Football Injury Dr. Adam Anz

The Injuries in Football Course, held in Destin, Florida, provides an opportunity for orthopaedic surgeons, sports physicians, athletic trainers, physical therapists, and other professionals working with football athletes at various levels to learn more about assessment and treatment of football related injuries, the prevention of injuries, and rehabilitation.

Dr. Anz had the opportunity to address the attendees during three lectures about “Hip Injuries in Football”, “The Anatomy, Physical Examination, and Non-Operative Management of Shoulder Instability”, and “Complex Knee Injury”.  The course was well attended and presented an opportunity to bridge the gap between health care providers involved in the care of football players on all levels.
