What level is your knee knowledge at these days?

Acute knee injuries are common in a variety of athletic & non-athletic activities. These injuries are commonly initially seen in emergency departments, walk-in clinics, rehabilitation clinics, and by a variety of healthcare professionals including physicians, physical therapists, athletic therapists, chiropractors, and kinesiologists.  

Unfortunately, the severity of many of these knee injuries are often missed leading to ineffective treatment, management, and a high risk of reinjury and further damage. The key to a correct and timely diagnosis of an acute knee injury is an accurate and concise yet thorough assessment of the patient.  The skill level of the healthcare practitioner is of utmost importance when faced with a patient with an acute knee injury.
