Current Concepts in the Treatment & Rehabilitation of the Athlete

Overview

This symposium provides updated information and skill development for healthcare professionals to enable them to improve the quality of care they deliver. Paired presentations will involve two components:

• An MD component emphasizing current concepts and new techniques in orthopedic sports medicine
• A rehabilitation component providing specific guidelines and protocols

The symposium will focus on current trends and treatment, using practical, evidence-based applications. Participants will use evidence-based protocols applicable to their daily practice, including injury prevention. There will be two 30-minute case studies focusing on a surgical procedure—how it was done and required rehabilitation. The discussion will follow a case from pre-surgery through rehabilitation. The event will conclude with a formal panel discussion and question and answer session.
