Sports Medicine is a medical specialty concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of sports and exercise-related injuries. It is a multidisciplinary approach in which physicians, orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and other healthcare professionals collaborate to improve athletic performance, prevent injuries, and facilitate rehabilitation for people involved in sports and physical activity.
Arthroscopic Surgery, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive surgical method for diagnosing and treating joint issues. It includes inserting a small, flexible device known as an arthroscope through small incisions near the joint. The arthroscope has a small camera and specialized surgical instruments that allow the surgeon to see within the joint and execute a variety of surgical procedures, such as repairing torn ligaments, removing damaged cartilage, or treating other joint-related diseases. Arthroscopic surgery has several advantages over standard open surgery, including fewer incisions, less tissue damage, quicker recovery times, and a lower chance of complications.
