    Patient with 12 weeks history of medial knee pain following a sudden knee twist during football on a sandy beach. Swelling is very mild and no evidence of inflammation. His current problems are occasional dull deep ache during static positions (sitting and standing), medial knee pain during end range flexion but symptoms are not actually limiting the functional activities that much, he been advised to visit you (physiotherapist) for advices and management plan if necessary. Your management for day one may include (it is about decision making here): note you live on a quiet island in the ocean where MRI does not exist.

    1-Apply Active/passive ROM test - Assess gluts activity -use functional testing as an outcome measures to come up with a problem list to guide your treatment selection e.g. mobilisation at end range - activation of gluts, quads and hamstring - advice to avoid static knee postures.

    2- Apply knee valgus test, McMurray test, Thessaly's test to differentiate between MCL and meniscus origin of symptoms if any positive apply passive modalities e.g. US, Interferential, low-level laser and advice him to limit the knee movement for more 6 weeks.

      2018 Consensus statement on treatment for the patellofemoral pain

      2018 Consensus statement on exercise therapy and physical interventions (orthoses, taping and manual therapy) to treat patellofemoral pain Recommendations from the 5th International Patellofemoral Pain Research Retreat, Gold Coast, Australia, 2017 Exercise therapy remains the intervention of choice for patellofemoral pain✔️ It is recommended that exercise targeting the hip and knee is a key component of management for all patients with patellofemoral pain, particularly when used in combination. Combined interventions and foot orthoses are recommended to reduce pain in the short to medium terms📣 The expert panel recommends the use of combined interventions (management programme incorporating exercise in conjunction with at least one of the following: foot orthoses, patellar taping or manual therapy) to reduce pain in the short and medium terms and prefabricated foot orthoses to reduce pain in the short term. It should be noted that there is no evidence supporting combined interventions beyond 12 months for adults with patellofemoral pain. Prefabricated foot orthoses remain a recommendation for short-term relief of patellofemoral pain. 👟 Joint mobilisation and electrophysical agents are not recommended for patellofemoral pain♨️ The expert panel recommends against the use of patellofemoral, knee and lumbar mobilisation, as well as electrophysical agents, as primary interventions when managing patients with patellofemoral pain. It should be noted that patellofemoral mobilisation can be used as a component of a combined intervention approach where appropriate, with evidence and expert opinion in support. It is advised that these passive interventions should not be the focus of future RCTs.

      Words matter.

      Imagine how this common misconceptions and beliefs will negatively affect your treatment outcomes. Patient Education is a crucial part of the management for Osteoarthritis patients.

      Knee replacement

      Total knee replacement followed by nonsurgical treatment is superior to nonsurgical treatment: *Providing pain relief. * Improving function. *Improving quality of life.
