Impingement syndrome associated with whiplash injury.

We examined 524 patients with whiplash injuries for delayed onset of shoulder pain in order to establish whether this was due to impingement syndrome. A total of 476 patients (91%) responded to a questionnaire of which 102 (22%) were entered into the study; 43 had both a positive impingement sign and Neer test. The incidence of impingement-type pain was 9%. After treatment 23 patients (5%) had a significant improvement in their symptoms, ten (2%) had a moderate improvement and nine had no improvement. Impingement-type pain can occur after whiplash injuries and can be successfully treated.

Displaced bucket handle tears of the medial meniscus masking anterior cruciate deficiency.

Traditionally, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have been difficult to diagnose in the Casualty Department. Studies have shown that the anterior drawer test has a poor sensitivity both in acute and chronic ACL deficient knees [4, 6, 9]; thus, more emphasis has been placed on the pivot shift and Lachman tests [3]. We report four cases of proven ACL rupture where clinical examination revealed an absent pivot shift and a near normal Lachman test following a displaced bucket handle tear of the medial meniscus. This finding has been reproduced in cadaver studies, and we conclude that if the history strongly suggests an ACL injury and examination reveals a stable knee, then the dual pathology of medial meniscus tear and ACL rupture should be suspected.
