Frequently asked questions
Does every sports injury need surgery?
No. Many injuries are treated with rest, physiotherapy and bracing. Surgery is considered when the injury is severe or the joint stays unstable despite non-surgical care, and the decision is made after examination.
When should I see a doctor after a sports injury?
Straight away if the injury came with a pop, fast swelling, a change in the joint's shape or an inability to bear weight. Mild pain that persists or keeps returning with training also needs assessment.
Can I return to sport after an ACL tear?
Many athletes return to sport after appropriate treatment and a completed rehabilitation programme. Timing varies from person to person and depends on regaining knee strength and stability, not on a fixed date.
What is the difference between a sprain and a strain?
A sprain is an injury to a ligament, the tissue that connects bones within a joint. A strain affects a muscle or the tendon attaching it to bone. Telling them apart and grading the injury needs a clinical examination and sometimes an MRI.
Are sports injuries different in children and teenagers?
Yes. Children's bones are still growing, and some of their injuries involve the growth areas of the bone. They need assessment by a surgeon who treats pediatric orthopedic conditions.
