Kevin Plancher, MD, MS, FACS, FAAOS, NY-area orthopaedist, sports medicine expert and official orthopaedic surgeon of the US Ski and Snowboard teams, is available to discuss treatment and management techniques to keep athletes active:
"While the term 'osteoarthritis' usually conjures images of the elderly and inactive, a surprising number of young, athletic adults are suffering the joint pain and stiffness associated with this degenerative disease.
In fact, according to recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 8.5 million people between the ages of 18 and 44 report that they have been diagnosed by a doctor with arthritis.
Osteoarthritis is a real hurdle for young, athletic adults who simply aren't ready to give up the sports they love to play.
Fortunately, the sports medicine community has made good strides recently in helping active young adults with arthritis to stay in the game."
