Description
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.
