AO Sports: From the injury to the athlete
"It's not about what we know or what we can do. It's about what the patient needs," said a participant at the Fireside Chat.
An invitation to AO faculty
AO Sports builds on a tradition that has shaped global surgical education for more than sixty years. Whether working primarily in trauma, ligament reconstruction, or complex joint pathology, AO faculty increasingly encounter athletes and highly active patients in daily practice.
AO Sports invites faculty to explore the AO Sports educational offering and join the conversation about how established AO principles are applied across different patient groups.
Because the joint is an organ. But the athlete is a person.
