The aim of this Instructional Course (IC) is to review a series of challenging sports medicine cases and experiences that each of the panelists encountered in their early practice. Each presenter will review a surgical case or practice management topic, describe the specific challenges they faced, and share what they learned, including strategies they now use to avoid these issues. Cases will span a range of problems in shoulder, elbow, and knee sports surgery. The session will cover intraoperative technical challenges, surgical indications, and management of difficult postoperative patients. Moderators will facilitate discussion, ask probing questions, and encourage audience participation during a Q&A session. The intended audience includes trainees (residents and fellows) and early career surgeons, but surgeons at all levels could certainly benefit from this content. Panelists will represent different phases of early practice to provide diverse perspectives and insights. This course aims to deliver valuable educational content, promote networking among early career members, and should be offered as a free IC to encourage attendance at the AOSSM Annual Meeting.
