Sports Injury and Trauma
Sports injuries are common and can affect athletes at all levels, from weekend warriors to professional competitors. These injuries can involve bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. While many sports-related injuries are preventable with proper training, warm-ups, and equipment, accidents can still occur. While non-operative measures may be enough to manage some injuries, sports injuries can often be complex and in some cases require surgical intervention for proper healing and to return athletes to their peak performance.
