Across
  1. 2. Involves irritation of the patellar tendon complex-chronic inflammatory condition. Common in adolescents who experience excessive muscle activity at growth plate. Signs/symptoms: pain and tenderness about the patellar tendon complex, swelling in the area, decreased ability to use the quadriceps.
  2. 4. injured when the tibia moves forcefully in a posterior direction or when the femur gets pushed forward while the tibia is held in place.
  3. 9. Dislocation of the knee or the tibiofemoral joint can compromise blood flow to the lower leg. Very serious and needs immediate attention. Signs/symptoms: Deformity and complete dysfunction of the joint, extreme pain.
  4. 11. injured when the tibia moves forcefully in an anterior direction or when the femur gets pushed backward while the tibia is held in place. Quick rotational movements without contact, stops and starts, or awkward landings.
  5. 12. when the menisci are typically damaged by quick, sharp, and cutting movements. Injury is more likely to occur if the foot is planted firmly on the playing surface. Signs and symptoms: pop or snap when knee was injured. Loss of ROM. Athlete may be able to continue participating. Feeling the knee is "giving out".
Down
  1. 1. May be caused by quick cutting motion that generates a great deal of abnormal force within the knee. Instead of moving normall the patella moves laterally and may dislocate. Signs and symptoms: severe pain and abnormal movement of the patella when injury occurred. Patella may be obviously out-of-place, swelling and extreme pain along the medial aspect of the patella.
  2. 3. can be caused by direct trauma, overuse, or infection. Signs/Symptoms: swelling and tenderness at site, pain when increased external pressure is applied, athlete may report direct trauma to knee.
  3. 5. creates retropatellar (behind the patella) pain of an idiopathis nature. This typically occurs in athletes such as runners or gymnasts who perform a great deal of repetitive movements in their sports activities.
  4. 6. sprain to MCL or LCL. MCL is a result of a valgus stress and LCL is a result of a varus stress on the knee. Both types of sprains render knee unstable in side-to-side movements
  5. 7. Condition occurs when small pieces of bone are dislodged from joint and float within capsule. A bone fragment can block or lock a joint's motion and cause damage to the joint surface. Signs/symptoms: Chronic swelling and knee pain with extertion, knee may loc, quadriceps may atrophy, femoral condyles may be tender when palpated
  6. 8. A softening and wearing out of the posterior cartilage surface of the patella
  7. 10. an irritation (tendinitis) of the patellar tendon complex between it's attachments on the tibia and the patella. Signs and Symptoms: pain and tenderness around the patellar tendon complex that may spread to the tibial tuberosity, decreased ability to use quadriceps for running or jumping, and symptoms that worsen with activity
