In training for and performing in the sports competitions of the Olympic Games, athletes can endure a variety of injuries that can lead to the development of chronic musculoskeletal issues. With the Olympic Winter Games upon us (February 4-20, 2022), the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons’ (AAOS) is available throughout the duration of the Games to provide experts who can speak on a variety of topics related to these common bone and joint conditions endured by today’s top athletes. What’s more, AAOS experts can offer comments on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on athlete’s training as well as injuries that athletes may be dealing with in Beijing while vying for the Gold.
