Dear Dr. Smith, I am writing to provide an update on our mutual patient, John Doe, who was seen in my clinic on October 15, 2023. - John presented with persistent knee pain following a sports injury. He reported difficulty in walking and occasional swelling. His history includes a previous ACL reconstruction surgery in 2018. - He is currently taking ibuprofen as needed and a daily multivitamin. He has no known allergies. - Socially, John is a college student and an active member of the university soccer team. During the consultation, the following findings were noted: - Physical examination revealed tenderness over the medial joint line and a positive McMurray's test. - An MRI was performed, showing a meniscal tear in the right knee. Based on the assessment, the following plan has been made: - Surgical intervention is recommended to repair the meniscal tear. Post-operative physiotherapy will be essential for recovery. - I have referred John to a physiotherapist for prehabilitation exercises to strengthen the surrounding musculature. I would appreciate your continued support in managing John Doe's care. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require further information. Yours sincerely, Dr. Sophie Rafiq Orthopaedic Surgeon 555-123-4567
