Symposium: The Great Debate - To operate or not to operate? (Knee and Hip conditions)

Despite a number of current initiatives, the challenges of over treatment, over diagnosis and over imaging, possible harms by inappropriate interventions continue in modern medicine. This Symposium program includes presentations from an esteemed list of Specialist Sports and Exercise Physiotherapists as awarded by the Australian College of Physiotherapists and recognised experts, together with physicians and specialist orthopaedic surgeons and more.

Together they will share their experience and explore current research literature addressing possible advantages and disadvantages of contemporary operative versus non-operative management of commonly encountered knee and hip presentations. It also covers some of the latest research in informed decision making so you can be more confident in discussing appropriate interventions with your patients via a shared decision-making process.
