This test is performed by the clinician stabilizing the foot of the affected limb and applying an anterior force to the knee.
What is the anterior drawer?
100
This muscle is known as the longest muscle in the body.
What is the sartorius?
100
This injury is characterized by excessive anterior translation of the tibia.
What is an ACL sprain?
100
This is the largest bone in the body.
What is the femur?
100
Overuse trauma is the usual mechanism for this type of injury.
What is a stress fracture?
200
This test is the most reliable test for an ACL sprain.
What is the Lachman's test?
200
This muscle is the most medial of the hamstring group.
What is the semimembranosus?
200
A feeling of "catching" or "clunking" in the knee is often experienced with this condition.
What is a meniscal tear?
200
This serves as the attachment site for the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus.
What is the pes anserine?
200
This test is performed by applying pressure to the patella and observing patient reactions.
What is the patellar apprehension test?
300
This test is used to test for an MCL sprain.
What is the valgus stress test?
300
This muscle causes knee extension as well as hip flexion.
What is the rectus femoris?
300
Commonly experienced in adolescents, this condition involves a great deal of pain localized to the tibial tuberosity.
What is osgood schlatters disease?
300
This bone is known as the largest sesmoid bone in the body.
What is the patella?
300
Normal knee ROM values are these.
What is approximately -10 to 145 degrees?
400
This test is performed with the patient lying prone with the knee flexed to 90, the clinician then applies a compression force followed by a distraction force.
What is the Apley's compression/ distraction test?
400
This muscle is responsible for medial rotation of the knee.
What is the popliteus?
400
Peroneal nerve damage can be associated with a severe injury of this type.
What is an LCL sprain?
400
This structure serves as the attachment site for the biceps femoris as well as the LCL.
What is the fibular head?
400
This muscle originates on the femoral condyles and inserts in the calcaneal tendon.
What is the gastrocnemeus?
500
This test, used for an ACL rupture, is performed with the patient lying supine. The clinician then passively flexes, internally rotates, and applies a valgus force to the knee.
What is the pivot shift test?
500
This muscle originates on the ischial tuberosity and inserts on the fibular head.
What is the biceps femoris?
500
O'donehughe's triad is diagnosed after having suffered damage to these three structures.
What is the ACL, MCL, and lateral meniscus.
500
This bone is non-weight bearing but is important for muscle/ligament attachments.
What is the fibula?
500
This structure lies in between the distal aspect of the patellar ligament and the tibia. It's main purpose is to reduce friction in between the patellar ligament and the tibia.
