What is sports traumatology?

It is the area of orthopedics that diagnoses and treats, with or without surgery, injuries to bones, joints, ligaments, menisci and tendons caused by sports. The goal is to return the person to activity with the lowest risk of re-injury.

Which injuries does it treat?

Cruciate ligament tears and meniscus injuries in the knee, shoulder dislocation and instability, rotator cuff injuries, severe sprains and ankle instability, Achilles tendon ruptures, cartilage injuries, fractures and stress fractures.

Which techniques are used?

Arthroscopy is the main tool, allowing repair or reconstruction of ligaments, menisci and cartilage through small incisions. Biological treatments such as platelet-rich plasma are used in selected cases, and open surgery when needed.

What is return to sport like?

After surgery comes staged rehabilitation lasting weeks to several months, as with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Clearance is based on objective tests of strength, stability and control, not just elapsed time.
