Module 7: The Knee

The Knee module gives you an overview of the knee, and
includes detailed discussions and videos for the anatomy, physical examination,
relevant history, and landmarking and injections. 

This module is very important to understanding both the
structure and key elements of the knee, as well as the important relationship
between the knee, foot, and ankle.

Dr. Ravin brings to bear his considerable experience in
successfully treating thousands of patients, combining instruction with
graphics, animations, slides, links, and other media to enable you to learn the
skills necessary to successfully treat patients using prolotherapy. 

This will be helpful to you, in that it will allow you to
add another dimension to your practice of musculoskeletal medicine.

Module Topics

• Introduction 

• Anatomy

• Danger Zones

• History

• Physical Examination

• Landmarking and Injections

The power of getting to the point is that in many instances,
you will be treating a very small area that’s been injured. This module shows
you how to consistently get your needle to the injured site—quickly,
accurately, and effectively.

It is essential to gather these fundamental skills, which
include the scientific background for how it works, the ability to take good
histories, administer directed physical examinations, derive a good
differential diagnosis, identify and spot landmarks, and target your
injections. 

All of these are techniques that you will learn throughout this
module.
