FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does this knee diagnosis work?+
This questionnaire analyzes your symptoms, the circumstances surrounding the onset of pain, and several clinical criteria to identify the most likely knee conditions. The results are for informational purposes only and do not replace a medical consultation.
Is this diagnosis reliable?+
The questionnaire is based on the symptoms most frequently observed in the main knee pathologies. It helps guide the diagnosis, but only a clinical examination, combined if necessary with an X-ray or MRI, can precisely confirm the origin of the pain.
What pathologies can be identified?+
The test can point towards many pathologies such as a meniscus tear, an anterior cruciate ligament rupture, osteoarthritis, a fracture, tendinitis, bursitis, cartilage damage, a cyst or certain inflammatory diseases.
Should I consult a doctor even if the test doesn't find anything worrying?+
Yes. Persistent pain, functional impairment, or swelling of the knee always warrants medical advice, even if the symptoms seem mild.
When should you seek emergency medical attention?+
A prompt consultation is recommended in cases of inability to walk, significant swelling after trauma, knee locking, deformity, very intense pain or fever associated with joint pain.
What tests might be necessary?+
Depending on the symptoms, the doctor may order an X-ray, MRI, CT scan, or ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis and accurately assess the affected structures.
Why are several pathologies being offered?+
Some knee conditions cause very similar symptoms. Therefore, it is common for several diagnoses to be considered before a clinical examination can differentiate between them.
Can I use this test after knee surgery?+
Yes, but the results should be interpreted with caution. After surgery, symptoms may be related to normal recovery or to a complication requiring specialist advice.
Is this questionnaire suitable for athletes?+
Yes. It takes into account sports-related injuries as well as pain that appears gradually after repeated training or microtrauma.
What should I do after receiving my results?+
The questionnaire helps you better understand the possible cause of your pain. If symptoms persist or if the test suggests a serious condition, it is recommended that you consult a knee specialist promptly to confirm the diagnosis and begin the appropriate treatment.
