    Re: Posterior and Medial knee pain

    Although a little old check the hip and clear it as a potential referral site e.g. slipped epiphysis. If there are local knee signs (e.g. tenderness over fenoraml condyle and pain with loaded knee ROM) then an OCD lesion should be suspected and ruled out given his age and activity it doesn't sound like a loose body yet but it may be the early stages. Beyond that I would throroughly check the hamstrings and associated neural provocation tests as a potential source.

    Re: Posterior and Medial knee pain

    Thanks for all the replys and wow its overwelming all the opions that i could do, and most of it i would have to research as i have a basic knowledge considering that this is my first year.

    The feedback might take some time as i am working in a rural area where money is scares and the patients are not able to attend physio regularly. That is also why the subjective assessment is so poor because of the language barrier (pt speaks zulu).

    Thanks again

    Re: Posterior and Medial knee pain

    I would be inclined to try to relate back to how the pain started in the first place. McMurray's test along with any other manual test, is not sensitive nor specific to diagnose meniscal injury. Also consider patellofemoral joint.

    Good luck,
    M.
