๐พโจ Highlights from our very first KCL Ortho Soc x KCL Tennis event!
We brought together orthopaedics and tennis for an evening packed with insight and inspiration.
๐ฆด Our opening talk by Trauma & Ortho Head at Kingโs, Mr Osman Khan, explored the most common tennis injuries and, crucially, how to prevent them.
๐ ST3 Mr Mike Ward then walked us through the journey to becoming an orthopaedic surgeon, offering invaluable advice for aspiring medics.
๐ We were also honoured to host a special guest from the US, a spine surgeon and world-leading expert on Bertolotti syndrome, who delivered a fascinating deep dive into the condition.
๐พ To close the night, former UK No.1 and Top-15 Europe tennis player Dilhan Wasantha sat down with our president Saheb for an exclusive interview, sharing his tennis journey and how Bertolotti syndrome impacted his career.
An evening that was both educational and inspiring for sports enthusiasts and medical students alike. ๐ฅ
