Use of CT-arthrography and ultrasound in ACL surgery during Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan: a case report and practice recommendations.

Computed tomography (CT), arthrography, and ultrasound are readily available at Role 2 and 3 Medical Treatment Facilities in Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
