Barton Wellness Lecture: Prevention of Knee Injuries

Event Date: 
November 4, 2015 - 6:00pm

Hear from a team of experts about how to stay injury free during the upcoming winter season at the next lecture offered by Barton Health on Wednesday, November 4. Terry Orr, MD, from Tahoe Center for Orthopedics will share what happens when a knee injury occurs and LTCC anatomy professor Beachy Orr, PhD will teach about the anatomy of the knee. Two of Barton Health's certified athletic trainers, Andy Borah, ATC and Jeremy Vandehurst, ATC, will also lead participants in exercises to get the winter season going.

Why skiers get injured

Skiing is a phenomenally exciting and fun sport. However, the injury rate is relatively high, with more than 20,000 knee injuries sustained each year by skiers in the U.S. alone, most of which involved the ACL. The question is why and what can you do about it?

My advice on how to avoid common injuries is based on my 55 years of skiing, more than two decades of being an orthopaedic surgeon for the U.S. Ski Team, the Pro Ski tour, the Jeep Tour, 48 Straight Ski tour and other winter sports events. However it is not gospel. There are many views and disagreements on skiing safety.
