When my ortho did the McMurray test it was neg. it was 10 days after I injured it. MRI showed complex radial meniscus tear, a Baker's cyst & bone contusion and loose bodies & tissue edema. I had a partial meniscectomy 6 mos. later. Also my knee never swelled up at all.

You say in this video that you are testing the lateral meniscus when you flexed the knee AND internally rotated the lower leg. However, in your joint line tenderness palpation video you state that external rotation of the lower leg exposes the lateral meniscus. Could you please confirm which is correct? Thank you.

@youchazza 9 ай бұрын

You say in the video: 'you want to repeat this movement a couple of times with a different angle of knee flexion.' Can you explain further what you mean? The knee is moved through full flexion in every one of your movements.

You have to keep the other hand( thumb/fingers) at the joint line to palpate for the click

@Physiotutors 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah, there is different descriptions for the execution of the McMurray test with some describing the palpation of the joint line for a palpable click. Others (like us) focus more on valgus force, which is why our hand is placed like shown in the video. A click can be heard (by the examiner or patient) or felt by the patient for the test to be positive.

when you make a assessment of lateral meniscus you need to rotate the tibia internal and to assesment of medial meniscus do a external rotation. I see that you dont do this, was for some reason?.

Hello, I did this test and upon external rotation of tibia I experienced some pain, which indicates a possible medial meniscus tear. However, during palpation it was in fact the lateral region where the lateral meniscus was located that was tender (and the medial side was completely painless). What gives?

@Physiotutors 6 жыл бұрын

You have to realize that all meniscus tests have limited accuracy. This means that one single positive test doesn't have to mean much in general. Kim et al. describe that lateral rotation could also stress the lateral meniscus and explain their mechanistic logic behind it here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8638759

@ChowMeinChowdown 6 жыл бұрын

Ok, thanks for the reply. May I know how common is it for meniscus tear symptoms to go away completely after 24-36 hours of initial pain? I tested positive for McMurray's and Thessaly's, but within about a day all the pain was gone. Could I have misdiagnosed myself?

@miancu3 6 жыл бұрын

ChowMeinChowdown Short answer is yes. Meniscus tears dont just resolve in a day. You likely had a small sprain of the LCL, maybe IT band was sore, who the heck knows. If you’re truly worried about your pain and RICE doesnt resolve it (rest, ice, compression, elevation) + NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen) or Tylenol dont resolve it then go to the doctor. Stop diagnosing yourself through KZfaq videos.

@craftylilbastard 5 жыл бұрын

the outer 1/3 is vascularized and therefore self limiting/healing the inner 2/3 and would require surgical repair. regardless if its inner or outer part, it wont resolve in a day. i second these guys MRI would be more accurate. these test are just one of few to r/i , r/o which structures are most likely involved. foreign object lodged in there would also present with meniscal ssx - ie locking and pain.

Hi. Have you any pearls of wisdom regarding appropriate special tests for what appears to be a painful knee medial snapping syndrome? McMurrays test for meniscal damage is negative, and all knee ligament stress tests are unremarkable. A snapping is both visible and palpable over the pes anserine region. A literature search has turned up no clinical tests, only a recommendation of dynamic ultrasound and surgical management of a rarely diagnosed snapping pes anserine. Functionally, the knee " painfully collapses when carrying a load down stairs, and occasionally on walking"
