Jan I. Gillquist Scientific Research Award


Jan I. Gillquist was a pioneer in the fields of knee surgery and sports medicine, well known for his dedication to the scientific method, most particularly related to the systematic approach to the entire chain of treatment of knee injuries; a correct diagnosis and pre-operative assessment, surgery and post-operative rehabilitation and the treatment of ACL injuries without surgery but with rehabilitation alone.

His passion was good science, correct science, and he was never afraid of sharp and critical questions; everything should be questioned and systematically studied.
