Knee Examination - Orthopaedics 

To clarify, from the Journal of Clinical Examination re McMurray's: To assess for a medial meniscal tear, flex the knee fully and externally rotate the foot. Apply a valgus force to the lower leg. Now, extend the knee and note the presence of a painful click over the medial joint line as the femur passes over a tear in the meniscus. For lateral meniscal tear, flex the knee fully and internally rotate foot. Now, apply a varus force to the lower leg. Extend the knee and note the presence of a click with pain over lateral joint line. Note, a negative McMurray’s test does not exclude a meniscal tear. The McMurray test had a sensitivity of 53 percent and a specificity of 59 percent.

Dear Oxford Medical videos Very informative video. A small detail is however that at 1.41 we are told to keep an eye for wasting of vastus medialis but it appears she is pointing at the vastus lateralis.

Thank you! This is a great help to me

Hello my name is Doctor Gill. Superb!

Thanks for your comment. For those interested in reading about the pivot shift test, Wheeless' Textbook of Orthopaedics online is a good place to start.

This is very helpful !! Thank u guys!!

well done, very good job. thank you.

very nice for all students

Thanks a lot you made my exam very good. why you people stop uploading....

I thought that for Mc Murray's the two variations to be performed were; 1. Valgus force and Internal Rotation of the shank 2. Varus force and External ration of the shank ???

I have valgus! Plzzz tell me any treatment for it

Very detailed video....dont' they have the knee surgery to go along with this video or another video so we can see how its now done using mechanical devices and rubbers and metals or a jus Acha...aren't they great Singler for la what de loup, hummus?

Pivot shift test, would have been useful to include.

Very Thorough...

Can you come up Newcastle and check mine please

The less palpations you do the better you are off. So to inspect the back of the knee I would have asked the patient to stand or turnover....

Thx

The narrator's accent ebbs and flows. Makes me wonder if she spent significant time in America.

He should really have socks off, to inspect for pes planus and cavus.

nice

Not a bad pair of knees them

Thanks for the video but the excent is very excessive and annoying had to relay only on captions

McMurry’s test is useless...
