Sports injuries can range from minor sprains to severe ligament tears, affecting mobility and performance. At Max Healthcare, our specialists diagnose and treat a wide range of sports-related injuries using advanced medical techniques, ensuring a safe and effective recovery.

Ligament Injuries (ACL, MCL, PCL, etc.)

Ligament injuries, particularly in the knee, are common in high-impact sports. The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), and Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) are susceptible to tears due to sudden twists, falls, or direct impact. We offer minimally invasive arthroscopic ligament reconstruction, physical therapy, and regenerative treatments to restore joint stability and function.

Fractures & Dislocations

High-intensity activities can result in bone fractures and joint dislocations, leading to pain, swelling, and loss of movement. Our orthopaedic experts specialise in fracture fixation, realignment procedures, and post-injury rehabilitation to promote healing and prevent long-term complications.

Tendonitis & Muscle Strains

Overuse of muscles and tendons can cause inflammation, leading to conditions like Achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow, and hamstring strains. Our treatment approach includes rest, anti-inflammatory therapies, physiotherapy, and targeted exercises to reduce pain and strengthen the affected muscles.

Rotator Cuff Injuries

Shoulder injuries, especially rotator cuff tears, often occur in athletes involved in throwing or overhead sports. Symptoms include shoulder pain, weakness, and reduced mobility. We provide conservative management with physiotherapy and injections or surgical repair in severe cases to restore full range of motion.

Meniscus Tears

The meniscus, a cartilage in the knee, can tear due to sudden movements or heavy impact. This leads to pain, swelling, and joint instability. We offer arthroscopic meniscus repair, physiotherapy, and strengthening exercises to facilitate recovery while preserving knee function.

Shin Splints & Stress Fractures

Repetitive stress on the lower legs can cause shin splints and stress fractures, particularly in runners and high-impact sports athletes. Treatment includes rest, ice therapy, footwear modification, physiotherapy, and gradual return-to-sport programmes to prevent recurrence.

Key Treatments/Procedures We Offer for Common Sports Injuries

At Max Hospital, we specialise in advanced treatments for sports injuries, using the latest minimally invasive techniques, surgical expertise, and regenerative therapies to ensure optimal recovery. Whether you're an athlete recovering from an injury or an active individual seeking relief from joint pain, our expert orthopaedic surgeons and sports medicine specialists offer cutting-edge treatments designed to restore mobility, relieve pain, and enhance performance.

Here are some of the advanced treatments/procedures we offer:

Arthroscopic/ Keyhole Surgery

Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems with small incisions. A tiny camera (arthroscope) provides a clear view of the joint, allowing precise treatment with minimal tissue disruption. This technique is widely used for treating ligament tears, cartilage damage, and joint instability, ensuring faster recovery and minimal scarring.

Knee Arthroscopy & ACL Surgery

Knee arthroscopy is a highly effective procedure for treating meniscus tears, cartilage damage, and ligament injuries. One of the most common surgeries is ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) reconstruction, where a torn ligament is replaced with a graft to restore knee stability. This procedure helps athletes regain strength, mobility, and confidence for a full return to sports.

Shoulder Replacement

For individuals with severe arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, or joint damage, shoulder replacement surgery provides pain relief and restored mobility. The damaged shoulder joint is replaced with a high-performance implant, improving movement and allowing a pain-free range of motion. At Max Hospital, we use modern prosthetic designs to ensure long-lasting results, even for active individuals.

Shoulder Instability Surgery

Shoulder instability occurs when the joint is prone to dislocations due to ligament weakness or repetitive injuries. Surgery helps stabilise the joint by tightening and reinforcing the ligaments. Depending on the severity, it can be performed through arthroscopic techniques or open surgery. This procedure is crucial for athletes in overhead sports like swimming, tennis, and baseball to regain full function and prevent recurrent dislocations.

Knee Replacement

When arthritis, sports injuries, or joint degeneration severely impact knee function, a knee replacement can provide long-term relief and improved mobility. The damaged knee joint is replaced with a high-performance implant, enhancing flexibility, reducing pain, and improving quality of life. At Max Hospital, we offer robot-assisted knee replacement, ensuring greater precision, faster recovery, and better outcomes.

Hip Replacement

Hip injuries, fractures, and arthritis can lead to chronic pain and restricted mobility. Hip replacement surgery involves replacing the damaged joint with a durable prosthetic implant, allowing for pain-free movement and enhanced joint function. Our minimally invasive techniques ensure less tissue damage, quicker rehabilitation, and long-lasting results.

Rotator Cuff Surgery

The rotator cuff plays a vital role in shoulder movement and stability. Tears in this structure can cause pain, weakness, and limited mobility, especially in athletes involved in throwing sports. Rotator cuff surgery, performed through arthroscopic or open repair, helps restore shoulder function, strength, and range of motion.

Meniscus Tear Repair

Meniscus tears are common in high-impact sports that involve sudden movements or twisting. Depending on the severity, treatment may involve either repairing or trimming the damaged cartilage through minimally invasive arthroscopy. Preserving the meniscus is prioritised to maintain knee stability and prevent long-term joint issues.

Fracture & Complex Trauma Surgery

Severe sports-related fractures and complex trauma require specialised surgical intervention to ensure proper bone alignment and healing. At Max Hospital, we use advanced internal fixation techniques, including plates, screws, and rods, to stabilise fractures and accelerate recovery. Post-operative physiotherapy and rehabilitation play a crucial role in regaining full strength and mobility.

Frozen Shoulder Treatment

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is a condition that leads to pain and restricted movement due to joint stiffness. Treatment options at Max Hospital include physiotherapy, joint mobilisation, anti-inflammatory medications, and minimally invasive procedures like arthroscopic capsular release. Our goal is to restore full mobility and eliminate discomfort for a pain-free lifestyle.

PRP, Stem Cell Injections & Viscosupplementation

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy – PRP injections use platelets from the patient’s blood to accelerate tissue healing and reduce inflammation. This is highly effective for tendon injuries, muscle strains, and arthritis.
Stem Cell Therapy – Stem cells help regenerate damaged tissues and are used in treating cartilage damage, osteoarthritis, and ligament injuries.
Viscosupplementation – A gel-like fluid (hyaluronic acid) is injected into the joint to lubricate and cushion it, reducing pain and improving joint function in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
