I'm trying to figure out my approximate rating for a knee injury. I had a knee scope, and physical therapy for a "patella chondral defect".
Have gone through all the appointments and whatnot. I'm just trying to decypher my ROM tests to see what that translates to on the rating scale. Really just trying to get an idea of what they will rate my knee at.
Here's what the QTC Dr wrote about my knee:
Left knee- Abnormal or outside of normal range
Flexion: 0-80 degrees
Extension: 0-80 degrees
ROM exhibited pain in both.
Evidence of pain in weight bearing: yes
Pain noted on examination and causes functional loss
Localized pain and tenderness from palpation
Pain, weakness, and fatigability significantly limit functional ability with flare ups
Functional impact:
No running, jumping, squatting, climbing, crawling, or repetitive lifting.
Thats the important stuff, I believe. I've got other things that I've claimed, but they're more easy to understand. If any more information is needed, I'dbe happy to find it.
Much appreciated.
