Sports Injury Surgery


Sports injury surgery is the last and final treatment option for Common Sports Injuries Conditions There are many injuries that ultimately require surgery for a full recovery. ACL reconstructions, shoulder labral tears, and meniscus tears are just a few sports injuries that may require surgical intervention.

Exercising is good for you, but sometimes you can injure yourself when you play sports or exercise. Accidents, poor training practices or improper gear can cause them. Some people get hurt because they are not in shape. Not warming up or stretching enough can also lead to injuries.

The most common sports injuries are :


  1. Sprains and strains
  2. Knee injuries
  3. Swollen muscles
  4. Achilles tendon injuries
  5. Pain along the shin bone
  6. Fractures
  7. Dislocations

If you get hurt, stop playing. Continuing to play or exercise can cause more harm. Treatment often begins with the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation) method to relieve pain, reduce swelling and speed healing. Other possible treatments include pain relievers, keeping the injured area from moving, rehabilitation and sometimes surgery.


Types of surgery


Sports Injury Surgery can be performed for four types of conditions or injuries :


  • Acquired : - A condition that develops gradually. This type of condition can often be acquired through a repetitive type of movement related to a sorts or hobby.
  • Chronic : - A gradual degenerative condition that causes damage and deterioration to once normal structures, such as osteoarthritis.
  • Acute : - A condition that requires corrective surgery to relieve a sudden onset of a condition, such as an inflammation or infection
  • Trauma : - A significant injury that requires corrective surgery such as a fracture, rupture or dislocation.

Are there any risks associated with Sports Injury surgery?

Although Sport Injury Surgery is regularly performed without any complications, it is very important that all candidates are fully aware of both the benefits and risks of undertaking this type of specialist surgery, especially in relation to their ability to return to a sport or hobby they cherish.

All surgery, no mater how expertly or carefully it is performed, carries risks and the importance of a full evaluation and consultation to discuss your condition in relation to these risks with a leading Orthopaedic Surgeon who specialises in Sports injury surgery cannot be over emphasised.



How do I find out if I am a suitable candidate for Sports Injury surgery?

We Care India will be delighted to help you find a leading expert in Sports Injury surgery to consult with. Your surgeon will carry out a thorough evaluation of your condition and provide you with a comprehensive explanation of the most appropriate surgical solution.

Our Expert Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons are most carefully selected and recommended because they understand the importance of the decision you are making when contemplating complex Orthopaedic Surgery and because of their specialist Sports Injury expertise. Throughout your consultation you will therefore be encouraged to ask as many questions as you wish and to take your time in making a decision to proceed with any recommended treatment.

To ensure that patients are comfortable with any recommendations or advice given in their consultation, all patients are asked to go away after a consultation and think through all the information they have received. If for whatever reason you are still not sure about the best course of action and wish to have further dialogue with your surgeon, you will not be expected to pay for a second consultation appointment.
