Video Summary
This video, presented by Chris Fulmer from Stanford's Sports Medicine Fellowship, explores diagnosing meniscal pathology in patients with knee pain and effusion. Despite low test sensitivity and specificity, comprehensive assessments involving patient history, symptoms, and physical exams are crucial. Typical meniscus tear symptoms include recurrent effusion, popping, and knee locking, generally from a twisting injury. Fulmer demonstrates techniques like joint line palpation and classic tests including the Bounce Test, McMurray's Test, Apley's Test, and Thessaly Test to evaluate potential meniscal injury. Each test is described with their limitations and diagnostic implications.
