Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury among Patients with Knee Injury Visiting the Out-patient Department of Orthopaedics of a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.

Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament injury diagnoses are often missed at initial presentation. Though better diagnosed by physical examinations when done by orthopaedics surgeons, proper history is also important in diagnosing it. This study aimed to find the prevalence of anterior cruciate ligament injury among patients with knee injury visiting the out-patient Department of Orthopaedics of a tertiary care centre.

Validity of flounce sign to rule out medial meniscus tear in knee arthroscopy.

Background: The meniscal flounce is wavy fold in free inner border of meniscus seen during knee arthroscopy. The presence of this flounce in medial meniscus has been found to be highly predictive of normal medial meniscus. With meniscus related symptoms being commonest indication for undergoing knee arthroscopy, presence or absence of medial meniscus flounce, can be a good guiding sign.
