Knee injury ,Injuries - Everything You Need To Know - Dr. Nabil Ebraheim

Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describing the anatomy and associated injuries of the knee joint.
Disrupted quadriceps
•Patient is unable to actively extend the knee.
The most common cause of ACL ruptures:
•Traumatic force being applied during twisting motion.
•Side stepping or landing from a jump.
Patient complains of:
•Immediate pain
•Knee giving way
•Swelling
Aspiration of the knee
•If aspiration of the knee joint shows evidence of blood within the joint there is 75-80% chance of ACL and meniscal injury.
Lachamn’s test- ACL knee exam
•Knee is flexed at 30 degrees.
•ACL tear of the knee is identified by pulling on the tibia and examining the frontward motion of the lower leg in comparison to the upper leg.
Radiological exam - ACL
•MRI of the knee joint shows bone lesions or bruising associated with tears of the ACL. Injury is found in the typical location; middle of the femoral condyle and posterior part of the tibia laterally.
Posterior cruciate ligament tear (PCL)
•Common cause of injury is a bent knee hitting a dashboard in a car accident.
Tibial Sag Test -PCL knee exam
Quadriceps active test-PCL knee exam
•The examiner stabilizes the leg of the patient and then the patient is asked to actively contract the quadriceps muscle.
•The tibia is seen actively reduced from the posterior subluxed position.
Lachman’s test-PCL knee exam
•Knee is bent 20-30 degrees.
•The posterior drawer test is carried out while the patient is in a supine position and the knee is flexed to 90 degrees.
•The amount of translation of the tibia relative to the femur is observed.
The dial test is performed while the patient is in the supine or prone position and both knees are in 90 and 30 degrees of flexion. More than 10 degrees of external rotation indicates significant injury.
Common meniscal tears
Symptoms include
•Knee pain
•Pain with straightening the knee
•Swelling
•Locking
•Weakness

Today, I went into hospital for knee surgery. When I awoke, I was surprised to find a bandage wrapped around my throbbing head. The nurse explained that a student observer had fainted in the operating room and his head had smashed against mine on the way down.

[@nabilebraheim]

It depends on your definition of locking. Locking typically occurs from meniscus tear. see a doc for an exam

[@165liam]

I'd been suffering with bad knee pain for about 2 weeks, coming from the back of my knee & partly above & below my knee at the rear of it. I put it down to a strain on the hamstring, but it was really painful for a while in the mornings.i work manually & found one morning i was like a spectator on the job as I was working on hill like ground. However I was working on a few home projects over the following week & the pain in the area wasn't getting any better. I was getting into my car a few days later & i felt a crack like noise coming from my knee & instantly my knee gave in, I found it extremely hard to try & stand & bare weight, it took me about 15 minutes to get back into my home because of the extreme pain. I'm using crutches for the past 2 days, I realize I'll have to get to my doctor to get a proper diagnoses. This video has been a great help to understanding the injury I may have. Thank you for the information guys!

[@nabilebraheim]

The treatment is usually ice, NSAIDS, decreased physical activity, crutches, bracing, therapy. If it is an isolated injury, surgery is usually not needed. However, when there is associated injuries with other ligaments, surgery may be needed to prevent future instability. Always consult your doctor before you make decisions for your medical care.

This would be better if you included as much detail into the LCL/MCL injury - I would really like to have seen a live video showing the test and/or injury like you did for the ACL/PCL.

[@austusd9045]

Thanks doctor for the lecture. Please, I underwent IM nailing surgery a week ago on my right femur. After the surgery, I discovered that I could neither bend my knee or raise the leg. Any possible movement to lay by my side results to a skip sensation between my knee and the tibial plateau. I'm wondering what could be going on in my knee. Please I need your advice. Thanks.

[@borhanuddin6997]

Thanks for your videos.

[@nabilebraheim]

It depends on what is shown on the MRI. You should have a better idea of your treatment plan after the scan and your doctor see's the results.

[@nabilebraheim]

THANK YOU SPREAD THE WORD

[@sgsarfarzraz6880]

sir hindi me video banaiye

[@TaxEvasi0n]

More informative then all the other videos, however I don’t have an answer to what my issue is. Narrowed it down. Sounds like snapping/crunching when knee is flexed, only when my quads are also flexed. I can make the snapping/crunching within 3-5 degrees of full extention, 2 sounds right after the other. I can let my knee swing while standing and no issue, only when everything is flexed are there sounds.

[@Laughinglinesbyvishal]

Thanks sir. Nice video

[@rakistangpinoy4745]

good video. I landed on my right knee a week ago coming off from a lift doing snowboarding. went to see a chiro yesterday and he said i sprained my MCL. came here to look for exercise to help me heal faster because i still want to go snowboarding this time but will be wearing knee pads for sure.

[@abdulqadirmaricar4596]

Bucket Handle is what I've got, I'm glad you covered that. I really hope I do not need surgery.

[@mikstaslaya]

Very informative video! I am a regular adventurer. Or at least, I used to be. Recently, I received a puncturing injury to my right knee due to an accident involving a misfired arrow. I'm able to walk on it and the pain is subsiding on some occasions with proper medication and less lollygagging, but my job has been affected as I am forced into guard duty while my cousin, whose knee is still perfectly intact, is out fighting dragons.

[@mackenziefrenze1676]

Thanks for this very informative video. I am a regular badminton player. Recently, I am getting knee ache on my left knee. Typically, it pains a lot in the beginning of games and after a while it goes away. Also i notice pain when I climb stairs. Normal walking is fine. Your advice is much appreciated.

