Coming together at the UKSEM conference in London, Professor Lars Engebretsen (Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center and IOC medical commission) talks to Dr Richard Frobell (Lund University, Malmo, Sweden) about his work on return to exercise after ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury.
Dr Frobell describes the evidence already on this issue, and his recently published randomized trial on whether surgery or rehabilitation improves pain, symptoms, function in sports and recreation, and knee-related quality of life post-injury
