,as an extension of the tibia providing support of the femora] condyles on the surface of the tibia Functions of the meniscus: 'Stability *ShockAbsorption *l.oad transmission 'Control of motion *Nutrition 'Lubrication

meniscal injuries


Mechanism of injury:

: flexion, rotation, . Trauma (usually a combination of knee f ] compassion, and shear) . Gradual degeneration: subtly with no specific injury

meniscal Injuries: p11


' Injuries are marked by edema, catching and/or locking within the joint ' Management of these injuries is based upon the severity and location of the tear ' Surgical Treatment: . removal ofthe damaged portion ofthe meniscus . Non-surgical Interventions: decrease pain and inflammation, increase strength and increase joint stability '

Knee Arthroplasty

Removal of the articular surface of the tibia and femur (occasiona//y fnc/fides rhe pate//a) and replacing them with metal or plastic . Primary indications for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) include: . Osteo-arthritis (OA) /Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD)
