Don’t forget the long game after knee injury – OPTIKNEE consensus with Jackie Whittaker EP #520

In this BJSM podcast Jackie Whittaker discusses the OPTIKNEE consensus clinical and research recommendations. Jackie is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy, at the University of British Columbia. The OPTIKNEE initiative aims to shine the light on post-traumatic osteoarthritis after traumatic knee injury – who is most at risk, what should we be measuring and how, and what interventions should we be using? Jackie encourages clinicians to think about knee and overall health beyond the short-game of injury rehab and return to sport. There are some great tips on how you can set up patients at risk of post-traumatic osteoarthritis with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to self-manage in the long-term.
