Abstract

A branch of orthopedics called orthopedic sports medicine is dedicated to treating musculoskeletal pathologies brought on by participation in sports. The most challenging thing to deal with while working with athletes is timing. Athletes usually want to get back to playing at their pre-injury level as quickly as feasible. This means that management needs to be tailored to balance the urge for a quick return to sports with the musculoskeletal system's natural healing process. Sports medicine surgeons face a significant challenge in light of this since they must stay up to date on the most recent scientific findings to provide their patients with the best possible care. We provide a quick overview of the most popular orthopedic sports medicine treatments and the current body of scientific research on their benefits and indications.
