About
The Centre for Health, Exercise & Sports Medicine (CHESM) at the University of Melbourne has released its 'ACL injury treatment decision aid'. This ACL injury treatment decision aid is an evidence-based tool for people who have an ACL injury, their friends, family and healthcare providers. Its aim to help people with a complete ACL tear make an informed choice about their treatment that aligns with their values, lifestyle and preferences, and help them choose whether surgery or a non-surgical treatment option is best for them.
The decision aid was produced by a team of clinician researchers, led by A/Prof Steph Filbay at the Centre for Health, Exercise & Sports Medicine (CHESM) at the University of Melbourne.
