promoting quicker recovery and better outcomes for athletes.

Introduction

Sports injuries are injuries that occur during physical activity, such as playing a sport or exercising. They can be divided into two categories: acute and chronic injuries. Acute injuries happen suddenly and cause noticeable symptoms, while chronic injuries develop gradually and result from overuse. Some common types of sports injuries include sprains, strains, knee, ankle and shoulder injuries, swollen muscles, rotator cuff injuries, fractures, and dislocations. Sports injuries can be treated with rest, ice, compression, elevation, pain medications, physical therapy, or surgery, depending on the severity and location of the injury.

As an sports orthopedic surgeon, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive care from conservative to surgical management. Sports injuries may need surgeries which include fracture fixation, tendon and ligament repair through open or arthroscopic techniques.

Common Arthroscopic Procedures

  • Knee Arthroscopy
    • Describing knee arthroscopy as a versatile procedure used to diagnose and treat various knee conditions, including meniscal tears, ACL tears, cartilage injuries, and synovitis.
    • Exploring specific knee arthroscopic procedures, such as meniscectomy, meniscal repair, ACL reconstruction, and chondroplasty.
  • Shoulder Arthroscopy
    • Discussing the role of shoulder arthroscopy in diagnosing and treating shoulder conditions, such as rotator cuff tears, labral tears, shoulder impingement, and instability.
    • Explaining common shoulder arthroscopic procedures, including rotator cuff repair, labral repair, subacromial decompression, and shoulder stabilization.
  • Hip Arthroscopy
    • Exploring the emerging role of hip arthroscopy in managing hip conditions, such as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), labral tears, hip dysplasia, and synovitis.
    • Describing hip arthroscopic procedures, such as labral repair, osteochondroplasty, femoral and acetabular rim trimming, and synovial biopsy.
