The presenter discusses the importance of teamwork and collaboration in conducting these types of studies, as well as the challenges faced, such as funding and data analysis. The top ten findings from the MOON study are also presented, including the cost-effectiveness and quality of life improvement of ACL reconstruction, the need for more study on meniscus and articular cartilage, and the durability of ACL reconstruction at ten years.
