Sports Medicine

Return to activity begins with the right diagnosis. Care is planned around the injured structure, the demands of sport or work and measurable recovery milestones.

Conditions

Commonly assessed sports and activity-related problems.

  • ACL, PCL, collateral-ligament and meniscal injuries.
  • Shoulder instability and rotator-cuff problems.
  • Muscle and tendon injuries.
  • Patellofemoral and running-related knee pain.
  • Ankle sprains, cartilage injuries and stress injuries.
  • Fractures and return to activity after trauma.
Treatment

Not every sports injury needs surgery.

Many injuries improve with load modification, rehabilitation, strength and movement retraining, bracing or time. Surgery may be discussed for persistent instability, mechanical locking, displaced or repairable tissue injury, significant structural damage or failure of appropriate rehabilitation.

Return to sport

Readiness is more than time on a calendar.

  • Pain and swelling control.
  • Range of motion.
  • Strength symmetry.
  • Functional and sport-specific movement tests.
  • Confidence and psychological readiness.
  • Assessment of reinjury risk.
Important

A locked joint, visible deformity, inability to bear weight after trauma, numbness or loss of circulation requires urgent assessment.
