What is the best practice when managing collateral ligament injuries in the knee? To approach this question, Dr. Terry Malone first covers a detailed understanding of the anatomy of the knee and different mechanisms of injury that may cause collateral ligament injuries. Dr. Malone establishes the distinct differences between the collateral ligaments and the cruciate ligaments, which work together to enable a four bar linkage that enables passive control throughout the knee's range of motion. Through a thorough review of examination techniques and literature, Dr. Malone provides an engaging and informative course on how to manage collateral ligament injuries, from the time of detection through rehabilitation. Join Dr. Malone as he utilizes patient demonstrations, dynamic animations, and several detailed case studies to help participants gain a solid understanding of collateral ligament injury management. This is the first half of a two part course on collateral ligament injuries. Please be sure to watch:
