Recognizing the unique demands placed on athletes, we emphasize reconstructive procedures aimed at addressing joint wear and tear commonly seen in the knee, hip, and shoulder due to performance stresses and repetitive strain.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat joint disorders. Through a small incision, an arthroscope—a tiny camera—is inserted into the joint, allowing surgeons to visualize its interior on a monitor in real time. This method facilitates accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
Common Arthroscopy Procedures:
Knee Arthroscopy: Treats meniscal tears, ligament injuries (ACL, PCL), cartilage damage, and infections.
Shoulder Arthroscopy: Addresses rotator cuff and labral tears, recurrent dislocations, impingement syndrome, and mobility issues.
Hip Arthroscopy: Targets labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), hip dysplasia, and synovitis.
Ankle Arthroscopy: Used for cartilage injuries, impingement, loose bodies, and synovitis.
Elbow Arthroscopy: Treats conditions such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, osteoarthritis, and stiffness.
Wrist Arthroscopy: Helps diagnose and treat carpal tunnel syndrome, ligament injuries, TFCC tears, and arthritis.
Capabilities:
Diagnostic Precision: Direct visualization of cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and joint surfaces allows for accurate identification of joint pathologies.
Therapeutic Interventions: Enables procedures including ligament reconstructions, meniscus repairs, cartilage restoration, synovectomy, and removal of loose bodies or bone spurs.
Post-Operative Rehabilitation: Tailored physical therapy programs promote recovery of joint function, strength, and mobility.
Sports Medicine
Our orthopedic sports medicine program focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports and exercise-related injuries.
Key Services:
Injury Prevention: Educating athletes, coaches, and trainers on proper techniques, conditioning, warm-ups, and equipment use to reduce injury risk.
Accurate Diagnosis: Utilizing advanced imaging (X-rays, MRI, CT scans) and clinical evaluation to assess injury severity and impact.
Acute Injury Management: Immediate treatment of fractures, ligament tears (ACL, PCL), dislocations, muscle strains, and sprains using splints, casts, or surgery as required.
Surgical Care: Arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction, joint stabilization, and cartilage restoration surgeries performed by experienced orthopedic sports surgeons to restore function and enable safe return to sport.
Rehabilitation & Physical Therapy: Customized recovery plans aimed at restoring strength, flexibility, and performance while minimizing re-injury risk.
Overuse Injury Treatment: Managing chronic injuries such as stress fractures, tendonitis, and repetitive strain through activity modification, therapy, and when needed, surgical intervention.