Thanks for the information Doctors in my area don't know anything. Anyone help? Basically the right knee has a fractured ligament and is getting worse, can barley walk. What would be the best thing to do

[@kirdref9431]

At time 5:29, can you please explain that we are viewing is the right knee, and at 5:42 that we are viewing TWO *right* knees seen side by side. Explanation could be in the form of marking the pictures, and also stating the facts in the audio track. The only reason I can decode the picture is that the kneecap is visible, hence frontal (=anterior) view, and that lateral means outside (to the side) and medial means inside (in the middle). Even better, show both right and left leg at the same time, instead of two right legs, and most of the opportunity for confusion goes away. Otherwise a great video, I'm going to finish watching now. Thanks!

[@nabilebraheim]

@chinafox1 some kind of dislocation with avulsion of a piece of bone the dislocation can not be reduced by closed means

great video. I used to play soccer a lot as a kid I'm in mid thirtees and I feel constant burn that I wouldn't call a sharp stabwoond like pain but rather an unconfurtable heat like burning that increases if I stand for a while. oh and when I squat my knees constantly crack. what could possibly cause that please.

[@Idk-dt3xb]

Thank you so much

[@Ferroxnl]

Great information video,best one on here. can i had a bad injury with out any swelling? how often the MRI fails? Becouse the MRI results says everything was intact but for 6 months I couldn't strech out my leg due to a twisted knee pain it was lock, I walk better now but I still have some pain and feel scare to run or kick. What could be? Thanks again for this great video!

[@nabilebraheim]

thanks

[@JayTellerMundo]

Dr. Nabil, can locking of the knee occur with an MCL and ACL tear/sprain, or does that only occur with meniscal tears? Asking simply because I wish to have more of an idea as to what kind of knee injury I might possibly have. Thank you!

[@momny03]

GREAT VIDEO...HELPED A LOT! Hey Doc, I hurt what I think is my Patellar tendon, I don't have insurance now, so what can I do on my own to help with the healing process. The pain is concentrated right below my knee cap, and I can not lift my leg while laying down with out severe pain. I'm icing it but so far no good.. I had surgery on my other knee (ACL/meniscus) several years back. Please help and thank you.

[@michaeljoe2650]

last Friday night I when to a metal concert and got into a mosh pit and felt on my knee really hard which I had to be lifted up by some ramdom which was very nice of them doing for me because I need help up. it gonna be one week and I thought the pain was going to go away but still hurting like crazy. the video scared me but I needed answers and i got them which im afraid still because I know it gonna be painful when I see a doctor. thank you for the video and I found my answer, now I need to really go see a doctor for my right knee.

[@educationlifeguards8338]

Hello, thank you for this video. I had an accident where I cruckled on my right ankle then landed with full force on my left leg and felt an excruciating burn on the front of my left thigh and fell on the floor. I am waiting to see a specialist. However, I have snapped the quad off the patella before on my right leg 4 years ago (maybe I am prone to injury from OI type 1?) and I was wondering... If I can't do a leg raise and the CT scan said my tendon was still attached... What does this suggest?

[@senolkarakaya]

Thank you sir

[@johnjennings7180]

I'm an inside linebacker and while I was making a tackle someone hit the outside of my left knee I'm pretty sure the ligament there got torn or some shit like that will it ever heal,how long does it usually take, and will I be able to play football again

[@nabilebraheim]

@carrotpick It sounds like you are describing an injury to the medial collateral ligament of the knee. This injury may require bracing and sometimes even surgery, you should be examined by an orthopaedic surgeon. make sure you check your ligaments and the knee cap

[@gregarellano6430]

I fell on the ground hard thanks to the ice... I hurt my knee pretty hard it swelled up a lot, and I knew it wasn't broken but I was in so much pain. Its been a month and my knee has healed a bit but everytime I run ( active runner) I feel it pop and the pain comes back for a couple of moments, and then I can continue. Idk if I should rest more or keep on running slowly to help with my problem ?

[@MrUmerTV]

Great video! I messed up my ankle & knee in a sparring match for TKD. Docs said 3-6 months before I reach pre injury strength with my damaged ligaments but it is REALLY painful at times. I'm seeing progress with my ankle strength but not so much my knee which is so annoying. Glad this can help me figure what new exercises I might wanna try though.

[@Kingx90]

How are you doing these days??

[@ronaldgarcia1116]

I have a knee injury at my right knee leg. i played basketball then i jump to block the opponent but when i goes down my knee was moving and it is hurt me. What should i do? To make it back to normal and came back may knee function if i make an physical activities?

[@arianaacosta2451]

fell by the pool 2 days ago, and doc said today Knee Effusion ~ here I am learning now (:

[@Chelokrohn]

Are there any exercises recommended to heal some or most of the described injuries?

[@joycehall2580]

I've had knee problems and have dislocated it once. My mum goes for a knee reconstruction next month because she torn one of her ligaments so bad that it somehow pulled part of the bone of. She has had lots of problems with her leg because she torn her calf muscle a few years ago and dislocated her knee. Her knee commonly pops out and it's scary how she can just accept the pain.

yeah it is just about, i am 9 months out of the surgery, my doctor released me fully at 7 months... he told me to stay in the brace when i play baseball though, only until october, my knee feels 100% now but i think once im a full year out ill be in the condition i was before the tear, when did you tear yours?

[@huckusan]

Great video. Thanks Doc! But why does the audio sound like you're flying a plane and speaking over a headset. If you are giving this lecture while flying a plane that is BOSS!
