Best Practice Case Studies-Knee Ligament Injuries PEC

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Chris Fulmer from Stanford’s Sports Medicine Fellowship program discusses diagnosing knee injuries based on non-contact incidents where the patient feels or hears a pop. Such symptoms often suggest meniscal tears, ligament ruptures, or patellar dislocations. Fulmer emphasizes the importance of evaluating multiple potential injuries, such as knee dislocations, and checking neurovascular status early. He demonstrates several tests, including the Varus stress, sag sign, active quadricep, frog leg, and dial tests, which help assess injuries to the PCL, ACL, lateral collateral ligament, and posterior lateral corner by analyzing knee stability and movement discrepancies.
