MCL Knee Injuries
The MCL is a ligament that links the shinbone (tibia) and thighbone (femur), and is located on the inner aspect of the knee. It is an extra-articular ligament (not located

Rehabilitation Protocol: Labral/Rotator Cuff Debridement
Background & General Considerations Low-Grade Labral/Rotator Cuff Tears: At times athletes collect minor injuries to the rotator cuff and/or labrum. Fraying of these tissues are also called “low-grade” tears. Smoothing

Rehabilitation Protocol: Small Rotator Cuff Repair/Debridement
Background & General Considerations Low-Grade/Small Rotator Cuff Tears: At times rotator cuff tissue collects minor injuries or small tears. Fraying of these tissues are also called “low-grade” tears and small

Rehabilitation Protocol: 360 Degree Tears – Arthroscopic Anterior, Posterior, and Superior Labral Repair
Background & General Considerations Anterior-Inferior and Posterior-Inferior Labral Tears: With a first-time severe dislocation of the shoulder or chronic shoulder instability in multiple directions can create “360 degree” complete tears

Rehabilitation Protocol: 270 Degree Tears Arthroscopic Anterior-Inferior and Complete Posterior Labral Repair
Background & General Considerations Anterior-Inferior and Posterior-Inferior Labral Tears: With a first-time dislocation of the shoulder, the anterior inferior labrum is torn, often called a “Bankart Lesion”. If this shoulder
