Session Overview

This GP education event is hosted by Epworth Eastern.

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 especially in younger patients have a significant impact on the individual and the greater community. We will discuss the initial assessment as well as non-surgical and surgical management of the more common knee injuries across all age groups as well as a collaboration to prevent knee injury/re-injury. An update will be provided on advances in orthopaedic surgery and physiotherapy techniques to help get our athletes back on the park playing the sport they love.

The presentation will include the opportunity for panel Q&A.
