[Clinical examination of the knee].

The clinical examination of the knee joint represents a great challenge as well as a great opportunity. In particular, ligamentous injuries are understood better despite their complexity and thus treated in a more differentiated way. A purely radiologically based diagnosis is only possible to a limited extent, especially for chronic injuries. ⋯ This article gives an overview of the most important examination techniques of the knee joint, with which the decisive analysis of acute or chronic injuries and overuse syndromes of the knee can be carried out. Particularly in the field of ligament instability, this article provides a practical guide for the differentiated examination of complex rotational instability of the knee joint. In addition, the most important patellar and meniscal examination techniques are described.

AbstractThe clinical examination of the knee joint represents a great challenge as well as a great opportunity. In particular, ligamentous injuries are understood better despite their complexity and thus treated in a more differentiated way. A purely radiologically based diagnosis is only possible to a limited extent, especially for chronic injuries. Therefore, complex ligament injuries can be diagnosed with the aid of a differentiated clinical examination. This article gives an overview of the most important examination techniques of the knee joint, with which the decisive analysis of acute or chronic injuries and overuse syndromes of the knee can be carried out. Particularly in the field of ligament instability, this article provides a practical guide for the differentiated examination of complex rotational instability of the knee joint. In addition, the most important patellar and meniscal examination techniques are described.
