Lower Limb Orthopaedic Examination Workshop Mr Venu Kavarthapu, Mr Patrick Li 1 Lower Limb Orthopaedic Examination Workshop Mr Venu Kavarthapu, Mr Patrick Li General Tips Movements: Hip- passive only. Knee-passive and active. Foot and ankle- passive and active. Spine- active only. Always consider examining (screening) the joint above and below as appropriate ______________________________________ Hip Examination (Common pathological conditions: Young adults: Sports injuries, Hip Impingement, Hip Dyspasia. Middle aged: Sports injuries, Hip Impingement, Hip Dyspasia, Osteoarthritis. Older patients: Osteoarthritis.) Pitfalls: Hip pain is generally felt in the groin, trochanter (lateral), anterior thigh, buttock (posterior trochanter) and knee regions. It is important to identify conditions such as Hip Dysplasia and Hip Impingement in young patients before they become severely symptomatic as the treatment is less invasive if identified early. Look for other sources of pain such as lower back, sacro-iliac joint, inguinal hernia etc. Standing Look from front Shoulder level Pelvis level Leg alignment (knee) Leg lengths Look from side Spine alignment Gluteal muscle bulk Attitude of hip and knee joints Look from behind Spine alignment Hindfoot Gait Antalgic gait Trendelenburg’s sign Spine screening Sitting Knee screening Look spine Supine Non-weight bearing alignment of legs Apparent leg length measurement True leg length measurement 2 Tenderness over trochanter, anterior hip region, other tender areas Movements: Thomas’ test (for fixed flexion deformity) Internal rotation and external rotation in hip flexion Internal rotation and external rotation in hip extension (look at knee caps) Abduction Adduction Prone position Hip extension Sacro-iliac joint tenderness Special situations Young Patient: Young patients with hip pain may have Hip Impingement Syndrome. Hip Impingement sign may be the only positive finding. Knee examination (Common pathologies: Young adults: Sports injuries, Chondromalacia Patella. Patello- femoral instability. Middle aged: Sports injuries, Patello-femoral degenerative conditions, Osteoarthitis. Older patients: Osteoarthritis) Standing Look from front Shoulder level Pelvis level Leg alignment (knee) Leg lengths Look from side Spine alignment Gluteal muscle bulk Popliteal fossa Attitude of hip and knee joints Look from behind Spine alignment Hindfoot Gait Antalgic gait Sitting Hip screening Patellar tracking Supine Non-weight bearing alignment of legs Effusion tests: Moderate effusion (obliteration of gutters) - patellar tap test Minimal effusion- swipe test Patello-femoral examination: tenderness, laxity, apprehension, Clark’s test Feel for tenderness: Systematic. Knee in 60-90 degrees Move- active first Special tests Collateral ligaments Cruciates- posterior sag test. Anterior and posterior draw tests. Lachman’s test Menisci- Mc Murray’s test Hip and Ankle examination 3 Foot and Ankle (Common pathologies (numerus). Young adults: Physiological flat foot. Painful flat foot (tarsal coalition), Juvenile hallux valgus. Sports ankle injuries. Sports Achillies tendon pathologies. Middle aged: Painful flat foot (Tibialis posterior tendon deficiency), Hallux valgus. Metatarsalgia (Morton’s neuroma), Sports ankle injuries, Osteoarthitis. Heel pain (Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasceitis). Older patients: Osteoarthritis, Painful flat foot (Tibialis posterior tendon deficiency) Pitfalls: Painful normal looking foot (with no deformities) need to be examined for possible pathologies in addition to early arthritis, such as Forefoot: Morton’s neuroma, tarsal tunnel syndrome, stress fracture. Plantar heel: Plantar fascietis, tarsal tunnel syndrome. Posterior heel: insertional Achillis tendonitis, non-insertional Achillis tendonitis Patients presenting with high arched feet, always examine spine quite often this is associated with neurological conditions Standing Look from front Shoulder level Pelvis level Leg alignment (knee) Leg lengths Forefoot Midfoot Look from side Attitude of hip and knee joints Foot Arches Ankle and foot Look from behind Spine inspection Arms Hindfoot- Normal and Tip toeing Gait Shoes Sitting Callocities Corns Deformities- describe in terms of hindfoot, midfoot and forefoot Feel Tenderness- systematic Degree of passive correction of deformities Active movements Passive movements Power of local muscles Tibialis and peroneals Special tests: Morton’s neuroma (Mulder Click), Tight Gastrocnemius (Silverskoild test) _____________________________________ .

