PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Name: ______________________________
A. Chart Note
The patient is having pain around the medial aspect of his left knee. About 12 years ago he had a
tear of his medial meniscus (crescent-shaped fibrocartilage), which was removed. On examination,
he has a well-healed medial scar to his left knee; there was no effusion; full range of motion; and it
is stable. X-rays show very slight scarring of the medial femoral condyle and a small accessory bone
medially, but nothing in the interior of the joint. The great toe shows a healed fracture. There was
no obvious exostosis impinging on the base of the nail.

may be complications of underlying osteoporosis as severe as hers.
