Live Q & A with Dr Adam Culvenor and Brooke Patterson
Weren’t able to make it to the live event? We’ve got you covered!
Hear Dr Culvenor speak about the prevalence of MRI features in people without knee symptoms, what ‘good’ looks like in terms of patient outcomes following ACL injury, and whether or not surgery is required for everyone who has an ACL injury.
This event was hosted by Dr. Sean Docking, with special guest PhD Candidate Brooke Patterson.
