Question | Answer |
What is the most popular graft for ACL reconstructions? | Patellar Tendon Graft |
Why is the patellar tendon graft the most popular graft for ACL reconstructions? | Due to easily performed interference screw fixation and the rapid bone to bone healing to the graft -Less likely to fail than hamstring |
Why is the patellar tendon graft not useful | -Possible OA -Patella Baja 5-10% -Decreased knee flexion during stance -Women and for people who kneel |
What are the negatives to hamstring recon? | -Graft Laxity -Patellar tendon joined to tunnels within 6 weeks (compared to hamstring at 8 weeks) -However if fixation is standardised there are no differences in laxity |
What are the stats for recons for ACL's | For every 100 patients 2 per year (20%) will suffer a further cruciate ligament injury regardless of patellar or hamstring |
Following a patellar graft, what are you also likely to injure? | Contralateral ACL |
What are the factors that determine surgery vs. conservative management? | Degree of instability Presence of meniscal lesions Patients veel of activity Patients age |
What is the stats for OA post ACL recon? | 10-87% |
What did the Mueffells' study in regards to conservative vs. surgical post ACL | -Insufficient evidence to show that reconstructing the ACL is better surgically than conservative -Higher OA surgically -Higher meniscectomy surgically -No differences in functional outcome -Instability in conservative group is present |
At what time period are ACL's at their most vulnerable to tears? | 6-8 weeks The ligament is revascularising, however the pain goes so the patient is ready to go DO NOT LET THEM DO ANYTHING THEY SHOULD NOT BE DOING |
Why are open kinetic chain exercises not appropriate at 6 weeks? | Due to the patient not being able to achieve terminal end range, therefore OKC are not appropriate |
What are the goals for weeks 0-2 for ACL | -Educate and manage pain -Protect graft, however do not stay in bed all day -0-90 degrees flexion -co-contraction work -Gait progression |
Weeks 2-6 ACL recon | -Educate and manage pain -0 degrees extension- 90-120 degrees flexion -improve gait -co-contraction -muscle conditioning -STATIONARY CYCLE -SWIMMING NO KICK |
Weeks 7-12 ACL recon | -Educate and manage swelling -Near full knee ROM -Normal gait -SQUATS -SIDE STEPS -DEAD LIFTS -LL conditioning -Cycle and swimming (No kick) -Walk treadmill |

According to: The association of scapular kinematics and glenohumeral joint pathologies by Ludewig and Reynolds WHAT IS SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT DEFINED AS? | Compression Entrapment Mechanical Irritation of the rotator cuff structures and/ or long head of biceps tendon |
According to: The association of scapular kinematics and glenohumeral joint pathologies by Ludewig and Reynolds WHAT CAUSES SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT? | 1. Anatomical reductions in available space beneath the coracoacromial arch or within the supraspinatus outlet area 2. Intrinsic tendon degeneration from eccentric overload, schema, raging or inferior tissue properties 3. Scapular or humeral movement alterations compromising the rotator cuff tissues through sub acromial impingement |
According to: The association of scapular kinematics and glenohumeral joint pathologies by Ludewig and Reynolds WHAT CLINICAL SIGNS ARE SEEN WITH SHOULDER INSTABILITY? | -Less scapular upward rotation at beginning of elevation/ faster at end -Significantly more scapular winging -Significant differences in scapulohumeral rhythm |
According to Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy by JS Lewis WHAT ARE THE MAIN REASONS PEOPLE EXPERIENCE SHOULDER PAIN? | -Rotator cuff pathology -Sub acromial bursa |
According to Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy by JS Lewis HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE SHOULDER DIAGNOSIS? | -High sensitivity -Low specificity |
According to Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy by JS Lewis WHY CANT THE CLINICAL ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES FOR ROTATOR CUFF TENDIOPATHY DIAGNOSE INDIVIDUAL TENDON OR OTHER STRUCTURES? | -Morphology of rotator cuff -The position and innervation of sub-acromial bursa -Lack of correlation between symptoms and contemporary methods of imaging |
According to Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy by JS Lewis WHAT IS THE SHOULDER SYMPTOMS MODIFICATION PROCEDURE | -Series of four mechanical techniques that are applied while the patient performs the activity or movement that most closely reproduces the symptoms experienced |
According to Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy by JS Lewis WHAT ARE THE FOUR CATEGORIES OR SHOULDER SYMPTOM MODIFICATION PROCEDURE? | 1. Humeral head procedure 2. Changing scapular position 3. Cervical and thoracic procedures (as structures within the spine may cause symptoms) 3. Thoracic kyphosis technique |
According to Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy by JS Lewis WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF THE SHOULDER SYMPTOMS MODIFICATION PROCEDURE? | -Recognises the inadequacy of the present method of assessment and proposes that patient management may be guided by the response to symptom modification -The program is graduated according to the individuals needs and aims to restore normal function -Flexible and capable of modification and evolution |
According to Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy by JS Lewis WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF THE SHOULDER SYMPTOM MODIFICATION PROCEDURE? | -No means for determining the origin of the symptoms -Lacks validity |
According to the J S Lewis' study on subacromial impingement WHAT IS SAPS? | -Based on the hypothesis that lacrimal irritation leads to external abrasion of the bursa and rotator cuff |
According to the J S Lewis' study on subacromial impingement WHAT ARE THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY? | Lacks evidence in regards to: -The areas of tendon pathology and accordion irritation -The shape of the accordion and symptoms -The proposal that irritation leads to the development of tendinitis and bursitis -Imaging changes and symptoms of the condition |
