This educational activity is specifically designed for healthcare professionals who treat patients with musculoskeletal injuries or who have an interest in sports medicine. Using a combination of live presentations, videos and case studies, expert faculty will share new clinical insights, technical advances and breaking research to provide participants with the latest diagnostic and treatment strategies for patients presenting with orthopaedic disorders of the knee, shoulder, elbow and hip. The goal of this activity is to assist clinicians in the early recognition and successful treatment of these conditions and allow patients the quickest return to sports participation.
