Sports Medicine Days | Day 5 | Imaging and Interventional Techniques for Knee Ligament Injuries
Knee ligament injuries are a defining challenge in elite sports,1 with the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and other key structures frequently at risk during high-impact and pivoting movements. These injuries can sideline athletes for months and often require a careful balance between surgical and conservative management.
In this final session of Sports Med Days – the webinar series made possible by the Canon Medical Academy – we will focus on knee ligament injuries and explore how ultrasound and MRI are essential tools for assessing injury severity, identifying complications, and supporting treatment planning and interventions. These imaging techniques enable healthcare professionals to tailor treatment plans and closely monitor athletes’ recovery.
