[Case Studies] Rehabbing an ACL rupture non-surgically with Dr Kieran Richardson
About this episode
In this episode with Dr Kieran Richardson, we explore an interesting case study on a real patient of his - a patient who ruptured her ACL and her recovery process with non-surgical management. We cover:
- The role and importance of knee flexion in recovery from ACL rupture
- Bracing and weight-bearing in conservative management
- Telehealth objective assessment
- Education and advice during rehabilitation
- Treatment plan and the three phases involved
