arthroscopy of the knee joint is a relatively common orthopedic procedure to treat a host of sports injuries and other knee diseases. Commonly a 4 mm size scope is used via two standard arthroscopy portals. Arthroscopic examination of the knee confirms MRI findings. Synovial fluid and biopsy can be taken to confirm diagnosis.

7. Physical Examination
• Vital signs: T 36.7
o
C, PR 109 bpm, BP 135/80 mmHg, RR 18
/min
• GA: a Thai elderly man, alert
• HEENT: no pale conjunctiva, anicteric sclera
• Heart: normal S1 S2, no murmur
• Lungs: clear, equal breath sound
• Abdomen: soft, not tender, no guarding, no
hepatosplenomegaly
8. Physical Examination
• Extremities:
• Rt. knee- AW 3 cm., no swelling, no Ballotment, full
ROM without pain
• Lt. knee- marked swelling, no wound, tenderness
at anterior side, limit ROM due to pain, Ballotment
positive
16. Anatomy
• Largest sesamoid bone
• Insertion of quadriceps
• Inserts to tibial tuberosity
• Function
• Knee extension (last 30
o
)
• Knee protection
• Supply articular cartilage of
distal femur
18. Epidemiology
• 1% of all skeletal injuries
• Most common in age 20-50 years old
• M:F = 2:1
19. Mechanism of Injury
• Direct trauma
• Direct force to flexed knee (Dashboard injury)
• Comminuted fracture
• Indirect trauma (most common)
• Sudden, forceful contraction of quadriceps
• Transverse fracture
20. Signs and Symptoms
• Acutely swollen knee following trauma
• Focal tenderness of patella
• Loss of extensor mechanism
• Extend knee against gravity
• Straight leg raise
22. Treatment
• Indication for surgery
• Fracture displace > 3 mm.
• Articular displace > 2 mm.
• Loss of extensor mechanism
23. Conservative
• RICE
• Cylinder cast or long leg cast
for 4-6 wk. in full extension
• Weight bearing as tolerated
• Isometric quadriceps exercise
• F/U film at 2 wk. and 4-6 wk.
24. Surgery
• ORIF with
• Transverse: Tension band wiring
• Comminuted: Cerclage wiring
• Vertical: Screw fixation
• Loss of extension: Repair
quadricep retinaculum
25. Complication
• Decreased knee ROM (terminal extension)
• OA of the patellofemoral joint
• Nonunion
• Surgery
• Infection
• Failure of hardware
• Osteonecrosis
