Cases of these injuries include falls, hits as in injuries of the head, such as a concussion, the spine, the upper limb ones, such as shoulder and elbow injuries, especially in sports like golf, tennis and volleyball, or in the lower limb occurring mostly during football matches, such as knee injuries as in runner’s knee (chondromalacia patellae) and knee ligament injuries, specifically torn meniscus. Sport injuries also involve joint dislocations, bruises, and sprains such as sprained ankle injury. Therefore, ortho sports injuries can be classified into bone, muscle and tendon, and nerve injuries; they are also related to internal organ ones.

It is also called sports medicine surgery that forms a part of orthopedic surgeries in which sports injury surgeon helps injured athletes to restore their physical fitness and normal performance.
Types of Sports Ortho Procedure
As sport injuries are diverse, types of treatment or surgeries vary from ambulatory, or outpatients surgery, which is performed quickly and does not require an overnight hospital stay, to very serious sport injuries, such as head and spinal cord injuries and critical internal organ injuries as in heart and lungs damage injuries in which sports injury surgeons strive to save the athlete’s life and reduce the risk of internal organ bleeding or paralysis. Moreover, some procedure types include repairing fractures and treating joints and ligaments; whereas others alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and improve movement.
Surgical Process of Sports Orthopaedic Procedure
Before deciding whether the procedure is the appropriate treatment for any sport injury, the injured athlete undergoes a set of medical examinations including X-rays and a diagnosis of symptoms of the injury for choosing the appropriate non-surgical treatment, such as injections, medicines, and physical therapy. However, in case of choosing performing the procedure, the injured athlete undergoes either an open surgery or an endoscopic one to treat cases of bone fractures usingmetal screws, pins, and rods to hold the bone in its place. Furthermore, the procedures are efficient at repairing ligaments and tendons and even replacing a damaged joint.
