Value of the clinical examination in suspected meniscal injuries

Abstract: Meniscal injury can be detected by several functional tests. Using the Thessaly test can improve the physical examination by means of probability of the correct diagnosis, but the results are based on a single study. In patients with ambiguous findings in the physical examination or with suspected combined injury, further diagnostic procedures such as magnetic resonance imaging are necessary to confirm the diagnosis. In clinically certain cases the use of additional diagnostic imaging procedures should be avoi… Show more

“…However, other authors postulate an early unlimited ROM, without orthosis and full weight bearing is mentioned in recent studies, because immobilization may be associated with decreased collagen synthesis, formation of synovial adhesions, and the production of poorer quality replacement collagen (Doherty et al, 2017; Kemler et al, 2011; Petersen et al, 2013; Polzer et al, 2012; Slater, 2018; Vuurberg et al, 2018).…”

“…With the knowledge of how to prevent chronic instability and of the necessary consecutive surgical treatment of the lateral ligament complex of the ankle, there is still a knowledge gap about the acceptance of current concepts of adequate strategies in non‐operative treatment of lateral ligament injuries of the ankle (Green, Willson, Martin, & Fallon, 2019). Given the wide variety of available treatment and rehabilitation protocols for lateral ligament injuries of the ankle (Kemler, van de Port, Backx, & van Dijk, 2011; Petersen et al, 2013; Polzer et al, 2012; van den Bekerom, Kerkhoffs, McCollum, Calder, & van Dijk, 2013), this study investigated the currently used treatment protocols after lateral ligament injury of the ankle in clinical practice. Our hypothesis was that there is a common consent in the non‐operative treatment of ligament injuries of the ankle.…”

“…The meniscus tests shown are: McMurray, Steinmann signs I and II, Apley grinding and hyperextension. Demonstration of the Thessaly test is excluded in view of the instability of the patientʼs knee joint, since unnecessary pain is induced in cases of known instability [5,7].…”
