History o o o o o o o. Nature of any swelling- hemarthrosis: bleeding into the joint, typically occurs more quickly than synovial effusion. #, meniscal tears, capsular tears, may be the cause. A knee radiograph is indicated after trauma when at least one of the following is present: Age greater than 55 or less than 18. Be suspicious of: high speed injuries, younger patient who may avulse a bony fragment, clinical suspicion of loose bodies. Patellar dislocation occurs when the patella moves out of its groove laterally onto/over the femoral condyle. Forceful knee er (tibia er/femur ir) +/- forceful quads cxn. Knee usually near full extension (out of trochlea) May report feeling knee shift , move or pop out . If it does not, do not force the patella medial. If patella is dislocated, slightly flex the hip and slowly extend the knee. There may be some associated fractures (back of the patella, lateral femoral condyle)
