Topics/Presenters:

Topic 1: Adult Knee Injuries and New Management Techniques
Speaker: Presented by Mr Jonathan Robin, Orthopaedic Surgeon
Summary: With a return to community and professional sport post pandemic, the incidence of knee injuries is once again on the rise. Short- and longer-term outcomes following knee injuries have a significant impact on the individual and the greater community. The initial assessment and management of the more common knee injuries will be discussed and an update will be provided on the advances in orthopaedic surgery which help to get our athletes back on the park playing the sport they love. 

Topic 2: Emerging Trends and the Use of Technology in Knee Replacement
Speaker: Presented by Mr Nathan White, Orthopaedic Surgeon
Summary: Knee replacement surgery has evolved significantly in the past two decades. Emerging technology is increasingly playing a role, coupled with improved understanding of the mechanics and biology of the knee. This occurs in the context of the broader healthcare environment. Taken together, this is driving emerging trends towards customization to the individual, shorter length of stay, and faster recovery. An overview of the principles involved will be given and implications for patient management in the community considered.