    Telemedicine Management of Musculoskeletal Issues Nicole T. Yedlinsky, MD, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kansas Rebecca L. Peebles, DO, Ehrling Bergquist Family Medicine Residency Program, Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska; Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland Telemedicine can provide patients with cost-effective, quality care. The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has highlighted the need for alternative methods of delivering health care. Family physi- cians can benefit from using a standardized approach to evaluate and diagnose musculoskeletal issues via telemedicine visits. Previsit planning establishes appropriate use of telemedicine and ensures that the patient and physician have functional telehealth equipment. Specific instructions to patients regard- ing ideal setting, camera angles, body positioning, and attire enhance virtual visits. Physicians can obtain a thorough history and perform a structured musculoskel- etal examination via telemedicine. The use of common household items allows physicians to replicate in-person clinical examination maneuvers. Home care instructions and online rehabilitation resources are available for ini- tial management. Patients should be scheduled for an in-person visit when the diagnosis or management plan is in question. Patients with a possible deformity or neuro- vascular compromise should be referred for urgent evaluation. Follow-up can be done virtually if the patient’s condition is improving as expected. If the condition is worsening or not improving, the patient should have an in-office assessment, with consideration for referral to formal physical therapy or spe- cialty services when appropriate.

  • Knee Examination
    Checklist for Physical Examination of the Knee Muscuoskeletal Block -- Chris McGrew MD, Andrew Ashbaugh DO This handout is for use as a “rough” guide and study aid. Your instructor may perform certain maneuvers differently than depicted here. I acknowledge that this may be frustrating, but please try to be understanding of this inter-examination variability. A. Inspection 1) Standing - alignment, foot structure, hip/pelvis 2) Gait – Observe (is there a limp?) 3) Supine – effusion, erythema, quadriceps muscle (atrophy?) “Var us my pig” B. Palpation 1) Warmth, Crepitus, Effusion 2) Tenderness – medial/lateral joint lines, MCL, LCL, patellar facets, quadriceps insertions, patellar tendon, IT Band, pes anserine bursa Milk test for effusion Start at inferior pole of patella, drop down and move medially and laterally to joint lines. Then condyles and plateuas, Then patellar tendon. For patella check poles and facets. C. Range of Motion --Need to check both hip and knee ROM as hip pathology can refer pain to the knee. 1) Hip ROM: flexion, internal and external rotation 120 degrees Int Rot: Ext Rot: 0 degrees 30-40 40-60 2) Knee flexion and extension (know difference between AROM and PROM) 3) Hamstring flexibility (compare to other side) Popliteal angle test: hip flexed to 90, knee flexed to 90, then examiner passively extends knee till it reaches it resistance. D. Manual Muscle Testing / Neurovascular exam 1) Knee Extension/Flexion (MMT of quadriceps and hamstrings) 2) Distal Neurovascular: pulses, gross sensation, capillary refill. Dorsalis pedis pulse found best in line with the second toe. E. Special Tests 1) Patellar Examination a) Q-angle, be able to visualize varus or valgus b) Patellar compression/grind c) Patellar glide/tilt d) Apprehension sign Patellar compression/grind test (PFPS, chondromalacia patellae) Have patients knee bent at 20-30 degrees, hold their patella in place and have them slowly activate their quadriceps muscles and to stop if it hurts.

The mismatch can arise from subtle morphologic alterations in the anatomy or orientation of the ball-and-socket components (for example, a bony prominence at the head-neck junction or acetabular over-coverage) with articular cartilage damage initially occurring from abutment of the femoral neck against the acetabular rim, typically at the anterosui per or aspect of the acetabulum. Although hip joints can possess the morphologic features of FAI without symptoms, FAI may become pathologic with repetitive movement and/or increased force on the hip joint. High-demand activities may also result in pathologic impingement in hips with normal morphology. s It ha been proposed that impingement with damage to the labrum and/or acetabulum is a causative factor in the development of hip osteoarthritis, and that as many as half of cases currently categorized as primary osteoarthritis may have an etiology of FAI.
