Summary

This study tests a program to help Hispanic teen soccer players get timely knee surgery. Many face barriers like language and insurance issues that delay care. The program includes an educational talk and a bilingual navigator to guide families. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and well-received, with a future larger trial in mind.
