Sports injuries happen due to exercise or sports activities. While staying active is great for your health, it can also result in injuries to your bones, muscles, and soft tissues.
These injuries may happen suddenly - like a sprained ankle or fractured wrist - or develop gradually from overuse, poor training habits, or faulty equipment. Common sports injuries include:
Mild sports injuries may heal with rest and care at home, but chronic and severe injuries need medical attention to prevent long-term damage. At Sohana Hospital, trusted ortho specialists are experienced in treating all kinds of sports injuries from minor sprains to complex fractures - so that you rest assured you are in safe hands.
Choose from a Wide Range of Knee Replacement Options at Sohana Orthopaedic Centre
With TKR, the entire knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant. It is an ideal solution if you suffer from severe arthritis or grave injury that has caused extensive damage to your knee.
With PKR, only the damaged part of the knee is replaced. It is an ideal choice if you have localized knee damage, i.e., damage is confined to only one compartment of your knee.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement is the most advanced technique that uses robotic technology. Done through minor cuts, it ensures greater precision, leading to quicker recovery and less pain.
If you have any doubt about an injury, you should visit a qualified healthcare provider. Some repetitive strain injuries can be hard for a layperson to recognize. Only a specialist can guide you well.
You might not realize that an injury has occurred if you cannot relate your symptoms to a particular event. At the same time, in case of an acute injury, you might not be able to find out on your own - if it’s serious. Watch out for these signs:
1. Severe pain that does not heal
2. Excessive swelling, bruising, or bleeding
3. Bones looking out of place
4. Difficulty moving or using the injured part
The initial diagnosis of sports injuries starts in the casualty or OPD. Your doctor notes down your medical history, and asks questions to understand the circumstances when and how you got injured. They then conduct a physical examination of the injured part. They might check how the injured body part moves, how it looks, or how it feels on touching.
According to the type and seriousness of your injury, they may ask you to go for:
Based on diagnosis of the injury, expert ortho specialists at Sohana Hospital advise appropriate treatment options to ensure you are back on track sooner than you expected.
ACL & PCL Tears, Jumper’s Knee, Runner’s Knee
Ankle Sprains, Ankle Fractures, Other Ankle Problems
Tennis Elbow, Elbow Bursitis, Golfer’s Elbow
Rotator Cuff Injuries, Shoulder Dislocation, Shoulder Fracture
Leg Muscle Strains, Hamstring Injuries, Shin Splint
Achilles Tendinitis, Achilles Tendon Rupture
If you have severe pain, swelling, bruising, bleeding, or trouble moving a particular body part, you should see a doctor immediately. It is because such symptoms may point to a serious problem.
Non-serious injuries may heal with RICE treatment (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) that you can do at home itself. The others or serious injuries may need physiotherapy or surgery. Sohana Hospital has highly-experienced doctors who are trained in treating all kinds of sports injuries.
You need surgery for severe ligament tears, fractures, or injuries that do not heal with rest, medications, and physical therapy. At Sohana Hospital, we have dedicated surgeons who specialize in surgery of different parts of the body. For example, for knee injuries, we have expert knee surgeons, including the internationally acclaimed orthopaedist Dr. Gagandeep S. Sachdeva.
Recovery depends on the injury type. You may recover from simple injuries, such as sprains, strains, and bruises, in a few days. In case you suffer a fracture that needs surgery, recovery may range from a few weeks to several months. With advanced robotic surgery at Sohana Hospital, you recover faster.
Yes. Physiotherapy helps strengthen muscles, restore mobility, and speed up recovery after an injury. It may help you recover from mild sports injuries. But in case of serious injuries, you may need other treatments.
Yes. But you must wait for complete recovery before that. Also, it is important to follow your doctor’s advice. We see so many celebrity sports persons suffering sports injuries off and on-field, and returning to their game once they recover.
