Sports Orthopedics

Sports orthopedics is a specialized branch of sports medicine focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing injuries related to sports and physical activity. It involves the care of musculoskeletal issues, such as fractures, ligament tears, and joint problems, that athletes and active individuals may encounter. Sports orthopedists use a combination of physical therapy, orthopedic procedures, and sometimes surgery to help patients recover and return to their sport safely. Their goal is to enhance performance, restore function, and ensure overall physical well-being for both amateur and professional athletes.
