Treatments

Arthroscopy and sports medicine focus on diagnosing, treating, and preventing injuries and disorders related to the musculoskeletal system, particularly those affecting athletes and physically active individuals. Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a small camera (arthroscope) inserted into the joint through tiny incisions to diagnose and treat joint problems. It is commonly used for the knee, shoulder, hip, and ankle. Sports medicine complements arthroscopy by addressing injuries through non-surgical methods, rehabilitation, and performance optimization. Together, they play a vital role in restoring mobility, managing pain, and ensuring a safe return to physical activity.

Arthroscopy Overview

• Minimally invasive procedure using a camera to view and treat joint issues.
• Commonly used for diagnosing and treating ligament tears, cartilage damage, and joint inflammation.

Benefits of Arthroscopy

• Small incisions and minimal scarring.
• Shorter recovery times compared to open surgery.
• Precise diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Common Arthroscopic Procedures

• ACL reconstruction (knee).
• Rotator cuff repair (shoulder).
• Meniscus repair or removal (knee).
• Removal of bone spurs or loose bodies in joints.

Sports Medicine Focus

• Prevention, diagnosis, and management of sports-related injuries.
• Rehabilitation and recovery optimization for athletes.
• Enhancing physical performance and preventing re-injury.

Common Sports Injuries Treated

• Sprains, strains, and ligament injuries.
• Tendonitis or tendon tears.
• Stress fractures and dislocations.
• Overuse injuries like runner's knee or tennis elbow.
