Leading figures from the worlds of orthopaedics, elite sport and rehabilitation are set to come together in London next month as Isokinetic London hosts its latest Sports Medicine Night, focusing on the future of knee replacement surgery and recovery.
Taking place on Thursday 11 June 2026 from 6:45pm to 9:00pm at Isokinetic London, the event will explore how advances in surgery, rehabilitation and sports medicine are transforming patient outcomes and accelerating return to function following knee procedures.
The free educational evening, titled Optimising Knee Replacement Surgery and Rehabilitation Practices, will bring together internationally recognised clinicians and rehabilitation specialists to discuss cutting-edge surgical techniques, personalised rehabilitation strategies and the growing role of performance-based recovery programmes for both active patients and elite athletes.
Headlining the event is Mr Sam Rajaratnam, a globally respected Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon who has performed more than 9,000 knee replacements and over 3,000 ACL reconstructions throughout his career. Renowned for pioneering rapid recovery approaches and techniques aimed at reducing post-operative pain, Mr Rajaratnam is expected to share insights into how innovation is reshaping modern knee replacement surgery.
Joining the panel is Dr Stride, founding doctor of Isokinetic London and one of the UK’s most experienced Sport and Exercise Medicine specialists. With a career spanning elite football and Olympic sport, Dr Stride has worked with Brentford FC, Chelsea FC academy teams, England national squads and Team GB during the 2012 Summer Olympics.
His session will focus on bridging elite sports medicine principles with patient-centred rehabilitation practices.Also speaking is Dr Olmo, Medical Director at Isokinetic London and former Head of Medical and Performance at Real Madrid CF.
Internationally recognised for his work in biomechanics, regenerative medicine and injury prevention, Dr Olmo will discuss how non-surgical treatments and advanced rehabilitation methods are increasingly being integrated into musculoskeletal care pathways.
The evening will be hosted by Alessandro Compagnin, Head of Rehabilitation, at Isokinetic London currently completing a PhD at St Mary’s University focused on force and power testing following ACL reconstruction. Alessandro’s expertise in neuromuscular assessment and return-to-play protocols has seen him work closely with elite athletes on tailored rehabilitation programmes.
As demand continues to rise for faster recovery, improved mobility and evidence-led rehabilitation following knee surgery, the Sports Medicine Night series has become an important forum for clinicians, physiotherapists and healthcare professionals to exchange knowledge and explore the latest developments shaping the future of musculoskeletal care.Attendance is free, although spaces are limited and advance booking is recommended.
