Dear Colleagues and friends, 
 
   With great pleasure and joy, we would like to announce to you the second edition of the Recent Advances in Sports Injuries: Trends and Prevention, organized by the 2nd Orthopaedic Department of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, in collaboration with the Hellenic Association of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery & Sports Traumatology "George Noulis" and PAOK FC
   This high-quality scientific meeting is under the patronage of the European Society of Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery & Arthroscopy (ESSKA) and an approved course of the International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery, and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS).
   Moreover, we have the privilege of announcing an outstanding national and international faculty who will share their vast knowledge and valuable experience and certainly significantly contribute to this meeting's success.
   Managing the athlete's health has a comprehensive meaning involving not only the medical community. Indeed, it expands from players to coaches, physiotherapists to psychologists, and all the other contributors. The ability to make an accurate diagnosis, propose an effective treatment, and accelerate rehabilitation are major priorities. Thus, we organized this meeting focusing on all these fields and hoping to enjoy it.
 
Kind Regards,
