Show Notes

Kangaroos could hold the key for sport stars looking to overcome career-ending ligament injuries.

 

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries in the knee are common in many sports and can often derail the careers of professional sport stars. We’re joined by Dr Nick Hartnell, an Australian surgeon working on a way to use the longer and stronger ligaments of kangaroos to help humans overcome torn tendons.

 

Tom has experience here…he did his ACL in a motorcycle accident a few years ago.  Join us this morning to learn how kangaroos could help Australian athletes – including Tom – bounce back from injury
