Sports Medicine
Comprehensive Sports-Medicine Care
Sports injuries demand a specialised approach that balances rapid recovery with long-term joint health. Whether you are a competitive athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone who simply enjoys an active lifestyle, our sports-medicine programme provides end-to-end care—from acute injury management through rehabilitation and return-to-sport clearance.
Common Sports Injuries We Treat
Our team manages the full spectrum of sports-related musculoskeletal injuries, including:
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears — Arthroscopic reconstruction using hamstring or patellar-tendon autografts.
- Meniscus tears — Repair when feasible, partial meniscectomy when necessary, with a focus on preserving native tissue.
- Rotator-cuff injuries — From partial-thickness tears managed conservatively to full-thickness tears requiring arthroscopic repair.
- Shoulder instability — Arthroscopic Bankart repair and Latarjet procedures for recurrent dislocations.
- Ankle ligament injuries — Acute management and, when needed, anatomical ligament reconstruction.
- Stress fractures — Diagnosis, activity modification, and metabolic workup to address underlying causes.
- Tendinopathies — Achilles, patellar, and lateral epicondylar tendinopathy managed with structured rehabilitation and, when indicated, PRP injections.
Injury Prevention and Screening
Prevention is always better than cure. We offer pre-season musculoskeletal screening for sports teams and individual athletes. Screening includes functional movement analysis, strength and flexibility assessment, and identification of biomechanical risk factors. Based on the findings, we prescribe targeted neuromuscular training programmes designed to reduce the incidence of ACL injuries, ankle sprains, and overuse conditions.
Rehabilitation and Return to Sport
Returning to sport after injury is not just about healing—it is about restoring strength, proprioception, agility, and confidence. Our rehabilitation protocols are sport-specific and milestone-driven rather than calendar-driven. Patients progress through clearly defined stages, and return-to-sport clearance is granted only after objective functional testing confirms that they are ready. This disciplined approach minimises the risk of re-injury.
Concussion and Overtraining Assessment
Our sports-medicine service extends beyond joints and muscles. We provide baseline and post-injury concussion assessments using standardised tools and advise on graduated return-to-play protocols. We also counsel athletes on training-load management, nutrition, hydration, and sleep—factors that are often overlooked but critical to sustained performance and injury prevention.
