Would you like to hear Tommy John, the legendary baseball pitcher, talk about what it was like to recover from the elbow ulnar collateral ligament surgery that bears his name?
Here is your chance to meet him in person! On January 13-15, 2024, AdventHealth and the Orlando Magic are presenting The Next Level Sports Medicine Conference at the AdventHealth Celebration Nicholson Center and Tommy John will be one of our two Keynote Speakers!
I first met Tommy in 2012 when I was a team physician and Tommy John surgeon for the Boston Red Sox. From 2012 to 2015, Tommy and I lectured together at the Cooperstown Baseball Shoulder & Elbow Course. My topic was on “How to Perform the Tommy John Surgery”, and he spoke about “What it was like to recover from Tommy John Surgery”. We are both excited for our reunion and to share updates on how best to treat and avoid adolescent overuse injuries in baseball.
Another baseball expert who will join us as a Keynote Speaker is Dr. Michael G. Ciccotti, Sr, who is the Medical Director for the Philadelphia Phillies and Chief of Sports Medicine at Rothman Orthopaedic Institute. He will deliver a Keynote Lecture on “The Past, The Present, and The Future of Sports Medicine Through the Eyes of the Team Physician.” Dr. Ciccotti is a selfless leader and a personal mentor to me, and I know that his message and style of communication will resonate and inspire all of us.
In addition to baseball injuries, our faculty of experts from Rothman Orthopaedics Florida and AdventHealth Orlando will review the recent advancements in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention strategies for various overhead sports. There will be lively debates and panel discussions as well as an autograph signing session by Tommy John!
