4LS: Patient is a 12-year-old moderately obese black male who is an avid baseball fan and plays league ball. He has had complaints of R knee pain for most of the last year that was always worse with activity. Following his slide into home plate during his game last week he noticed that his knee pain has become constant and he also experiences groin pain and thigh pain. The doctor covering the games said it was probably a muscle pull and gave him a referral to see you after the game. Other Specifics Pain is constant NPRS= Worst 10/10, best 5/10 Agg= standing, moving hip in any direction but especially IR Ease= holding leg like I have it now (slightly flexed, ER) 1. What is your hypothesis for this case? indicate at least two risk factors supporting it. 2. What explains the knee pain? 3. What is the best physical therapist response to these findings and why?
1. SCFE: desire for open pac position of hip, age 2. having a slipped femoral disc would cause referral pain to the knee --> unstable hips lead to more stress on the knee 3. education about condition, unloading with crutches for the time being, consider surgery

In addition, other symptoms include stiffness after prolonged sitting and at the beginning of tennis matches (plays 3x per week). Past medical history includes prostate cancer 3yrs ago, surgically removed. Has noticed a loss of ~15#s in the last month. Other Specifics Pain is intermittent, worse at end of day and stiff in AM NPRS= worst 4/10, best 0-1/10 Agg= as described above, initial movements of getting out of sedan cause some pain. Ease=frequent changes of position, hot showers at night. 1. What are two primary hypotheses for this patient based on the information given? 2. Which of these hypotheses is more likely?
1. What are two primary hypotheses for this patient based on the information given? Hip OA: morning stiffness + stiffness after prolonged sitting, increase in pain with activity; eases with changes of position Bone Cancer: weight loss, history of cancer 2. Which of these hypotheses is more likely? Hip OA (aggravating and alleviating factors consistent with OA, no other symptoms of cancer); non-constant/intermittent pain; cancer removed 3 years ago

2.2A: Which injury to the articular cartilage has the best prognosis for healing on its own? A small, superficial tear to the articular cartilage. An injury that extends to the subchondral bone.
A small, superficial tear to the articular cartilage. An injury that extends to the subchondral bone.
2.2A: Which meniscus injury likely has the best prognosis for healing? A tear in the inner one-third of the medial meniscus A tear in the outer one-third of the lateral meniscus A tear in the middle one-third of the lateral meniscus A tear in the middle one-third of the medial meniscus
A tear in the inner one-third of the medial meniscus A tear in the outer one-third of the lateral meniscus A tear in the middle one-third of the lateral meniscus A tear in the middle one-third of the medial meniscus
3LS: A 5-year-old male child presents with complaints of inability to walk. The parents report that the child was walking fine yesterday and woke up today, limped a little and now will not walk. The child is afebrile (not feverish), reports no trauma or falls. What is the most likely condition?
Acute transient synovitis (refuses to walk, age matches the demographic)
4.3A: Which ligament is not often spared during a total knee replacement? ACL PCL MCL LCL
ACL
4LS: What three structures are commonly injured in the knee with valgus and internal rotation injury mechanisms. What about these structures causes them to commonly be injured together?
ACL, MCL, medial meniscus ACL resists internal rotation - if internal rotation force goes too far it will cause an ACL rupture. Medial knee structures that are attached / within the joint capsule (MCL and medial meniscus share attachment) are also stressed by internal rotation, and are ruptured with too much internal rotation as well.
1.6A: A 34-year-old patient presents with posterior ankle pain that has persisted for 5 months. The ankle pain began after a long run while training for a marathon. Pain is 3/10 on a numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) and is eased with rest. The patient reports a failed course of ibuprofen. The physical therapist noticed reduced passive ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and a palpable thickening on the posterior aspect of the ankle. What is the most likely diagnosis? Achilles tendonosis Achilles tendonitis Sever's disease
Achilles tendonosis Achilles tendonitis Sever's disease "The long duration and low intensity of this patient's pain signify that this is more of a chronic condition. The fact that anti-inflammatory medication did not help also helps rule out tendonitis."

4.2A: True/false: It's best to wait as long as one can endure to obtain a joint arthroplasty, since they don't last forever. True False
false "While implants do not last forever, waiting too long for joint arthroplasty can be problematic. People with severe OA may not be mobile and suffer additional comorbidities on account of the lack of mobility. Furthermore, the reduced functional status can reduce prognosis after surgery and complicate the recovery period. Exactly when to get an arthroplasty is still a bit of an art rather than a science."
