Sport Orthopaedic Treatment
Sports orthopaedic procedures focus on helping athletic patients by treating knee injuries, alleviating pain, accelerating healing, improving functions and maintaining healthy ligaments and tendons in the knee. Dr Street offers general and specific surgery to any sportsperson who has acquired an injury. He also offers these surgeries to people who do not play sports.
What are the common injuries that athletic patients get treated for?
Knee dislocation – When the oblong bone that covers the knee slides or shifts, it causes a kneecap dislocation. Frequently, the dislocation happens on the outside of the leg.
Meniscal tears – Athletes' most common cause of meniscus tears is upper-leg twisting or turning when the foot remains planted and the knee is bent. The most frequent knee ailments include meniscus tears.
Bursitis –As the name suggests, bursitis is a painful condition that affects your bursae, which are sacs that contain fluid and cushion the bones, tendons, and muscles near your joints. Swelling of the bursae causes bursitis. Shoulders, elbows, and hips are the most common sites for bursitis to develop.
Tendonitis/ Tendon tears – Inflammation of the strong fibrous cords that connect muscle to bone is known as tendinitis. Tendons are the name for these cords. Just outside a joint, the disease causes discomfort and tenderness. A tendon tear is a term used to describe microscopic tears in the tissue surrounding the tendon resulting from a muscle's poor capacity to absorb stress, load, and/or force. These tears can happen almost anywhere in the body, where a tendon joins a bone and a muscle.
Iliotibial band syndrome – A tendon can become inflamed or irritated when it rubs against your hip or knee bones.
What surgeries are done for the above sports injuries?
Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL) is a procedure to reconstruct the medial patellofemoral ligament to stabilise and safeguard the knee.
Medial Retinacular Repair – In addition to preventing symptoms of patellofemoral instability, surgery to reattach the medial retinaculum to the patella should lessen the frequency of recurrent patellar dislocation. Surgery should also make it easier to resume pre-injury activities as per usual.
Tibial tubercle osteotomy is a surgical treatment used in conjunction with others to treat osteoarthritis, patellofemoral discomfort, and patellar instability.
Arthroscopic meniscectomy is a minimally invasive outpatient surgery performed to repair a torn meniscus cartilage in the knee.
Bursectomy is a surgical operation to remove a tiny, liquid-filled sac from a joint that develops from bursitis, an inflammatory disease.
Tendon repair surgery –a torn or otherwise injured tendon may require surgery.
Surgical release of the iliotibial band – includes removing a portion of the band's inner rear region that rubs against the leg bone during knee flexion.
