Learning Objectives:
- Identify, compare, and contrast the major anatomical components of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), particularly with regard to its relationship to arthrokinematics of the knee.
- Discuss the typical mechanism of injury, clinical course, and risk factors associated with ACL injury.
- Utilize the components of a comprehensive clinical examination to formulate a specific diagnosis for patients with a suspected ACL injury.
- Describe the diagnostic strategies, management plans, and classification of patients with ACL injury.
- Formulate a rehabilitation program using clinical strategies and evidence-based interventions after ACL injury and reconstruction.
- Explain the functional and clinical outcomes after ACL injury and reconstruction.
