This feature will allow a user to search the image library by keywords and then download the image.
The AOSSM’s Online Library is a free, unique, Web-based search engine that allows members to customize and save searches on relevant orthopaedic sports medicine terms and by the AOSSM curriculum. Users have access to resources such as AJSM, Sports Health, meeting abstracts, online meetings, and other AOSSM resources. To access the library, go to www.sportsmedlibrary.org.
