Factors that influence differential diagnosis (subjective history)

Date of Injury? Mechanism of injury? Immediate swelling or delayed swelling? History of prior injury to the knee? Gastroc‐soleus pain? Numbness/Tingling Does it feel unstable? Buckling or valgus? Pain with stairs, squatting or kneeling? Age?
