The event aims to provide patients who have suffered either an anterior cruciate ligament rupture, or Achilles tendon rupture, with the latest insights from surgeons, clinicians, and academic researchers. The event will discuss reasons for and common process involved in surgery, rehabilitation practices, and current ongoing research in both areas. This is an exciting opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the injury you sustained, and provide some of your thoughts regarding your injury experience. Refreshments will be provided. We look forward to seeing you there.
