Case 3 : KNEE PAIN.
A 15-year-old male reports dull pain in both knees. Sometimes
one or both knees click, and the patient describes a catching

will you perform? What anatomic structures are you assessing
as part of the physical examination? What special maneuvers
will you perform?

5. Hematologic:
No evidence of clotting conditions reported.
Allergic/Immunologic:
Allergy to shellfish.
Manual Muscle Testing:
Knee flexion 5/5, pain
.
Knee extension 5/5, painful
.
Knee ER 5/5, Knee IR 5/5.
Musculoskeletal Tests:
The patient can perform a regular activity such as walking,
bending the knee with slight discomfort noted.
Diagnostic tests:
Computerized tomography (CT) scan, Bilateral Knee X-ray,
CBC, and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The practitioner must assess for abnormalities during
musculosketal examination. The lower extremities must be
examined for alignment with the edge between the femur and
tibia under 15 degrees (Ball, Dains, Flynn, Solomon, and
Stewart, 2015). Range of motion must be assessed in patients
with suspected fracture (Ball et al., 2015). McMurray test to
rule out tear of the meniscus, Varus-valgus stress test to check
for knee stability, and Lachman test for anterior cruciate
ligament. The three diagnostic test will help to examine the
tissues around the knee, check for patella abnormalities or
dislocation, and rule out knee fracture.
ASSESSMENT/Differential Diagnosis:

6. Priority diagnosis would be Osgood Schlatter Disease: A
common cause of knee pain in adolescents. This in an
inflammation underneath the knee where the ligament from the
patellar tendon attaches to the tibia.
Differential Dx: These include
Osteogenic Sarcoma
– This condition is associated with people age 10-25 yrs, and it
is characterized by intermittent pain (Ryan, Maryam, & Hue,
2016).
Patellar dislocation.
This condition is associated with shifting of the knee patella
from its normal positioning and is characterized by pain in the
patella (Rudavsky & Cook, 2014)
Patella fracture.
The condition is where the kneecap suffers breakage or
cracking and result to pain in the knee, accompanied by
swelling and bruising around the knee (Reinking, 2016). Though
the patient does not have all these symptoms, it is a probability.
Medial meniscus
- This condition is associated with knee pain, difficulty flexing,
clicking, or catching of the knee movement, just like in the case
of the patient (Wu et al. 2018).
Patellar chondromalacia.
This is when the cartilage in the kneecap gets worn by age or
injury and is accompanied by discomfort of the inner knee and
pain that aggravate from the physical activity just like in the
case of the patient (Pak, Lee, & Lee, 2013).
