 This is the second injury prevention program we have in collaboration with the USOC and that's really illustrating the importance of prevention of these injuries for our athletes and our research at SPRI as involved outcomes as involved biomechanics Biologics, but truly one of the ultimate goals is to really prevent these injuries That's why it's so important to collaborate with the USOC. We have all these athletes that train in these four-year cycles for the Olympics and often they get hurt and sometimes we cannot avoid these injuries, but often if we can have good implementation of prevention program in place maybe we can have an impact in preventing even further these type of injuries that will actually sometime affect their chance to participate in the Olympics and you know, I think prevention is really ultimately the best treatment to have early intervention in place to treat these injuries Ultimately will prevent conical damage to these joints and then eventually hopefully will prevent further progression of these Injury to the cartilage that often leads to joint replacement So we really want to preserve the native joint and truly again Athletes are athletes. They want to do what they love, but our role and the symposium that illustrated this is that we want to allow these athletes to do what they love safely Prevent concussion prevent knee injuries hip injuries and again, that's a combination of Great education to the athletes, but also the trainers that work with them the therapists the coaches the parents The parents have a large role to play in this because they were their Children so they if they understand What we can do as far as prevention surveillance They'll make sure that it can get executed and ultimately affect the health of their children and You know have an impact on their quality of life long-term Well, actually you want to reach the masses and that's why the IOC relationship with the U.S. Coalition which include the the U.S. O.C. at quarter in Colorado Springs Sprite and Utah I think our goal is to have an impact globally through the IOC and educate as Many people as possible again understanding first what we want to prevent what we'll have the largest impact and Have a system in place through the NGBs or through the countries Have great system in place to execute It is really our goal and the IOC is a great vehicle for this and as it's a big Priority for them, so that's why we honor to be representing the United States and I think the U.S. Like I said, Dr. Moreau The University of Utah us here in Vale I think we have great synergy and We have common goals and I really think with that in place we'll put a good education system and a good execution execution system to to prevent these injuries because some of these countries Don't have the same resource we we have here in the U.S. or in Canada or so Unfortunately, it's not their their fault. So that's why I think we have a duty and a role to Use what we have and share it globally with the world and as was said before you won't allow these athletes to compete at the Olympics or any event as Healthy as possible so they're their best on that day of competition So truly when you compete and you win you really win quote fairly and So I think it's it's a mission that we should all be part of and again It's it takes a great team to execute on that and we have a great opportunity to make that happen You know as a surgeon obviously You know, I enjoy doing surgery and fixing quote fixing people But truly when I I have a 17 16-year-old young athlete male or female and I I get in the joint and I see these large Carly's defect Truly, you know, I feel that We should have intervened earlier But sometimes we cannot intervene earlier because the patient has no symptoms So there's a part that where the patient is a symptomatic, but yet there's disease progression or injury progression So that's why prevention is so important because for me you know, like, you know, we we do surgery we we repair people and do joint preservation procedure, which is rewarding, but it's what's even more rewarding is prevent these these patients athletes to come to our operating room and You know, I think that's the ultimate if we can't prevent his injuries and again We're doing this because we have to and we like to do it, but truly I think in the future. We're gonna have large Global prevention system in place to help our fellow athlete
