Sports traumatology is the branch that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of trauma or injuries experienced during sports activities. In sports activities, knee joint, meniscus tears, anterior cruciate ligament injuries and cartilage damage occur. If rapid and correct intervention is not made after sports injuries, the treatment process may be prolonged.
Arthroscopic surgery is performed for the treatment of meniscus tears, anterior cruciate ligament injuries and posterior cruciate ligament injuries in knee joint injuries. Anterior cruciate ligament injuries and meniscus tears are common in individuals who engage in sports such as football, basketball and running.
Hip arthroscopy is used for dislocation, tissue compression and cartilage trauma in the hip joint. Traumas to the hip reduce mobility and cause severe pain. Emergency intervention is very important for post-traumatic hip injuries.
Shoulder impingement syndrome and shoulder dislocation are among the common traumas in athletes. Arthroscopy accelerates the surgical recovery process after shoulder trauma.
