Return to Play - Football Medicine Strategies 2016
9 - 11 April 2016
A recent study showed that only 55% of players return to competitive sport following an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.(Ardern CL et al, BJSM 2014)
It is also demonstrated that the risk of sustaining a subsequent new ACL injury is 5.8% for the ipsilateral and 11.8% for the contralateral limb at a minimum of five years follow up. (Wright RW et al, JB JS 2011)
In the end it is all about Return to Play and the only question doctors, players and teams, seem to care about is "when will the player be back on the field safely?"
Return to Play is a broad subject and this conference organised by Isolinetic Medical Group aims to give you a wider vision, one which can help you to be successful in your career. We will do this by sharing the expertise and the knowledge that has taken those to the top of Football Medicine and Science. More specifically Return to Play will be analysed through sharing different points of view and disciplines: sports medicine, orthopaedics, sports science, physical therapy, psychology, general medicine, radiology, osteopathy, podiatry, athletic trainers and team coaches. Through this multidisciplinary approach you will gain a deeper understanding of the whole sports medicine and rehabiliation process, and not only the techniques themselves.
