Regardless of whether you are running a marathon, biking your favorite trail or taking your first steps toward a healthier life; the same
expertise used for the competitive athlete can be applied to return the individual. Sports medicine takes a team approach to address injuries and lingering conditions that impede overall health, wellness, and functionality. Although 90% of sports and exercise related injuries can be resolved without surgery, 10% require the intervention of an orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Raunak Singh, sports medicine physician, and Dr. Christopher Inzerillo, Chair of Orthopedics, discuss common injuries, prevention, and when surgical intervention is necessary.
