CASE STUDY
(typical):
A 40
year old active skier sustained complete ACL tear after
skiing injury on 3/1. Physical exam revealed 3+ lachman
test, and 3+ pivot shift. MRI revealed complete rupture
of ACL. The patient wanted to do high intensity
strengthening pre-op and thus she was placed on ARP
strengthening for 10 sessions.
The patient was seen for her pre-op appointment on 4/13
and on exam was noted to have full ROM from 0 to 155
degrees as well as negative lachman and pivot shift
testing.
Due to
these unexpected findings, a repeat MRI was obtained
which showed an intact ACL.
Surgery has been
cancelled and the patient continues to do
ultra exercises.
