Brief Session Description : Return to sport (RTS) decisions are complex and multifactorial. This interactive, case-based session will explore the RTS continuum, including biological healing, functional testing, and psychological readiness. Experts will discuss real-world cases—bone stress injuries, ACL tears (surgical and non-surgical), hamstring strains, and concussions—providing practical insights for clinicians. Attendees will engage in evidence-based discussions, refining their decision-making skills to optimize athlete outcomes. Designed for medical students, residents, fellows, and faculty, this session will enhance RTS knowledge and strategies for safer, more effective return-to-play decisions.
