The acute management of soft tissue injuries of the knee

Jonathan R Perryman et al. Orthop Clin North Am. 2002 Jul.

Abstract

The acute management of soft tissue injuries of the knee requires knowledge of the injury mechanism, physical findings, and results of adjunctive tests. Knee dislocations, fractures, and extensive soft tissue injury requires immediate and thoughtful treatment. All injuries are afforded the benefit of the basic principles of rest, ice, compression, and elevation until definitive treatment is carried out.
