title: Symposium on sports medicine: Part I. Current concepts in the treatment of ligamentous instability of the knee.
abstract: Ligamentous injury to the knee remains a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic problem. Modern knowledge of the pathoanatomy of various instability problems has made diagnosis of injuries to key structures possible. Aggressive treatment, nonoperative and operative, has vastly improved the prognosis for return to stable function of the knee.
