Joint preservation techniques are used in patients with cartilage defects to preserve the joints and to restore the function.

Articular cartilage is the cartilage that covers the bony surface of joints. It has a smooth surface which allows the bones of the knee joint to slide over each other with very little friction. Articular cartilage is often damaged by injury or normal wear and tear.

The number of children participating in sports activities has been increasing over the recent years resulting in a substantial rise in the incidences of sports injuries. Even though there are several benefits of active participation in sports, including building up of self-confidence, physical fitness, and learning to work in a team, there is also a risk of sports-related injuries.

The Modern Athlete, a three day symposium on current practices and innovations in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions used for recreational and elite athletes. The course will review the current literature and highlight the latest management principles for the endurance athlete, the overhead athlete, and the young athlete. Attendees will have the opportunity to perform evidencebased musculoskeletal examinations, practice diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound, enhance joint and soft tissue injection skills, and enhance their knowledge of orthobiologics, strength training, biomechanics, video analysis, and exercise physiology. The goal of the course is to enable clinicians to feel comfortable with the most uptodate diagnostic and therapeutic modalities used for today’s modern athlete.
