Guadalupe Regional Medical Center |Health Currents | Fall 2024

grmedcenter.com | 4 Award-winning orthopedic care When sports injuries occur, urgent and emergency care are available for immediate evaluation and treatment. Should the injury require further medical care, our award-winning team of orthopedic surgeons is here for you. Sprains, strains and fractures sometimes require surgical repair. The most common sports-related surgeries involve the knee and shoulder, and minor surgeries may be performed to repair tendons or ligaments. Oftentimes surgery is not required, but an orthopedist can provide the expertise to guide the recovery phases of the injury. An orthopedist may use splinting or bracing to immobilize the injured body part, and they may coordinate with our excellent team of physical and occupational therapists for an exercise rehabilitation program. Orthopedists also work hand-in-hand with the athlete’s primary care physician, coaches and trainers to ensure a safe and ideal return to an active lifestyle.
