SPORTS MEDICINE

Sports Medicine concerns the evaluation and treatment of injuries that have been incurred during the course of athletic endeavors. The diagnosis of any sports-related injury should be made promptly by an orthopaedic surgeon so that treatment can be implemented immediately allowing the athlete to heal and return to competition with less chance of repeated injury.

Due to the increase in athletic participation by both young and old, the sub-specialty of Sports Medicine becomes very important to the orthopedist in diagnosing and treating these types of injuries and the demands that athletes place on early return to competition.
