Today, we’re kicking off a special series of episodes to recap the new research presented at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting, our largest orthopaedic conference. This year, over 20,000 orthopedic professionals gathered at the AAOS meeting in San Francisco to take part.
The educational program was comprised of instructional course lectures, video theater, live surgeries, podium presentations and research posters. Over the next several episodes we’re going to be reviewing seven sports medicine posters that were presented at the AAOS meeting. On this podcast we try to review the most updated literature on different sports medicine topics. So, reviewing some of the posters that were just presented at AAOS is particularly exciting for us because this is very new data. So new that most of this data has not even been published yet.
We’re joined by Dr. Meghan Bishop to get her take on these poster presentations. Dr. Bishop is fellowship-trained, board certified orthopaedic sports surgeon at the Rothman Orthopaedic Institute in Philadelphia. After graduating from George Washington University Medical School, she completed her residency in Orthopaedic Surgery at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Dr. Bishop then completed a fellowship in Sports Medicine and Shoulder Surgery at Hospital for Special Surgery. She is the orthopedic medical director for the Philadelphia Marathon, Chair of the AOSSM Early Career Members Committee and is a member of the Editorial Board of AJSM and VJSM. She is very active in research, so we are excited to hear her thoughts on these posters over the new few episodes.
