Sports Medicine — Basic Surgery & Care Outline

Evaluation & Nonoperative Care

• Injury assessment, imaging when necessary
• Conservative treatments: rest, bracing, PT, injections
• Return-to-play considerations and functional testing

Surgical Interventions

• Arthroscopy for meniscal, labral, and cartilage injuries
• Ligament reconstructions (ACL, shoulder stabilization)
• Platelet-rich plasma and advanced biologic adjuncts (when indicated)

Rehabilitation

• Phase-based rehab with strength and proprioception work
• Graduated sport-specific training and clearance

I can add clinician notes, expected timelines, or athlete-specific protocols.
