Description:
How to Improve Outcomes Following ACL Injuries:  New Surgery Concepts, When to do a LET or Tibial Slope Correction & What are the Key Points in Rehabilitation

This Master Class webinar is designed to enhance clinical outcomes for patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries through evidence-based practices. Participants will explore critical decision-making strategies, individualized rehabilitation programs tailored to the patient’s unique injury and surgical profile, and advanced functional return-to-play testing protocols grounded in the latest research.

ACL injuries are prevalent in sports and active populations, with an estimated 350,000–400,000 cases annually in the United States, of which approximately 300,000 require surgical reconstruction. These injuries are rarely isolated, with 100% of cases involving a bone bruise, 47–66% involving meniscal damage, and 5–24% involving additional knee ligament injuries. Reinjury rates are concerning, with 14–35% of patients experiencing a second ACL injury.

This webinar will provide clinicians with the tools to optimize patient outcomes through comprehensive assessment, evidence-based rehabilitation, and precise return-to-play criteria.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe the anatomy and biomechanics of the ACL and associated knee structures.
  2. Conduct a comprehensive clinical examination, including a detailed subjective history and physical assessment.
  3. Analyze findings from clinical and functional assessments to develop individualized treatment plans based on involved structures.
  4. Understand various ACL surgical procedures and their implications for rehabilitation.
  5. Design evidence-based rehabilitation programs for patients post-ACL reconstruction.
  6. Develop and implement specific return-to-play functional assessment protocols.
  7. Evaluate data from return-to-play tests to determine readiness for sports participation.
  8. Apply problem-solving skills to create treatment plans for case studies presented during the webinar.
  9. Design and demonstrate targeted rehabilitation strategies for managing complications following ACL injuries.

Join us for an engaging session with Dr. Kevin E. Wilk, a renowned expert in sports rehabilitation, to elevate your approach to ACL injury management.
