Today’s clinicians are faced with many challenges and are seeking guidelines on how to care for their sports medicine population. Current Concepts in Sports Medicine will provide an in-depth look at the issues, trends, and techniques in the ever-changing environment of sports medicine.  The world-renowned staff from Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), along with some of the nation’s top experts in orthopaedics and sports medicine will conduct lively discussions on subjects including advances in rotator cuff surgery, debates on the use of grafts, and facilitate live knee and shoulder surgeries.

“From assessing current surgical and rehabilitation interventions for injuries and disorders in the field of sports medicine to discussing the rationale and criteria for return to sports competition following injury or surgery, Current Concepts in Sports Medicine will give professionals in the world of sports medicine a deeper understanding of what’s hot and current in our field,” said Dr. Scott Rodeo, co-chairman of the event.
