Patellar FracturePatellar Fracture
MOI: direct or indirect MOI: direct or indirect trauma, severe pull of the trauma, severe pull of the patellar tendon when the patellar tendon when the knee is semi-flexed or a knee is semi-flexed or a fall on the knee fall on the knee
S&S: hemorrhage, joint S&S: hemorrhage, joint effusion, swelling, capsular effusion, swelling, capsular tearing, separation of tearing, separation of bone fragmnetsbone fragmnets
Rx: x-ray conformation, ice Rx: x-ray conformation, ice with compression, splint with compression, splint and crutches for walking, and crutches for walking, referral to doctor, usually referral to doctor, usually immobilized for 2-3 immobilized for 2-3 monthsmonths
Subluxation/Dislocation Subluxation/Dislocation of the Patellaof the Patella
MOI- plant and twistMOI- plant and twist S&S, obvious deformity, S&S, obvious deformity,
usually lateral usually lateral dislocation, VMO dislocation, VMO weakness, decrease in weakness, decrease in function, swelling, P! function, swelling, P! and decreased ROM and decreased ROM
Rx- reduction by a Rx- reduction by a physician, immobilize, physician, immobilize, crutches, RICE, work on crutches, RICE, work on quad strengthening, quad strengthening, patellar tracking patellar tracking
Chondromalacia Chondromalacia
MOI- abnormal patellar MOI- abnormal patellar tracking, tibial rotation, tracking, tibial rotation, pronated foot, pronated foot, anteverted hip, anteverted hip, genuvalgum, gradual genuvalgum, gradual degenerationdegeneration
S&S- gradual S&S- gradual degeneration of degeneration of cartilage, p! with cartilage, p! with activities, swellingactivities, swelling
Rx- take care of the Rx- take care of the mechanism, rest prn, mechanism, rest prn, surgical interventionsurgical intervention
Larsen-Johansson Larsen-Johansson Disease Disease
MOI- at inferior pole of MOI- at inferior pole of the patella, repetitive the patella, repetitive strain of the patellar strain of the patellar tendontendon
S&S- swelling, P! and S&S- swelling, P! and x-rayx-ray
Rx- ice, rest, wait to Rx- ice, rest, wait to stress the knee until stress the knee until the growth plates are the growth plates are closed, isometrics closed, isometrics
Osgood-Schlatter Osgood-Schlatter Disease Disease
MOI- excessive strain MOI- excessive strain of the patellar tendon of the patellar tendon
S&S- enlarged tibial S&S- enlarged tibial tuberosity tuberosity
Rx- rest, ice after Rx- rest, ice after activities, strengthen activities, strengthen quads and hamstrings quads and hamstrings
Patellar Tendon Patellar Tendon Rupture Rupture
MOI- sudden powerful MOI- sudden powerful quad contraction, quad contraction, usually previous Hxusually previous Hx
S&S- obvious S&S- obvious deformity, swelling, P! deformity, swelling, P! and patella alta and patella alta
Rx- surgical repair Rx- surgical repair
Patellar TendonitisPatellar Tendonitis
MOI- jumping or kicking MOI- jumping or kicking that is repeated that is repeated frequently that leads to frequently that leads to degeneration degeneration
S&S- P! after activity S&S- P! after activity progresses to during and progresses to during and after then gets worse after then gets worse after activity after activity
Rx- avoid the mechanism, Rx- avoid the mechanism, use heating modalities use heating modalities prior to activity, ice after, prior to activity, ice after, transverse friction transverse friction massage, rest prnmassage, rest prn
IT Band Friction IT Band Friction SyndromeSyndrome
MOI- repetitive running MOI- repetitive running or biking, usually have or biking, usually have malalignment problems malalignment problems
S&S- p! on distal S&S- p! on distal insertion, +Ober’s test insertion, +Ober’s test
Rx- PRT, fix the Rx- PRT, fix the malalignment, take the malalignment, take the mechanism awaymechanism away
