Henry Ellis, M.D., and Philip Wilson, M.D., continue to share their leadership and expertise in pediatric sports medicine with orthopedic surgeons from across the continent. Most recently, at "The Growing Athlete’s Knee," an hashtag#AOSSM Surgical Skills Course, they provided didactic lectures and guided hands-on labs on pediatric meniscus repair, ACL reconstruction and MPFL techniques for young athletes. Dr. Ellis also served as the primary course Director this year assembling a world class faculty and program. The course faculty are all active members of the Pediatric Research in Sports Medicine Society hashtag#PRiSM and are as passionate about teaching as they are about research aimed to improve the outcomes in caring for young athletes. #YouthAthleteCare #SportsMed #PediOrtho #SportsMed #AOSSM https://lnkd.in/g7Bck2kC
