Yochum RN, DC, DACBR, RMSK Iliotibial Band Syndrome Ligamentous Tears (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL) Meniscal Tears Cartilage Degeneration Quadriceps/Patellar tendinosis Osteochondral Defect Iliotibial Band Syndrome Friction syndrome Common in runners or cyclists Fluid between ITB and Lateral femoral condyle 1

2 Ligament Injury Grade 1: Minor Sprain Fluid within the ligament without visualized disrupted fibers Grade 2: Severe Sprain/Partial tear Discontinuous fibers Grade 3: Complete tear Signs of Injury Non visualization of the ligament Fluid in the region of the ligament Displacement of the normal ligament fibers Bone marrow edema Cruciate Ligaments Anterior Cruciate Ligament Origin: Lateral femoral condyle (medial) Insertion: Medial tibial eminence (anterior) Function: Resists anterior translation of tibia Synovial membrane envelope 2 Bundles Anteriomedial: Smaller Tight in flexion Posteriolateral: Larger Tight in extension 2

11 Lateral/Fibular Collateral Ligament Tear Posterior lateral corner injury LCL, Biceps Femoris, Popliteus (Multiple Ligaments) Meniscal Anatomy Medial C Shaped Has attachments to the Medial Collateral Ligament Lateral O Shaped Roots attach to the tibia and if torn allow extrusion Transverse ligament anteriorly can be confused with a tear Types of Meniscal Tears Horizontal: Type of degenerative tear Radial: traumatic Bucket Handle: surgical case Double PCL sign Double Delta 11

12 Meniscal injury Grading system Grade I Amorphous area of increased signal that does not reach with an articular surface Corresponds to mucoid degeneration not believed to cause symptoms Grade 2 Band of increased signal with more linear shape Does not communicate with an articular surface Grade 3 Increased signal intensity that reaches the articular surface Meniscal Tears 12

19 The entity previously known as SONK Spontaneous Osteonecrosis of the Knee Demographics Elderly patients, more commonly females Usually no history of trauma Location Usually unilateral Strong predilection for medial compartment Femoral Condyle Etiology debated Previously considered Osteonecrosis Currently considered insufficiency fracture Focal Osteonecrosis Related to microtrauma Prognosis >2.3cm = increased incidence of OA >5cm poor prognosis (Necrotic segment may collapse) Alicia.Yochum@rmcrc.com 19
