The orthohub team is thrilled to be bring you this webinar in collaboration with Fortius Clinic, the UK’s largest single orthopaedic MSK group.
We have an exceptional international faculty from England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the USA, all experienced in the multidisciplinary management of elite athletes. We will be drawing on this wealth of expertise to find out what lessons learnt from the diagnosis and treatment of elite athletes can be applied to the management of amateur athletes, as well as tips and tricks to help better manage all of our patients.
Andy Williams is a knee surgeon at Fortius Clinic and a Reader at Imperial College London, where is active in the clinical application of basic science research. He has been the primary knee surgeon for many of the UK’s professional sports teams including 75% of English Premier League football teams and 80% of English Premiership rugby teams. 50% of his patients are professional athletes and he undertakes around 100 ACL reconstructions a year, with a multi-ligament knee reconstruction every 2 weeks.
Andy has an international reputation in treating soft-tissue knee injuries in high-demand professional athletes, and this has been recognised with his appointment to the ACL Study group, as well as being the first UK member of The Herodicus Society.
Ciara Stevenson is a specialist knee surgeon in Belfast, who undertook specialist fellowship training in Brisbane and Coventry. She has published and presented her research in meniscal allograft transplantation and complex soft tissue knee injuries, and this is reflected in her specialist clinical practice.
Kyle Borque is an Orthopaedic Sports Surgeon in Houston, Texas, and specialises in treating soft tissue knee injuries in athletes. He is a physician to the US men’s soccer (football!) team and was previously a team physician to the New England Patriots NFL team. His clinical practice has a strong emphasis on revision ACL reconstructions and multi-ligament knee injuries.
Jonathan Houghton is dual-trained as a Consultant in Sports and Exercise Medicine and also in Rheumatology. He is the Chief Medical Officer to the Wales men’s national football team and the team doctor at Surrey County Cricket Club. He is also the chair of the Royal College of Physicians Sports and Exercise Medicine Committee, and was previously the head of lower limb rehabilitation for the Armed Forces at DMRC Headley Court. His areas of specialist interest include lower limb tendinopathy and exercise induced leg pain.
We believe this webinar will be of huge interest and value to orthopaedic surgeons, sports and exercise physicians, physiotherapists and all allied health professionals treating sports-related knee injuries.
Registration is free and we hope as many of you as possible join us on the night and get involved in the chat and with the interactive Q&A. See you at 7.30pm on December 9th!

Target audience: all orthopaedic practitioners, from consultants/attending grades through to surgical trainees, PAs, nurse specialists and plaster technicians. Industry colleagues welcome faculty.
The knee webinar last night was good. Always insightful and good to hear current successful trends in orthopaedics. But there is a growing irritation that I think needs removing. The host and speakers need to stop monopolising the questions. I much prefer the host to read out the questions on Q&A for the panel to answer from the diverse audience attending. These webinars are not I assume for the host or panel but to educate the wider audience. It is so irritating when there are multiple disciplines in attendance, the orthopods dominate proceedings. Pls consider others. Thanks
Hi James, thankyou for raising this point, we are sorry that you feel this way. This is something we will take away as orthohub and reflect upon how to keep improving our content. The webinars are aimed at everyone and intended to be inclusive.
I have pulled the Q&A from the webinar and we will publish this over the next few days on the webinar page.

Very good presentations. Time well spent I thought. Thanks to the speakers.
Thankyou for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it. mike
Thanks, really enjoyed the session. Lessons from Elite sport really useful . Would be good to hear the latest thinking on other conditions that present to ortho like anterior knee pain / chondromalacia patella, ITB friction, various tendinopathies, post meniscectomy syndrome. We all have our own tips and tricks in these often problematic patients.
Thanks for these great suggestions, we hope to put on more sessions along these lines in the future.
Mike
Really informative and useful presentation. Thank you to all the speakers.
Really enjoyed the webinar last night.
Great insights throughout.
Jon serves as a great bridge into SEM and Physiotherapy practices. Always very helpful certainly when considering the challenges later on in the rehab process and those more complex cases.
Look forward to the next...
Thanks again!
Thanks Daniel, glad you enjoyed it. Jon is fantastic at bridging that gap and we are glad to have him involved in this session.
Mike

Very useful webinar, the role of different specialists in treating unusual knee conditions came through clearly.
Lots of little things to learn as well.
Thanks to the wonderful speakers
Really glad that you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for more great content.

Refreshing to see that surgery is not the first port of call.
Surgery is for when conservative measures fail, or when absolutely (evidence base) indicated. Primum non nocere
Mike
A useful webinar, it was good to hear the panelists highlighted the importance of the bio-psychosocial of the injured athlete and something which can easily be integrated into general MSK practice!
Thanks Trevor, this plays a huge role in all MSK injuries and treatment even going beyond sports. Glad you enjoyed the webinar.
The webinar was super interesting and informative. I thought as an exercise therapist maybe the content would be "above my pay grade", but there really was content for all. It was my first webinar with you guys and very much not my last. Thanks to all for taking the time to put this content together.
That's great Cat, looking forward to interacting with you in the future sessions.
Mike

Wow Helen, that is great feedback. Glad you found it helpful! I have the Q&A from the session too which I will upload.
