Whether you’re a professional athlete, weekend runner, or simply active in daily life, injuries can happen to anyone. That’s where orthopedic sports medicine comes in — a subspecialty focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing injuries of the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments that keep you moving.

A radial head fracture is one of the most common elbow injuries—often caused by a fall onto an outstretched arm. These injuries can range from small, stable cracks to complex fractures that require surgical repair,

Hockey is one of the most dynamic and physically demanding sports. High-speed skating, sudden direction changes, and heavy contact put major stress on the joints, muscles, and bones. Whether you play recreationally or competitively, knowing the most common orthopedic hockey injuries—and how they’re diagnosed and treated—can help you recover faster and stay in the game.

The extensor mechanism of the knee, made up of the quadriceps tendon, patella, and patellar tendon, is critical for walking, running, and jumping. Tears of the patellar tendon or quadriceps tendon are serious injuries that disrupt knee extension, causing pain, weakness, and disability.This article explores reasons why these tendon tears occur, indications for operative and non-operative management, and the latest surgical techniques and evidence-based outcomes.

The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage that cushions and stabilizes the knee joint. When severely damaged or removed (meniscectomy), patients may develop pain, swelling, and an increased risk of early arthritis. For younger, active patients with persistent knee symptoms after meniscus loss, a meniscus transplant (meniscal allograft transplantation) may be recommended. This blog explores why a meniscus transplant may be necessary, the techniques used, and what current evidence says about outcomes.

Orthopedic sports medicine has entered an exciting era. With athletes and active individuals demanding faster recovery and longer-lasting joint health, innovation is driving new approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and joint preservation. From biologics to robotics, these emerging technologies are reshaping how physicians manage sports injuries and degenerative joint conditions. In this article, we’ll explore the top emerging technologies and treatments in orthopedic sports medicine and joint preservation, their potential benefits, and how they are transforming patient care.

ACL tears are a frequent injury in sports and physical activities that involve quick stops, sudden changes in direction, or direct impacts to the knee. Recognizing the symptoms of an ACL tear early can prevent further damage and speed up your recovery. In this guide, we’ll help you identify common signs of an ACL injury and explain when it’s important to consult a knee specialist for treatment.

Learn how cartilage preservation and joint restoration surgeries like MACI and osteochondral allograft procedures help restore knee function, reduce pain, and delay joint replacement.
