3) A youth athlete has increased anterior knee pain after an increase in volume of soccer practices and games. Pain is localized to the inferior pole of the patella at the proximal attachment of the patellar tendon. What is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Osgood-Schlatter Disease
B. Patellar tendonopathy
C. Sinding-Larsen-Johansson Syndrome
Since the patient is a youth athlete, and the location of the pain is at the inferior pole of the patella you should suspect answer choice C. Answer choice A is likely when pain is localized to the tibial tubercle.
D. Medial patellofemoral ligament sprain
4) Which is the most common range that the patella dislocates at?
A. 0º to 20º
The patella most commonly dislocates between the ranges of 0º to 20º, bony stability between the patellofemoral joint is maximized between 20º and 60º.
B. 20º to 40º
C. 40º to 60º
D. 60º to 80º
5) What is the ideal knee flexion angle for cyclists to reduce knee injuries when the shank and pedal are closest to the ground?
A, 15º to 20º
B. 20º to 25º
C. 25º to 30º
This is the best answer choice.
D. 30º to 35º
