Rehabilitation After Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction.

Patellar instability resulting from subluxation or dislocation is a painful and commonly recurring condition. Retinacular restraints control patellar tracking, limiting the movement of the patella in the trochlear groove. The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is considered the main soft tissue stabilizer against lateral displacement.

Identification of Metastatic Lesions in a Patient With Low Back Pain Following a Motor Vehicle Collision.

A 58-year-old man was referred to physical therapy with a primary complaint of intermittent low back pain (LBP) 2 weeks after being in a motor vehicle collision. The absence of red flags justified the initiation of treatment, but when symptoms of unrelenting LBP emerged, he was referred to his primary care physician with a request for further medical workup. Before further imaging work-up was performed, the patient presented to the emergency room with a urinary complaint; this, in combination with unrelenting LBP, prompted further imaging follow-up.
