The Knee Resource

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is located within the knee joint and connects the shin (tibia) to the thigh bone (femur) (images 1-2). The ACL consists of three separate bundles (anteromedial-medial, anteromedial-lateral and posterolateral) that have an abundant blood and nerve supply. The posterolateral and anteromedial bundles are thought to provide more stability with the knee straight and bent respectively. The native ACL is thought to provide structural stability to the knee via its direct connection between the bones, and functional stability by providing information to the nervous system regarding knee joint position (proprioception).

New blog 🚨 Having trouble convincing the patient they don’t need an XRay for knee OA? Or problems convincing them to exercise? So do we! Here’s some clinical tips that may help based on recent experiences. Thanks to @STSkou @jbthorlund and @ewa_roos

Education, exercise and weight management are considered the “core” treatments for knee OA and should be offered to all patients, irrespective of symptom severity, age, disability or co-existing medical conditions. These interventions have been shown to postpone knee surgery in 3 out of 4 patients for at least one year, 2 out of 3 patients for at least two years, and provide clinically-relevant improvements for most people, without the associated risks of total knee replacement.

Our study suggests you have to combine the results of the dial test with other PCL and medial knee tests to differentiate isolated PLC, PLC+PCL and medial knee injury. Logical but first ‘evidence’ to support it. +ve dial 30 & 90,+ve PCL test,-ve medial knee test = PLC+PCL injury.
