Thank you for referring Sarah to me.
**Provisional or final diagnosis:**
Right knee osteoarthritis. Suspected medial meniscal tear.
**Plan:**
Advised Sarah to commence a course of physiotherapy to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve range of motion. Discussed the option of intra-articular corticosteroid injection if symptoms persist. Scheduled a follow-up appointment in six weeks to review progress. Further imaging with MRI to confirm the meniscal tear.
**History:**
Sarah presented with a six-month history of right knee pain, which she described as a dull ache that worsened with activity and prolonged standing. She reported a recent episode of locking and clicking in the knee. There was no history of trauma. She reported that the pain was affecting her ability to walk and participate in her usual activities. Sarah attended the appointment alone. She has a history of hypertension, which is well-controlled with medication.
Sarah is currently taking Lisinopril 10mg daily for hypertension. She takes over-the-counter paracetamol for pain relief, which provides some benefit.
Sarah has been using a knee brace for support, which she finds helpful.
Sarah hopes to reduce her pain and regain her mobility so she can return to her normal activities.
**Clinical:**
On examination, there was mild swelling and tenderness over the medial joint line. Range of motion was limited due to pain. McMurray's test was positive for a meniscal tear. There was no evidence of instability.
**Radiology:**
X-rays of the right knee showed mild osteoarthritic changes.
**Discussion:**
I discussed the diagnosis of osteoarthritis and the possibility of a meniscal tear with Sarah. I explained the treatment options, including physiotherapy, injections, and the potential need for arthroscopic surgery if conservative measures fail. I discussed the risks and benefits of each option and answered her questions. I explained the importance of weight management and regular exercise.
Total consultation length: 25 minutes from 10:00 to 10:25
