Internal Brace International Study Group Website Goes Live
Described as a “Hub for InternalBrace Global Experts and Researchers”, the official website of the Internal Brace International Study Group (IBISG) has gone live. It features a plethora of information and expert research on this innovative technique, useful for clinicians and patients alike. As an integral member of the group, Mr Wilson is involved in contributing research items and helping to organise expert consensus meetings. “The group is comprised of international experts who have been driving a concept that is having a global impact on patient care” he said.

William Calls Time on Refereeing Career
ISAKOS Congress 2025 – Award Winner
Mr Wilson was delighted to receive a prestigious award at the International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS) Congress in Munich. ISAKOS is an international medical society with around 4,000 members. The membership comprises mostly orthopaedic surgeons along with sports scientists, sports physicians and sports physical therapists.
The award was the John Joyce Research Prize, awarded for the 2nd best research paper presented at the Congress by a young surgeon or researcher. This was for the work completed alongside international experts Prof Julian Feller and Prof Kate Webster in Melbourne, Australia, investigating methods for testing recovery following ACL reconstruction.
Mr Wilson also presented work completed in Glasgow investigating outcomes following ACL reconstruction with Internal Bracing and also Primary ACL Repair.
Presentation by William Wilson IBISG 2024 Milan
From the Milan 2024 Internal Brace International Study Group (IBISG) meeting is this fascinating presentation from William Wilson who joined from his Research Fellowship in Melbourne, Australia.
Mr Wilson explained the evidence that supports the changing approach to ACL reconstruction. He highlights that the InternalBrace when introduced over 10 years ago allowed us to re-visit repair which had been discounted for the previous 40 years.
He also explained how the science supported the return to ACL repair using modern technology in appropriate cases. In particular, he highlighted how a repair improves proprioceptive outcome, avoids hamstring weakness compared to the reconstructed group and, through supportive MRI imaging at 4 years, confirmed a significantly reduced rate of arthritic change.
This offers tremendous potential for Internal Bracing and its role in joint preservation in the future.
