I want to stay on time, respect everybody's time. So the title of this ICL is it's not a knee or shoulder, am I doing it right? So it's a team physician update. And so before we get started, I just want to thank AOSSM and Anna for selecting this ICL. I think it's going to be very interesting for us. So these are my disclosures. None of them are relevant. For those of you that I don't know, my name is Gautam Yagnik. I'm from Miami, Florida. Take care of the dolphins and the panthers. And as most of you guys know, being a team physician at any level is challenging. And a lot of times we're not only managing the orthopedic care, but in some settings, depending on the amount of help you have, you're also managing the medical care as well. And even if you're just managing the orthopedic care, you realize that it's becoming very subspecialized and it's difficult to keep up. And most of us are comfortable managing shoulder, knee, and elbow injuries because it's something that we see every day in practice as well as our training. But unfortunately, most of those injuries don't really fit neatly into this box. And yet we as team physicians are ultimately responsible for managing these injuries. So that's really the genesis behind this course is kind of my own approach to meetings is I like to attend sessions and ICLs that are out of my comfort zone to kind of address areas of weakness. And so that's why we put this course on. And so the purpose really is to provide an update on sideline and definitive management, focusing on foot and ankle, hip, hand, and spine injuries. Really those things that are kind of outside our comfort zone, but a lot of us are asked to manage on a daily basis. And we're going to kind of really focus on current trends and controversies, right? Not kind of the bread and butter stuff, but the stuff that's kind of out there now that we're seeing. And hopefully we're all going to get some pearls that we can take back to our own teams and practices. And so the faculty is really key here. They're going to help guide us through this journey. They're really truly experts in the field, in my opinion, the best of the best. And the way I selected them is that these are my second opinion doctors, right? So these are the guys that I call if I have an issue with one of my players, or if someone wants to send their films off, or wants to get another pair of eyes on things. And so I think what makes them special is not only are they experts in their subspecialty area, but they also really understand how to treat and manage athletic injuries, particularly at a high level. And that's unique. And so I'm glad they're here. I'm going to introduce them all real quickly, and then we'll bring them up. So Steve Shin is going to talk to us first. He's Associate Professor and Executive Vice Chair at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He's fellowship trained in hand surgery. He's a hand consultant for the Lakers, the Clippers, the Dodgers, and the Kings. He's taken care of a number of my athletes very well. He's very well respected throughout all the leagues, and I'm really happy that he's here with us today. Then we're going to hear from Drew Dossett. He's an orthopedic spine surgeon from the Carroll Clinic in Dallas, Texas. He's a spine consultant for the Cowboys, the Rangers, the Stars, also takes care of a lot of rodeo injuries. He's got a tremendous amount of experience, and he's my go-to for any cervical or spine lumbar issues. Then we're going to hear from Craig Morrow from Pittsburgh. He's fellowship trained in sports and hip. He's team physician for the Steelers. He's also taken care of the Penguins in the past. And Craig has a unique interest in not just hip, but also core muscle injury. He works with one of the general surgeons there, so he's going to talk about that interrelationship there, because that's kind of a hot topic. And then finally, to close it out, we're going to hear from Norm Waldrip. He's attending foot and ankle surgeon at Andrews Sports Medicine Center in Birmingham. He's a foot and ankle consultant for the University of Alabama, as well as Auburn, Troy, Sanford. He's going to be working with the Saints next year. He's also an unofficial team doctor for the Miami Dolphins, given the number of players that he's treated or operated on that are now on our team. So we're happy he's here. So we'll start with these current concept lectures, and then we have a bunch of cases, kind of rapid fire, to throw at these guys, and then we'll have time for open discussion and questions, particularly during the case presentation time. So I'm going to bring Steve up here, and we'll get started.
