Patient Education Possibilities?: AOSSM/AAOS Announce New Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Media Guide

The Sports Medicine Media Guide: An illustrated Resource on the Most Common Injuries and Treatments in Sports is now available online and in print from the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). The new, 33-page guide provides comprehensive, easy-to-understand descriptions of common sports injuries, from ankle sprains and concussions, to cardiac arrest and heat stroke.

 “AOSSM and AAOS have worked to create a guide for media professionals that we hope will provide clear, unbiased information about sports injuries and treatments for athletes of all ages and skill levels,” said David Geier, MD, Chair, AOSSM Public Relations Committee. “This guide is a must-have resource for sports reporters who want to simply and accurately explain common sports injuries,” said Michael F. Schafer, Chair, AAOS Communications Cabinet. The Guide is divided into 20 chapters, each focusing on a specific injury and providing information on cause, diagnosis and treatment; as well as related definitions, statistics and resources.
