Sports traumatology is a sub-discipline of sports orthopedics. It specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and degenerative diseases resulting from sporting activities.

Sports traumatology – Further information Sport is an enrichment for life at any age. It keeps us fit and healthy and, at best, delays the signs of the aging process.

Unfortunately, sport can also harbor a risk of sports injuries. These do not always have to be bruises or abrasions or even broken bones. Often, incorrect strain is placed on tendons, muscles and ligaments in the body. Over time, these can lead to increasingly severe physical complaints and pain.

A sports traumatologist can help with these injuries and complaints Low-energy sports can also lead to permanent damage, particularly to joints, ligaments and bones.

The most common cases of sports injuries are actually joint injuries. Excessive joint wear and tear(osteoarthritis) is also often observed as a result of high loads and incorrect loading.

Treatment in sports traumatology at Emerald Avenue Medial Clinic - what is done and how?

Every treatment always begins with a thorough diagnosis. After a detailed doctor-patient consultation (anamnesis), an intensive physical examination is carried out by a specialist. Imaging procedures may also be used, such as: These procedures visualize various tissues and bones. They help the doctor to assess possible injuries.In general, treatment in sports traumatology should be as gentle as possible and without further trauma. Conservative measures include, for example:
  • Taping,
  • joint protection,
  • wearing special insoles and orthoses and
  • pain and anti-inflammatory medication.
If these measures are not sufficient, surgical intervention on the joint or tendons should be considered. Nowadays, such joint operations are usually performed as minimally invasive surgery at Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic in JBR.The sports traumatology specialist uses an endoscope to make a small incision in the joint to be “repaired”. Using a camera and special instruments, the sports doctor can operate on joint damage without large incisions.Shock wave therapy is also used in many specialist sports traumatology centers for chronic injuries, overuse or pain. The ultrasound waves of this method improve blood circulation and stimulate cells to divide, which accelerates healing.In this way, many sports traumas, such as:
  • Pain in the shoulder,
  • the widespread tennis elbowand tension can be treated on an outpatient basis by a specialist in sports traumatology.

Sometimes lengthy healing, but usually good prognosis

Thanks to minimally invasive surgical techniques for joint damage, sports injuries can be treated with gentle surgery. The complication rates are significantly lower than with conventional surgery and patients have a better chance of recovery.

However, sports traumatology only treats acute injuries. This is followed by rehabilitation. This is the only way to guarantee that the mobility of joints regenerates as quickly as possible. A combination of gentle exercise and physiotherapy to strengthen the muscles and tendons in the injured area has proven effective.

Depending on the origin of the injury and the time elapsed before adequate treatment is received, it usually takes several weeks to months for complete rehabilitation. After this, however, there is usually nothing to prevent you from resuming sporting activity.
