    Title
    Physical Therapy Evaluation and Management of a Patient with Acute Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Meniscal Tears Complicated by Hereditary Multiple Osteochondromas in the Occupational Health Setting: A Case Report
    Abstract
    Background: Hereditary Multiple Osteochondromas (HMO) is a disease that primarily affects the musculoskeletal system. Sequelae of the disease are often treated via outpatient orthopedic physical therapy. There is a lack of literature on HMO in physical therapy. The purpose of this report is to discuss management of a man with HMO and an acute orthopedic injury. Description: A 44-year-old male with HMO and acute knee injury presented with instability and structural abnormalities as well as impaired range of motion, gait, and muscle performance. MRI confirmed anterior cruciate ligament rupture, meniscal tear, and nondisplaced fibular fracture. The examination and plan of care for this patient included special considerations due to the presence of HMO and nuances of the occupational health setting and insurance. Outcomes: The lower extremity functional scale was used to assess the patient�s functional abilities related to his injury, and objective tests and measures were used to assess the impairments. Discussion: Clinicians should treat within the individual context of each patient, including all comorbidities and patient specific findings in order to make effective clinical decisions. Evaluating and treating a patient in the occupational health setting with HMO that has sustained an acute orthopedic injury requires a combination of disease knowledge, clinical reasoning, collaboration with other healthcare providers, and diagnostic imaging.
