Inside the Game.

The ISKM podcast — spotlighting the people, science and ideas shaping sports knee surgery.

The ISKM Podcast is hosted by Ernest Chew, an aspiring knee surgeon with a deep passion for education and a belief that great conversations shouldn't end when a conference does. Born out of a desire to extend the reach of the Imperial Sports Knee Meeting far beyond its one day, this podcast exists to carry those ideas, debates, and voices to a wider audience — so that we can educate, learn, and grow together.

Personalised ACL Graft Choices

Mr. Rahul Bhattacharyya

Which ACL graft is best? There isn’t one answer for everyone. Choice depends on age, activity level, sport, job, body type, prior surgeries and the specific injury. Past graft failure, other ligament or meniscal injuries, and goals for faster rehab or smaller scars also affect the decision. In this episode, Mr Rahul Bhattacharyya explains how he weighs these factors to pick the right graft for each patient.
