AOFAS is a world leading congress for the foot and ankle surgical community. I was delighted to not only attend the meeting but also to have the opportunity to present and discuss some of the research work we have carried out at Leeds University during the cartilage repair sessions. As ever, it was also a privilege to meet and catch up with colleagues from around the world during the congress.
The research presentation involved work carried out with Leeds University in the Biomechanics laboratory. We wanted to evaluate a cartilage repair device that I routinely use in my practice for injuries in the knee and ankle that require key hole or open surgery. These evaluations have allowed me to share information about how this enhanced technique might work during surgery and confirm the potential benefits to patients.
