Sports Medicine
Sports
Medicine encompasses the medial,
surgical and rehabilitative
services that treat injuries
from sports activities and
overuse syndromes. Acute
injuries such as an ACL (knee
ligament) tear, or overuse such
as Little Leaguer’s Shoulder all
benefit from a surgeon who
treats the spectrum of athletic
injuries and has an awareness of
the demands of different sports.
Clinical judgment of when a
patient may safely resume
professional or recreational
activity, and how to prevent a
further injury, are critical
elements provided by our Sports
Medicine specialists. We are
pleased that the Oakland
Athletics continues to choose
our surgeons for their
orthopedic needs.
Knee & Shoulder
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy allows diagnosis and treatment
of knee and shoulder disorders by providing a clear view of the inside
of the joint, using an arthroscope inserted through small incisions. The
arthroscope transmits an image of your knee through a small camera to a
TV monitor, which allows the surgeon to examine the interior of your
knee and determine the source of the problem. During the procedure, the
surgeon can also remove or repair damaged tissues by inserting surgical
instruments through other small incisions.
