Evidence Based Return-to-Play after Knee Injuries

By: Hoang, Victor

Knee injuries are notorious for extended rehabilitation, periods of restricted motion, and limitations in function. Attention to safe return to play protocols following injury has become a pressing issue in current literature. This necessitates a need for standardized guidelines using evidence-based recommendations. This book was created using PubMed and professional orthopedic websites reviewed for all relevant randomized clinical trials, cohort studies, case series, and case reports regarding return to play recommendations after 33 different injuries and disorders associated with the knee. The Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPS) tool was used to evaluate the validity and risks of bias of each study included in our book. This book adheres to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. This book provides a comprehensive resource of evidence-based rehabilitation protocols, their success, rehabilitation details, and criteria for return to play and reported complications from over 400 clinical studies. This is the first book of this magnitude to comprehensively review return to play following all knee injuries.
