McMurray’s test may be positive, and full-
flexion weight bearing, such as the squat position, is painful, with local
tenderness to palpation over the tibial plateau anterolaterally or
anteromedially.
Cause
The coronary ligament that tethers the meniscus
anteriorly is strained, usually by load bearing, full flexion of the knee.
The possibility of meniscal tears should also be considered.
Treatment
Avoid full squat positions. Anti- inflammatory
measures, such as cortisone injections or electrotherapeutic modalities.
Sports
The injury has often been caused in a fall or
stumble, although usually the player can run or play through the pain, but full
squats must be avoided.
Comment
An athlete could play a full season of elite
sport with this injury, just by avoiding full knee squats, and the injury can
be settled with time. It can be quite responsive to cortisone injections.
