[Early complications, concomitant and follow-up treatment of fresh combined knee ligament injuries].
A graduated, concomitant and follow-up treatment of fresh knee-joint ligament injuries helps to reduce pain, restore mobility and increase muscular strength. By slowly increasing joint mobility, secondary ligament slackening is avoided. Likewise static loading should be increased gradually. Physiotherapeutic exercise techniques to restore proprioceptive ligamentous control mechanisms as well as transcutaneous electrical neurohpysiological stimulation, ice treatment, ultrasound and isokinetic training techniques support these measures. Early complications include infection and stagnating mobility despite intensive exercise treatment. Both require consistent, purposeful action.
