Treatment of Sports Injuries

Sports injury treatment: returning to an active life

Sports embody health, energy, and dynamism, but intense physical activities can lead to injuries that require professional treatment. From strains and ligament tears to complex joint injuries—timely and expert intervention is key to recovery. Modern orthopedics not only remedies the effects of injuries but also restores athletes' functionality and quality of life.

Common types of sports injuries

Each sport has its specifics, and the nature of injuries can vary. However, the most common include:

• joint injuries (knee, shoulder, elbow) such as meniscal tears or rotator cuff tears
• ligament injuries, for example, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, which account for up to 40% of all knee injuries among athletes
• fractures and stress fractures, more common among runners and athletes exposed to repetitive impact
• muscle injuries—strains or tears caused by sudden movements or overloads Research shows that up to 30% of all sports injuries are related to overuse, caused by improper technique or insufficient preparation for physical activity.

Modern methods of treating sports injuries

Advances in orthopedics make injury treatment more accurate and effective. Currently, the following techniques are widely used:

Minimally invasive surgical methods:

• Arthroscopy has become the gold standard for treating most joint injuries. This method allows the surgeon to operate through small incisions, minimizing tissue trauma and accelerating rehabilitation. For example, recovery from arthroscopic meniscus tear repair takes only 6–8 weeks.
• Modern biomaterials such as absorbable anchors and sutures effectively secure damaged tissues.

Biological therapy:

• PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections. This method accelerates the healing of soft tissues like ligaments and muscles. Studies have shown that PRP therapy reduces pain by 30% and speeds up recovery by 20% compared to traditional methods.
• Stem cell stimulation. This approach is used for cartilage regeneration and treatment of chronic injuries, such as tendinopathies.

Modern rehabilitation protocols

Integrating physical exercises and physiotherapy helps restore mobility, muscle strength, and prevent recurrent injuries. For instance, the technique of "active mobilization" has proven its effectiveness in reducing the risk of ligament re-tear by 35%.
