About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Knee Injuries" by Destiny Lopez, Dulce Lopez and My Nguyen.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about knee injuries which can range from minor strains and sprains to more severe ligament tears or fractures. The knee joint is a complex joint that connects the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia) and the kneecap (patella). It is held together by several ligaments, tendons, and muscles, all of which can be injured.

Some common types of knee injuries include:

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear: This is a common injury that occurs when the ACL, one of the major ligaments in the knee, is torn or sprained. This can be caused by a sudden twisting motion, a direct blow to the knee, or landing awkwardly from a jump.
Meniscus tear: The meniscus is a rubbery cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between the thigh bone and shin bone. A tear in the meniscus can be caused by a sudden twisting motion or repetitive stress over time.
Patellar tendinitis: This is an overuse injury that occurs when the tendon that connects the kneecap to the shin bone becomes inflamed.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome: This is a common condition that causes pain in the front of the knee, usually around the kneecap. It can be caused by overuse, misalignment of the kneecap, or weak thigh muscles.
Knee bursitis: Bursae are small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the knee joint. When these become inflamed, it can cause pain and swelling in the knee.

Treatment for knee injuries will depend on the severity and type of injury, but may include rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), physical therapy, pain medication, or surgery in more severe cases. Its important to seek medical attention if you experience persistent knee pain or swelling, or if you are unable to bear weight on the affected knee.

Parts of the Knee
Slide 3-

The Knee Joint Bones: Femur Tibia Fibula Patella Menisci Medial Meniscus Lateral Meniscus Ligaments: MCL- Medial Collateral Ligament LCL- Lateral Collateral Ligament ACL- Anterior Cruciate Ligament PCL- Posterior Cruciate Ligament LCL MCL ACL PCL Medial Meniscus Lateral Meniscus
Slide 4-

Knee Sprains Sprain-Ligament stretching or tearing Grade-one sprains stretch the ligament but don't tear the fibers Grade-two sprains partially tear the fibers, but the ligament remains intact Grade-three sprains are tears that completely disrupt the ligament
Slide 5-

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament and the Posterior Cruciate Ligament ACL- located internally in the front of the knee , prevents the knee from sliding forward PCL- located behind the knee and forms an "X" on the inside of the knee and prevent the knee from sliding backward Signs and Symptoms of injury: Swelling in the knee occurs within minutes Athlete may be in mild to severe pain Walking is difficult Treatment: See your Athletic Trainer or Orthopedic Doctor Long-term treatment may require surgery and significant physical therapy rehabilitation Recovery usually takes average of 6 months Full function, mobility, strength and comfort typically return at about 1 year
Slide 6-

The Medial Cruciate Ligament and the Lateral Cruciate Ligament MCL- ligament on the inside of the knee, prevents knee from sliding side to side LCL- ligament located on the outside of the knee, prevents knee from sliding side to side
Slide 7-

Possible Injuries: Torn LCL -A LCL tears when stress is placed on the inside of the knee Ex. Kicked from medial (inside) of knee -The picture above shows a hit to the inside of the knee. Treatment: -See your Athletic Trainer or Orthopedic Doctor -Rest -Wear a range of motion restricted brace Ice Elevate Surgery may be required Rehabiliation -Program will be created by Physical Therapist or Athletic Trainer -Depending on level of sprain, recovery may take 2 weeks to several months
Slide 8-

The Meniscus -Meniscus: Functions as a cushion between bones The cartilage of the knee can be acutely injured or can gradually tear. Signs and Symptoms: Pain with walking up/down inclines “Giving away” of the knee Swelling occurs gradually over many hours See Athletic Trainer or Orthopedic Doctor for full evaluation
Slide 9-

Patellar (Knee Cap) Injuries The kneecap sits within the tendon of the quadriceps muscle, in front of the femur, just above the knee joint. It is held in place by the quadriceps muscles - The patella typically subluxates/dislocates laterally (toward the outside of the knee). Dislocations are returned to the normal position by straightening out the knee See your Athletic Trainer or Orthopedic Doctor for full evaluation Rehabilitation will be needed
Slide 10-

Bursae Bursa- fluid-filled sac that reduces friction between muscles, tendons and bones Inflammation of the bursas (bursitis) can occur because of direct blows, chronic use and/or abuse. Rehab -See your Athletic Trainer or Orthopedic Doctor -Avoiding aggravating movements such as kneeling -Wear knee pads -If the swelling persists, a medical professional may drain the fluid within or around the bursa. -In cases where the bursa has become infected, antibiotics may be prescribed -In more serious cases the bursa may be completely removed by surgical procedures.
