Sports Traumatology

Sports Traumatology is a specialized branch of orthopedic medicine focused on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries related to athletic activities. These injuries often affect the musculoskeletal system, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and bones, and can result from both acute trauma and chronic overuse. By combining advanced surgical techniques with personalized rehabilitation programs, sports traumatology aims to restore function, reduce downtime, and ensure a safe return to sports.
