FREE INJURY EVALUATIONS FOR ATHELTES EACH FRIDAY NIGHT

OMAHA, AUGUST 26, 2008 –For a fifth year, Nebraska Orthopaedic Hospital is providing free injury evaluations and treatment at their Friday Night Injury Clinic, which begins this Friday, August 29. The Injury Clinic occurs each Friday in the Fall and is open from 9 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. to accommodate athletes after Friday night football games. Athletes will be able to visit an orthopaedic physician and physical therapist during this time to assess their injury or athletic pain for no cost. Casting, x-ray and bracing are also free at the clinic.

"Easy access to the assessment and treatment of sports related injuries is important for all athletes and that is what our Friday Night Injury Clinics are all about," said Tom Macy, Chief Executive Officer.  "We want to make sure that athletes can be seen by an orthopaedic surgeon and physical therapist as soon as possible after their injury occurs."
