We just published the 5 yr f-up of our trial comparing exercise and surgery for meniscal tear in middle-aged knees without OA. No difference in pain and radiographic OA at 2 or 5 yrs. The strength improvement from exercise persisted at 1 yr while the surgery group did not improve

What is #optiknee A consensus group of clinician scientists, patients & clinicians who have completed 7 systematic reviews & developed recommendations for rehabilitation to prevent #osteoarthritis after knee injury. In the next months we will share our work. Give us a follow.

In the last 3yrs we completed 7 systematic reviews to inform recommendations for rehab to prevent #osteoarthritis after a knee injury #optiknee Today the 1st review dropped!

Massive effort here from Bjørnar Berg May Arna Risberg Anouk Urhausen @beoiestad KC (she/her) Adam Culvenor with the support of the rest of the #optiknee team. Wonderful resource & roadmap for moving the field of performance testing after ACL injury forward.

Systematic reviews like this are critical for moving us forward, but WOW they are hard work💪 Congrats to @AnoukUrhausen Bjørnar Berg May Arna Risberg @beoiestad & team A key paper for anyone using strength tests after an ACL or meniscal injury bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/…

We received some fab news this weekend from British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) The #Optiknee consensus paper is on its way! Will be bundled up as a nice little Christmas surprise 🎁 The seed was a conversation on a ✈️ in 2016, kicked off formally in 2019 & when the pandemic tried interfere we 💪
