On Physioplus we have a new knee course for you.
Tears of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) account for 3% of outpatient knee injuries and 38% of acute traumatic osteoarthritis of the knee. These injuries rarely occur in isolation, and up to 95% of PCL tears occur in combination with other ligament tears. PCL tears are increasingly recognized as the cause of morbidity and dysfunction due to persistent instability, pain, dysfunction and the development of degenerative joint disorders, but still receive less attention than the ACL.
There is increasing evidence that PCL cannot be managed surgically after an injury, and this new course from Luke O'Brien will show you how to maximize the outcome for your patients.
Non-Operative PCL Rehabilitation
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is an important knee stabilizer, and its injury can have long-term consequences. In some cases, a non-surgical approach to treatment has shown positive results and long-term benefits. In this course, you will learn about the decision-making process for PCL management and the components of a successful conservative rehabilitation plan. This course is aimed at clinicians, students and assistants in physiotherapy and physiotherapy. Other interested specialists such as sports trainers, occupational therapists, nurses or doctors who are interested in this subject are also invited to participate.
