Dense materials such as bone and metal show up as white on x-rays. Air in your lungs black. Fat and muscle appear in varying shades of grey. (consider weight bearing) w MRI – Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used with a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of organs and tissues (Notice: Bones are not listed here) They are 3-D images and can be viewed from various angles. Continued t w CT Scans - Computerized tomography (CT) combines a series of x-ray views from different angles and computer processing to create cross- sectional images of the bones and soft tissues inside the body. (bones here…) The images can then be sliced down to single layers to evaluate more closely the area in question. They can also be combined to create 3-D images.

  • Analysis of Rehabilitation Procedure Following Arthroplasty of the Knee with the Use of Complete Endoprosthesis

Material/Methods: We studied 33 patients following an initial total arthroplasty of the knee involving endoprosthesis. The patients were divided into two groups according to age. The range of movement within the knee joints was measured for all patients, along with muscle strength and the subjective sensation of pain on a VAS, and the time required to complete the ‘up and go’ test was measured. The gait model and movement ability were evaluated. The testing was conducted at baseline and after com- pletion of the rehabilitation exercise cycle. Results: No significant differences were noted between the groups in the tests of the range of movement in the operated joint or muscle strength acting on the knee joint.

Inspection • Posture – Erectness – Symmetry – Alignment • Skin and subcutaneous tissues – Swelling – Redness – Masses Inspection • Extremities – Size – Deformities – Enlargement – Alignment – Contour – Symmetry Inspection • Muscles – Bilateral symmetry – Hypertrophy – Atrophy – Fasciculations – Spasms Palpation • Palpate bones, joints, and surrounding muscles for the following: – Heat – Tenderness – Swelling – Fluctuation – Crepitus – Resistance to pressure – Muscle tone Muscles • Size and strength affected by the following: – Genetics – Exercise – Nutrition • Muscles move joints through range of motion (ROM). Muscle Strength • Compare bilateral muscles – Strength – Symmetry – Equality – Resistance End Feel Think About It!! • The sensation the examiner feels in the joint as it reaches the end of the range of motion of each passive movement • Bone to bone: This is hard, unyielding – normal would be elbow extension. • Soft–tissue approximation: yielding compression that stops further movement – elbow and knee flexion. End Feel • Tissue stretch: hard – springy type of movement with a slight give – toward the end of range of motion – most common type of normal end feel : knee extension and metacarpophalangeal joint extension. Abnormal End Feel • Muscle spasm: invoked by movement with a sudden dramatic arrest of movement often accompanied by pain - sudden hard – “vibrant twang” • Capsular: Similar to tissue stretch but it does not occur where one would expect – range of motion usually reduced.

  • Examination of the Knee
    Examination of the Knee The Examination For every joint of the lower extremity always begin with the patient in standing IN STANDING INSPECTION 1. Cutaneous Structures: Look for Erythema, scarring, bruising, and swelling in the following areas: a. Peripatellar grooves b. Suprapatellar bursa c. Prepatellar bursa d. Infrapatellar tendon e. Anserine bursa f. Popliteal fossa 2. Muscle & Soft Tissue: a. Quadriceps atrophy b. Hamstring atrophy c. Calf atrophy 3. Bones & Alignment: a. Patella position (Alta, Baha, Winking, Frog eyed), b. Varus or Valgus alignment c. Flexion contracture or Genu recurvatum RANGE OF MOTION - ACTIVE Standing is the best opportunity to assess active range of motion of the knee. 1. Ask the patient to squat into a deep knee bend. Both knees should bend symmetrically. 2. Ask the patient to then stand and extend the knee fully – lock the knee. The knee should straighten to 0 degrees of extension. Some people have increased extension referred to as genu recurvatum. GAIT 1. Look for a short stance phase on the affected limb and an awkward gait if a concomitant leg length discrepancy 2. Look for turning on block 3. Screening 1. Walk on the toes 2. Walk on the heels 3.

  • Knee Pain in Children: Part I: Evaluation
    Knee Pain in Children: Part I: Evaluation Michael Wolf, MD* *Pediatrics and Orthopedic Surgery, St Christopher’s Hospital for Children, Philadelphia, PA. Practice Gap Clinicians who evaluate knee pain must understand how the history and physical examination findings direct the diagnostic process and subsequent management. Objectives After reading this article, the reader should be able to: 1. Obtain an appropriate history and perform a thorough physical examination of a patient presenting with knee pain. 2. Employ an algorithm based on history and physical findings to direct further evaluation and management. HISTORY Obtaining a thorough patient history is crucial in identifying the cause of knee pain in a child (Table). For example, a history of significant swelling without trauma suggests bacterial infection, inflammatory conditions, or less likely, intra- articular derangement. A history of swelling after trauma is concerning for potential intra-articular derangement. A report of warmth or erythema merits consideration of bacterial in- fection or inflammatory conditions, and mechanical symptoms (eg, lock- ing, catching, instability) should prompt consideration of intra-articular derangement. Nighttime pain and systemic symptoms (eg, fever, sweats, night sweats, anorexia, malaise, fatigue, weight loss) are associated with bacterial infections, inflammatory conditions, benign and malignant musculoskeletal tumors, and other systemic malignancies. A history of rash or known systemic inflammatory conditions, such as systemic lupus erythematosus or inflammatory bowel disease, should raise suspicion for inflammatory arthritis. Ascertaining the location of the pain also can aid in determining the cause of knee pain. Anterior pain suggests patellofemoral syndrome or instability, quad- riceps or patellar tendinopathy, prepatellar bursitis, or apophysitis (patellar or tibial tubercle).
