Sports Medicine, also known as sports and exercise medicine (SEM), is a branch of medicine that deals with the treatment and prevention of sports and exercise-related injuries and improving fitness and performance. The main objective of sports medicine is to help individuals engage in sports and exercise in a safe and effective manner.
A sports medicine team may comprise medical and non-medical specialists, such as physicians, surgeons, athletic trainers, physical therapists, sports psychologists, nutritionists, coaches, and personal trainers.
Mr. Turab Syed's approach emphasises getting athletes back to their sport quickly and safely while preventing re-injury.
These complex injuries involve damage to multiple ligaments in a joint, most commonly in the knee. Mr. Syed has expertise in treating these challenging injuries, which often require advanced surgical techniques and comprehensive rehabilitation programs.
Sprains involve stretched or torn ligaments, while strains involve stretched or torn muscles or tendons. Mr. Syed provides both non-surgical and surgical treatment options for these common sports injuries, depending on their severity.
The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage in the knee that acts as a cushion. Tears can occur during sports that involve sudden turns and stops. Mr. Syed offers both arthroscopic repair and partial meniscectomy procedures, depending on the type and location of the tear.
Damage to the articular cartilage can lead to pain, swelling, and eventually arthritis if left untreated. Mr. Syed offers various treatments including microfracture, autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), and osteochondral autograft transfer (OAT).
Joint dislocations occur when bones are forced out of their normal positions. Mr. Syed treats dislocations of various joints, including the shoulder, knee, and ankle, using both non-surgical and surgical approaches depending on the severity and recurrence of the dislocation.
Turf toe is a sprain of the main joint of the big toe that typically occurs when the toe is hyperextended. Mr. Syed provides treatment ranging from rest, ice, and rehabilitation exercises to surgical repair for severe cases.
