Patellofemoral syndrome
True/False Patellar sublaxation or dislocation commonly occurs posteriorly and is more common in females than in males.
True
True/False Most patellar fractures are the result of indirect trauma in which a severe pull of the patellar tendon occurs against the femur when the knee is semiflexed. Direct injury most often produces fragmentation with little displacement and little bone separation.
True
An overuse condition commonly occuring in runners or cyclists that can be attributed to malalignment and structural assymetries of the foot and lower leg.

It is very common when an athlete lands from a jump with the knee extended as opposed to flexed. The most common noncontact mechanism for tearing this ligament is when the athlete decelerates, with the foot planted on the ground, and turns in the direction of the planted foot, forcing the tibia into internal rotation.

Lateral collateral ligament
True/False MCL sprains are less common than LCL sprains.

Injury to this ligament most often occurs either as a result of a medially directed valgus force from the lateral side or from external rotation of the tibia. These tears resulting from rotation combined with valgus stress with the foot fixed frequently result in ACL and occasionally PCL tears.
Medial Collateral Ligament
What is the special test to determine the integrity of the MCL and LCL?
Valgus/Varus stress test
In first time acute knee sprains, fluid and blood effusion is not usually apparent until after a ___-hour period. However, in an ACL sprain, blood may accumulate in the joint (hemoarthrosis) during the first hour after injury.

Commonly known as a hip pointer and results from a blow to the inadequately protected iliac crest.
Iliac crest contusion
Unusual disorder of the adolescent hip in which the epiphysis (growing end) of the femur slips from the femoral head in a backward direction. This is due to weakness of the growth plate and most often develops during periods of accelerated growth, shortly after the onset of puberty. Found mostly in boys between the ages of ten and seventeen who are very tall and thin or are obese. The femoral head or proximal femoral epiphysis slips posterior and inferior relative to the femoral neck or femoral metaphysis.
Slipped capital femoral syndrome
Due to a loss of blood circulation in the articular head of the femur. Occurs in children ages three to twelve and in boys more often than girls. Because of a disruption of circulation to the head of the femur, the articular cartilage dies and becomes more flattened: avascular necrosis.
Legg-Perthes Disease (Coxa plana)
Depression between the thigh and the abdomen. Its muscles are responsible for adduction and internal rotation of the thigh.
groin
Groin ______ are likely to occur early in the season, particularly if the athlete has poor strength and flexibility in these muscles.
strains
Occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated by tightness or spasm of the piriformis muscle
Piriformis syndrome
Herniated lumbar disc pressing on the sciatic nerve as it exits the lumbar spine.
Sciatica
Most often results from repetitive movements such as running or pivoting of the hip that cause degeneration and breakdown of the labrum. It may also be caused by an acute injury such as a dislocation.
Hip labral tear
True/False Hip dislocations rarely occur in sports but when they do the thigh is flexed, adducted and internally rotated.
True
May occur as the result of a violent twist, either produced through an impact force delivered by another participant or by forceful contact with another object or sustained in a situation in which the foot is firmly planted and the trunk is forced in an opposing direction. It is best revealed through the athlete's inability to circumduct the thigh. Symptoms are similar to a stress fracture.
Hip sprain
Stress fractures of the femur are more common on the (medial/lateral) side.

myositis ossificans traumatica
True/False Massaging and attempting to run off a quadriceps muscle contusion will promote healing
False
Usually develop as the result of a severe impact on the relaxed thigh, compressing the muscle against the hard surface of the femur. Immediate action includes compression by an elastic bandage with the knee flexed to 120 degrees to minimize the loss of ROM. This places quads in a stretched position and also helps to compress the injured area.
