Abstract
An injury to your knee meniscus or joint cartilage can happen when you move suddenly or repeatedly move the wrong way. If you have such an injury, you may feel knee pain and have limited motion. Physical therapists can ensure that you and others with these injuries receive quality care to optimize recovery. The goal of revised clinical practice guidelines published in the February 2018 issue of the JOSPT is to make recommendations based on best practices from recent published literature for the evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and determination of patient readiness to return to activities following knee meniscus or joint cartilage injury. Based on scientific research, these guidelines summarize the treatment options currently available. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2018;48(2):125. doi:10.2519/jospt.2018.0504.
