Types of Sports Medicine Surgical Procedures

Shoulder Procedures

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body. It's capable of many different types of movement and has a total range of motion of 70 to 90 degrees. The kinds of movements necessary for an athlete - such as repetitive overhead movements or hard impacts - can put your shoulder at risk of serious injury.

Below, we've included links to common procedures for treating shoulder sports injuries. Take some time to evaluate them and learn about your treatment options. You can also visit our shoulder surgical procedures page to view a complete list of all the surgical options we offer.

Elbow Procedures

Many of the motions necessary to participate in sports, such as overhead motions or repetitive motions, can cause damage to vulnerable areas like the elbow over time. For example, golf and tennis players are at risk of elbow injury due to repetitive stress on the medial elbow soft tissues.

Careful evaluation is necessary before diagnosing and treating your elbow condition. Below we've provided links to videos that explain some of the most common surgical procedures offered by Resurgens to treat elbow sports injuries.

Hip Procedures

Hip inflammation and injury are common in athletes. While healthy hips are normally protected from direct trauma by a network of muscles from the thighs, buttocks, and lower back, injury can occur from chronic overuse of the joint. Chronic overuse of the joint is common in cyclists, runners, baseball players, and golfers.

High contact performance athletes - especially those at the college or professional level - are at a significant risk of developing hip injuries. These injuries can cause debilitating pain, loss of hip function, and premature ending to an athletic career.

Knee Procedures

Repetitive impact and collision in sports like football and soccer can result in damage to ligaments and cartilage in the knee. The most common ligament injuries in the knee involve a tear or sprain to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or medial collateral ligament (MCL).

The knee has a lot of vital components, including bones like the femur, tibia, and patella as well as muscles and ligaments. Each part of the knee anatomy must function properly for the knee to work.

Foot and Ankle Procedures

The foot and ankle are some of the most delicate bones in your body. Their complex construction allows for a wide range of movements, from incremental ballet steps to running long distances.

Athletes involved in sports that require jumping and running - like running, soccer, football, baseball, and dancing - are typically at a higher risk of foot and ankle injury. That's because these movements place considerable demands on the feet.

Resurgens also offers many non-surgical solutions to treat sports injuries. Book an appointment today to discuss your options with an expert physician.
