A member asked:
Can pain behind the knee cause medial meniscus pain? what is thessaly exam for the knee ? how is that preformed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it possible: Ameans of detecting meniscal tears of the knee by comparing arthroscopic findings to a clinical examination finding. Patient stands flat footed on one leg while the examiner provides his or her hands for balance. The patient then flexes the knee to 20 degrees and rotates the femur on the tibia medially and laterally three times while maintaining the 20 degrees flexion.
