Recorded on: 8th February 2023
Access: 12 months
Presented by: Dr Kieran Richardson, FACP

A long-held belief in musculoskeletal injury management is that ACL tears never heal. This misconception is now being heavily questioned. Hear the latest evidence and the implications this has for the management of ACL tears.
In this webinar Kieran talks about his personal journey with ACL tear management and his change in practice towards assessing for ACL healing capacity.
In the webinar he covers:
- Historical views of ACL management
- Mass media/Google views
- Pathophysiology of healing/types of healing
- Current literature suggesting ACL tears can heal
- Case study examples
- Advice and recommendations
- Opportunities and challenges
- Time for questions and answers
By the end of this webinar you will understand:
- Current research base for ACL healing
- What to advise patients soon after their ACL injury
- What this can mean for Westernised healthcare systems
