Guide to Knee Joint Anatomy

The knee is the largest joint in the human body and a common source of athletic-related injuries. Classified as a pivotal hinge joint, the knee allows for straightening and bending in one direction, with some twisting (screw home mechanism).

The knee joint is made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, bursae, and meniscus. A injury to any one of these structures can cause knee pain.

The knee joint is comprised of 3 bones: the kneecap (patella), the thigh bone (femur), and the shin bone (tibia).

ACL MYTH: "As long as your injured leg is 90% as strong as your 'good' leg, you're safe to return to sport."

THE REALITY: This thinking can lead to many tears.

Research shows the 'good' leg also tends to lose strength and function during the rehab period (Patterson et al 2020)

This means that achieving 'symmetry' might just mean you have two weaker legs, and your true function is still well below your pre-injury level.

For me, I'd rather someone working their way through rehab being strong and assymetrical than being symmetrical yet weak.

Your C8 controls your hands. Specifically, it runs from the shoulder, all the way to the pinky side of your hand.

Cervical Spinal Nerves

Spinal nerves branch off from the spinal cord to innervate the rest of the body. These complex networks of nerves enable the brain to receive sensory inputs from the skin and to send motor controls for muscle movements. In the cervical spine, there are eight pairs of spinal nerves labeled C1 to C8, which innervate the neck, shoulder, arm, hand, and more.

Piriformis syndrome

🗣️Examination

A complete neurological history and physical assessment of the patient is essential for an accurate diagnosis.

The physical assessment should include the following points:

👉an osteopathic structural examination with special attention to the lumbar spine, pelvis and sacrum, as well as any leg length discrepancies.
👉diagnostic tests.
👉deep-tendon reflex testing, strength and sensory testing.

🗣️Palpation

👉The patient reports sensitivity during palpation at the greater sciatic notch, in the region of sacroiliac joint or over the piriformis muscle belly. It is possible to detect the spasm of the PM by careful, deep palpation.

👉With deep digital palpation in the gluteal and retro-trochanteric area, there may be tenderness and pain with an exacerbation of tightness and leg numbness.

🗣️Observation:

👉Patients with piriformis syndrome may also present with gluteal atrophy, as well as shortening of the limb on the affected side.In chronic cases, muscle hypotrophy is present in the affected extremity.

🗣️Special test:

👉Lasèque sign / Straight Leg Raise Test.
👉FAIR test.
👉Hughes test.
👉Hip Abduction Test.
👉Trendelenburg Test.
👉Beatty’s Manoeuver

Priformis Syndromes

Relationship bw Piriformis Muscle and Sciatic Nerve:

The sciatic nerve generally exits the pelvis below the belly of the muscle, however many congenital variations may exist.

The relationships between the Piriformis Muscle and sciatic nerve have been classified by Beaton and Anson using a six category classification system.

Variations in the relationship of the sciatic nerve to the piriformis muscle shown on the diagram below:

Type A:
The sciatic nerve exiting the greater sciatic foramen along the inferior surface of the piriformis muscle; the sciatic nerve splitting as it passes through the piriformis muscle with the tibial branch passing.

Type B:
Inferiorly.

Type C:
Superiorly.

🏋️Type D:
The entire sciatic nerve passing through the muscle belly.

🏋️Type E:
The sciatic nerve exiting the greater sciatic foramen along the superior surface of the piriformis muscle. The nerve may also divide proximally, where the nerve or a division of the nerve may pass through the belly of the muscle, through its tendons or between the part of a congenitally bifid muscle.

🏋️Type F:
Diagram showing an unreported additional B-type variation consisting of a smaller accessory piriformis (AP) with its own separate tendon. SN sciatic nerve, P piriformis muscle, SG superior gemellus muscle.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is most common form of arthritis. Some call it degenerative joint disease or “wear and tear” arthritis. It occurs most frequently in the hands, hips, and knees.

With OA, the cartilage within a joint begins to break down and the underlying bone begins to change.

Signs and Symptoms of OA?

-Pain or aching
-Stiffness
-Decreased range of motion (or flexibility)
-Swelling

Risk factors for OA?
Joint injury or overuse, such as knee bending and repetitive stress on a joint
Age—The risk of developing OA increases with age.
Gender—Women are more likely to develop OA than men, especially after age 50.
Obesity—Extra weight puts more stress on joints, particularly weight-bearing joints like the hips and knees.
Genetics—People who have family members with OA are more likely to develop OA.

OA diagnosed?
OA is diagnosed through a review of symptoms, physical examination, X-rays, and lab tests.

OA treated?
Doctors usually treat OA symptoms with a combination of therapies, which may include the following:
-Increasing physical activity
-Physical therapy with muscle strengthening exercises
-Weight loss
-Medications, including over-the-counter pain relievers and prescription drugs
-Supportive devices such as crutches or canes
-Surgery (if other treatment options have not been effective).
