Abstract

Sideline management of acute knee injuries requires medical personnel to have knowledge of injury patterns, mechanisms, physical findings, and treatment strategies. Fractures and multiple-ligament injured knees need to be rapidly diagnosed and stabilized to allow for timely transfer to a location where further evaluation and definitive treatment can be provided.
