Knee injuries are common among youth athletes across various sports. This lecture will explore the epidemiology of sports-related injuries in the pediatric population, with a particular focus on common knee pathologies. We will cover clinical presentations, examination techniques, and diagnostic imaging methods. Join us for an engaging session where learners will gain valuable insights on indications for treatment, non-operative management strategies, surgical techniques, the recovery process, and expected long-term outcomes for pediatric knee injuries.

Registration is required.

All practitioners: free.
