Orthopedic Q&A: ACL Recovery, Hip Pain, and Foot Problems | OEP375

Ortho Eval Pal: Optimizing Orthopedic Evaluations and Management Skills

Send us a text

We tackle three common orthopedic questions submitted through YouTube, Facebook, and podcast emails. From diagnostic challenges to treatment options, these Q&As provide practical guidance for patients experiencing hip, foot, and knee conditions.
• Young adults with hip pain that mimics arthritis might actually have labral tears or femoral acetabular impingement requiring MR arthrogram for diagnosis
• Morton's neuroma and metatarsalgia can coexist because they share common causes like calf tightness and forefoot pressure
• Metatarsalgia encompasses several diagnoses including sesamoiditis, capsulitis, and plantar plate tears
• Morton's neuroma typically causes paresthesia in the third/fourth toes with sharp, shocking pain
• Treatment for foot conditions includes orthotics, stretching, metatarsal pads and intrinsic strengthening
• ACL tears won't heal themselves, but some patients can function well without surgical repair
• Secondary restraints (menisci, capsule, muscles) significantly influence knee stability after ACL injury
• Non-athletes and those avoiding cutting/pivoting sports are better candidates for non-surgical ACL management
