The Sports service is very active in both clinical and basic science research. Our research program in orthopaedic sport medicine is focused on novel approaches for improving musculoskeletal health and spans from developing diagnostic imaging strategies, surgical innovation and implant design, as well as a basic science focus on osteoimmunology. In particular, we have ongoing research projects looking into the risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and the improvement of ACL injury prevention.
