The knee is the largest and most complex joint in the human body and therefore is vulnerable to a variety of injuries.  Studies have illustrated that roughly 40% of sport injuries occur to the knee.  Knee injuries may be complex and often reflect similar symptoms. The literature is constantly evolving and practitioners may find it hard to stay current with best practice guidelines. Practitioners need to review anatomy, clinical tests and review treatment options based on best available evidence in order to make best care decisions. 

This activity is designed for athletic trainers interested in or involved with the management of sports-related injuries.

Upon completion of this program, learners should be better able to:

• Review the basic anatomy of the knee
• Summarize conservative and operative treatment for patients with common knee injury. 
• Discuss the role of MRI in imaging knee injury
• Describe the conservative and operative options for treating chondral injuries.
• List the criteria that should be considered for return to play decision- making. 
• Recognize the signs of knee dislocation and appropriate referral options.  

Appropriate evidence-based care is essential in order to provide optimal injury care.

• This educational event is offered as both a Live-In-Person (Limited seating) and Live-Webinar.
• Learning will be conveyed via lecture, group discussion and Q/A.
