EP053 - Knee Injury_ Examination and Diagnosis

This podcast is based on clinical scenarios from the official AMC Handbook of Clinical Assessment published by the Australian Medical Council. All cases are used solely for study and discussion. We provide personal learning insights and clinical interpretations to support AMC candidates in developing their clinical reasoning skills. The AMC Handbook is the intellectual property of the Australian Medical Council. To access the official material, please visit the AMC website. This episode outlines a simulated medical examination scenario focusing on a patient experiencing recurrent painful swelling in their right knee following an injury six months prior. The primary purpose is to assess a candidate's ability to perform a thorough physical examination of the knee, accurately identify the problem, and develop a diagnostic or differential diagnostic plan. Key issues for the candidate include assessing the knee's stability, range of motion, and tenderness, with potential diagnoses ranging from meniscal tears to ligamentous injuries, while avoiding critical errors like neglecting to compare the injured knee to the healthy one.#AMC #OSCE #ClinicalReasoning #MedicalEducation #IMGs #AustralianMedicalCouncil #KneePainRelief #KneeSwelling #MeniscusInjury #KneeExamination #ChronicPain #MusculoskeletalHealth #PhysicalTherapy #KneeHealthInsights
