Abstract
This chapter discusses the evaluation and management of sports trauma in the human knee, focusing on “on-field” and outpatient settings. We begin with general principles in the evaluation and management of acute knee injuries in the outpatient setting, with focuses on diagnosis and temporizing management. We review common mechanisms of injury and specific injuries for a variety of the most popular sports globally, focusing in turn on injuries which are unique to specific sports. We review examination maneuvers and imaging tests valuable in the diagnosis of sports injuries of the knee. We review the details of management for these injuries after presentation in the office setting, with a special focus on rehabilitation and return-to-play. Finally, for various sports and injuries we briefly discuss on-field management at the time of acute injury.