According to the J S Lewis' study on subacromial impingement STATS | 91% of partial thickness tears are on the inferior (articular or joint) side of the supraspinatus tendon 9% on the superior or bursal side |
According to the J S Lewis' study on subacromial impingement WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE IN REGARDS TO POSTURE AND SAPS | There is little evidence to state that posture will lead to SAPS |
According to the J S Lewis' study on subacromial impingement WHAT ARE THE THREE TYPES OF ACROMIAL SHAPE | -Type 1: Flat Type 2: Round Type 3: hooked |
According to the J S Lewis' study on subacromial impingement WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF ACROMIAL SHAPE THAT WILL CAUSE SAPS | Type 2: round Type 3: hooked *however studies have disproved this theory* |

Functional outcome measures to allow for testing for chronic ankle instability | No effusion Full ROM Pain free walking Normal walking gait Straight line running |
What are the benefits of eccentric training? | Allows for heavier weight |
Extrinsic causes of shoulder region pain | -Cervical spine referral -Thoracic spine referral -Heart--> Left side -Live--> Right side -Gall bladder--> right side -Spleen--> Left side -Apical lung tumors |
Why is there lack of specificity in shoulder tests? | -Morphology of RC (all have one insertion) -Position and inversion of sub acromial bursa- richly innervated and blends with bursa -Weakness on testing (weakness during testing shows pain rather than actual structural pathology -Pain/ weakness during testing can be influenced by spinal, scapular or head position |
What is primary impingement of the shoulder? | True structural narrowing leading to impingement of structures in sub acromial or sub coracoid spaces |
What is secondary impingement of the shoulder? | Functional narrowing leading to impingement of structures due to: -Sub-topimal/ impaired RC function/ GHJ MC impairment -Instability -Hypomibility -Poor scapula kinematics -Sub-optimal postures in spine |
Sub acromial impingement- encroachment of which structures? | -SA spur/ osteophytes -Calcified caraco-acromial ligament -ACJ arthropathy -Malunion of ACROMIAL or greater tuberosity |
Structures potentially impinged in SAPS | -Sub-acromial bursa -SUperior GH: -RC tendons -LHB |
Symptoms of SAPS | -Pain w/ overhead movements -Loaded shoulder IR -EOR -Pain with loading RC due to failure of RC to keep the HH centred |
Possible causes for sub-optimal RC function | -Structural pathology of RC -Pain inhibition of RC -Disuse of RC -Disuse/ reconditioning leading to weakness or loss of endurance of RC -Muscle fatigue -Abnormal GHJ mobility leading to sub-optimal RC function -Sub-optimal spinal/ scpaula postures and scpaula kinematics -If RC is impaired--> poor HH control during loading or movement//> excessive superior or antero-superior HH translation (therefore impingement) |
Consequences of gross of subtle GHJ hypo mobility | Inability to centre HH -Loss of ER ROM (this affects the ability of greater tuberosity to clear coraco-acromial arch during shoulder elevation) which means there is a risk for secondary impingement |
Normal scapular position | Upward rotation 2 degrees IR 33 degrees Anterior tilt 8 degrees |
How can scapular mechanics change | Pain Soft tissue tightness over activity Altered function of scap force couples- reduced strength, endurance and sub-optimal timing Sub-optimal thoracic postures |
Excessive medial border winging | -Secondary to sub-optimal serratus anterior -results in lack of normal upward rotation and posterior tilt (i.e. the coraco-acromial arch fails to rotate out of the way) |
Excessive downward rotation- muscles involved | -Overtight levator scap or rhomboids -Weak serratus anterior and upper and lower traps |
Excessive anterior tilt- muscles involved | Tight pectoralis minor -Results in scap IR, DR and anterior tilt |
Alterations in scpaular kinematics common in patients w/ impingement, RC pathology, GHJ instability, GHJ hypomobility | -Upward rotation -Posterior tilt -Increase in IR (medial winging) |
Result of flexed/ kyphotic thoracic postures | -Lengthened/ reconditioned scap upward rotators -Tight pec minor and major -Restriction in UR and post tilt -Decreased thoracic extension ROM -LITTLE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT |
Is impingement a diagnosis or clinical sign? | CLINICAL SIGN |
Acromial irritation model- limitations | -Common location of RC pathology doesn't support this model (most RC pathology (i.e. 90%) occurs on deep articular side) -Acromial shape and relationship to pathology doesn't support this model -Acromial shape- SA spur formation may be secondary not primary |
Why does 90% of RC pathology occur on intra-articular/ deep side | -Deeper side fibres relatively weaker and fail earlier than large acromial side fibres -Pathology due to intrinsic tendon degeneration or failure without direct mechanical irritation |
Risk factor predisposing to RC tears | -Increased age -SMoking -Hypercholesterolemia -Family predisposition -High BMI |
Classification of RC tears | -Partial thickness tear (start in the deep articular side)--> the progresses to involve subscap -Full thickness tear |
Diagnosis of RC tear | -Age more than 60 -Night pain -Abduction weakness (initiation) -ER weakness -Positive impingement signs -Imaging (however symptoms do not always correlate) -Antero-lateral shoulder pain |
Calcific tendinopathies | -Causes of calcium deposits in RC unknown -Unclear if assoc. with tendon degenerative process -Usually supraspinatus -More common in those above 30 -Deposits chemically irritate the tendon leading to inflammatory process and therefore pain! -The size of the deposit is not always linked to pain -usually managed conservatively |
Joint Laxity | Degree of translation which falls within physiological range and is asymptomatic -Increased of developing shoulder pathology is higher |
Joint instability | Abnormal symptomatic motion -Abnormal motion of HH relative to the gleaned during active shoulder motion -Feelings of looseness, slipping, shoulder falling out, apprehension, lack of power, sense of displacement |
Multi-directional joint instability | -Instability in atleast 2 direction -TRUE JOINT INSTABILITY= instability in posterior and anterior w/ inferior component |
