Business Empresarial reported that HSS physiatrist-in-chief Joel M. Press, MD, and sports medicine surgeon Struan H. Coleman, MD, PhD, presented the latest technologies in orthopedics and sports medicine in Lima, Peru.

According to the article, there are a growing number of Peruvian patients who have traveled to HSS for care.

"I am involved in clinical research that analyzes the results after hip preservation surgery and hip arthroscopy. This research allows a better understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of athletic hip injuries. Caring for athletes and helping them return to sports after an injury is a great satisfaction," said Dr. Coleman.

Dr. Press noted that the most common injuries treated at HSS are related to the knee, shoulder and spine.

"In the last 150 years, we have established the best surgical programs and services available in the world. Our biggest challenge in our area of ​​physiatry is to build the medical and non-surgical components of this institution at the same level as the surgical services," Dr. Press added.
