title: Chiropractic management of a patient with postoperative lateral retinacular release using a multimodal approach: a case report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this case report is to describe a chiropractic rehabilitation program for a patient with postsurgical lateral retinaculum release.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 26-year-old male ice hockey goalie presented 1 month after having lateral retinaculum release surgery for his left knee with residual mild discomfort and edema in his left knee.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient was treated using a multimodal approach of both passive and active chiropractic care focusing on the restoration of full range of motion, increased proprioception, balance, strength, and endurance to return the patient to competitive ice hockey.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case study demonstrated that, after 14 weeks of care, the patient was able to return to ice hockey training with no residual symptoms.
