Guest: William J. Bryan, MD

Host: Sherwin Ho, MD

Dr. William Bryan, orthopaedic surgeon, cyclist and former medical doctor for the US Cycling Team, discusses the common injuries sustained by cyclists, from abrasions to fractures. Falls from cycling often cause injury to multiple parts of the body, and he says that a cyclist who has one fracture often has another. Dr. Bryan joins host Dr. Sherwin Ho to discuss measures your cycling patients might take to prevent injuries, as well as treatment options for when they do take spills.
