Anouk Urhausen Defends PhD Thesis on ACL Injuries

In a significant achievement in the field of sports medicine, Anouk Urhausen successfully defended her PhD thesis at the Norwegian School of Sport Science in Oslo. Her research focused on the 10-year outcomes after surgical and non-surgical treatment in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. This project was part of the Delaware-Oslo ACL Cohort Study, aiming to assess the long-term results after nonoperative and surgical management of ACL injuries.

Urhausen’s thesis, titled `After a decade of the Delaware-Oslo ACL Cohort treatment algorithm: Measurement properties and outcomes after reconstruction or rehabilitation alone for anterior cruciate ligament injury,` is a comprehensive study that contributes significantly to the understanding and treatment of ACL injuries. Her work highlights the importance of long-term follow-up in sports medicine, particularly for athletes who undergo ACL reconstruction or rehabilitation.

The success of Urhausen’s thesis is a testament to her dedication and expertise in the field. Her research has the potential to influence future treatment protocols for ACL injuries, benefiting athletes and medical professionals alike.
