Semimembranosus insertion syndrome: a treatable and frequent cause of persistent knee pain.

The semimembranosus insertion syndrome causes pain at the medial aspect of the knee. This pain is aggravated by exercise, walking downstairs and sharp bending of the knee. The patient experiences tender, moderately puffy swelling at the lowest part of the medial hamstrings muscles and painful passive rotation of the knee, while finger pressure over the insertion of the semimembranosus tendon elicits sharp pain. One hundred patients with semimembranosus insertion syndrome were treated with local injection of lidocaine hydrochloride and triamcinolone. All experienced temporary relief of pain immediately. Long-lasting relief of signs and symptoms was achieved in 58 patients, 30 of whom required repeat injections in 3 to 5 months. Pain decreased and disability was less severe in 9 other patients. There were 18 treatment failure, and 15 patients were lost to follow-up.

Motor sensory dysfunction of upper limb due to conversion syndrome.

Seven patients had functional paralysis that occurred in the dominant limb together with joint contracture and sensory disturbances associated with emotional problems. In five of these patients, the syndrome was preceded by trauma to the affected upper limb and in one patient by a myocardial infarction. The treatment consisted of persuasion, suggestion, general rhythmic exercises and emotional support given by the physiatrist (not a psychiatrist). In five of the subjects treated, the symptoms disappeared and the patients soon returned to work. In two patients the treatment did not succeed since no satisfactory rapport could be established between the patient and the physician.
