U18 Sports Medicine understands that female athletes have unique sports medicine needs as a result of anatomical differences that increase their risk of knee injuries.
We understand the issues female athletes sometimes face, including the female triad of disordered eating, amenorrhea and osteoporosis.
U18 Sports Medicine also has many female staff including an orthopaedic surgeon, a physician assistant, a nurse practitioner and physical therapists.
As a female athlete, your needs will be addressed appropriately.
18 Sports Medicine was developed to meet the needs of the pediatric and adolescent population for sports injuries and prevention. Our team specializes in treating young athletes, starting with our fellowship-trained pediatric orthopedic surgeons from the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital: Dr. Michael Jofe, Dr. Randolph Cohen, Dr. Neal McNerney, Dr. Stephen Storer and Dr. Jeremy Frank.
From diagnostic imaging by our pediatric radiologists and technologists to anesthesia care by our board-certified pediatric anesthesiologists and rehabilitation by our orthopaedic-certified physical therapists, your young athlete will be cared for by professionals who specialize in treating children and adolescents.
We extend our services to the community through our athletic trainers in area high schools and our presentations to coaches, parents and other interested community members.
