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.

He explained the evidence that supports the changing approach to ACL reconstruction. He highlights that the InternalBrace when we introduced it 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.
