Excellent job on last week's quiz everyone! The depth of clinical reasoning and discussion in that thread was impressive. Keep engaging guys, this is exactly how you make your clinical reasoning razor sharp! This week we are back to dissecting case studies in their entirety. Case study 2: 30-year-old male, started running 4 months ago, training for his first half marathon. During a sprint session, felt sudden pain in the back of the right thigh while taking off for a sprint. Pain is sharp and localized to posterior thigh. Pain gets worse with running, especially uphill or sprinting. Aggs: bending forward, resisted knee flexion. What would you do from here? What are some potential diagnosis to consider and how would you differentiate between them?

Hey guys, Great to see everyone really enjoying the official case study last week. This week we are doing a rapid-fire round with short quizzes! Answer the question below to test your knowledge! Those of you not on level 2 yet, this is your chance to unlock amazing resources that took me hours to put together... all for FREE. Engage, engage, engage and learn! Question 1: 28-year-old boxer, boxing for 4 years. Threw an overhand right punch, next day felt pain around the front side of his shoulder. Aggs: Hand to head, pressing, hand behind back, struggles to drive at times What structures do you think are affected? Comment below WHY

@Sree Mittapally is the winner of our most recent case study about medial knee pain! Well done Sree! The answer is pes anserine pathology. It’s actually a lot simpler than you think. The pes anserinus is a rotatory stabilizer of the knee. It is a bundle of connective tissue that inserts the following muscles into proximomedial tibia - A) Adductor - Gracilis B) External rotator & Hip flexor - Sartorius C) Semitendinosus - Medial hamstring The type of movement was a “free kick” in soccer, primarily involves - A) Hip flexion B) External rotation C) Adduction Since the movement is mainly ADDUCTION in EXTERNAL ROTATION it would make sense that it is a pes anserine problem. If you confirm with palpation, it should be tender to touch and a dead give away. Well done @Sree Mittapally Next step will be CAUSE of the problem and MANAGEMENT 🚀

Welcome to the FIRST case study in Case study corner! This week, I have a case study that might just bring you to your KNEES! CASE STUDY: Tim is a 27-year-old semi-professional soccer player. One week ago, during soccer training, Tim felt pain in his left knee after kicking the ball. Tim was able to keep playing. He reports that the pain has been increasing in intensity over the last few days especially with activities that require full weightbearing and/ or full knee flexion. WHAT WOULD YOU DO NEXT?

Last week someone asked to do a clinical poll. Business topic was a bit slow for traction so let’s see what you guys want to discuss RE clinical assessment or diagnosis. Or even just a discussion topic… how about tackling knee pain and an associated cause?
