Surgical Expertise

If surgery for an injury is required, Baptist Health offers advanced outpatient arthroscopic techniques that help reduce recovery time, decrease scarring and cause less trauma to the connective tissue.

Common injuries requiring arthroscopic surgery include:
  • rotator cuff injury;

ACL tears in the knee

  • meniscus tears in the knee
  • labrum tears in the shoulder
  • damage to the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee
  • inflamed lining in the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist or ankle
  • carpal tunnel release
  • torn ligaments and removal of loose bone or cartilage in the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle or wrist.

Physical Therapy

Overuse injuries in the knees and shoulders are the most commonly seen by our outpatient physical therapists who are specially trained in sports medicine. With an injury, exercise may help you get back in the game. Without an injury, exercise can also be helpful in preventing an injury. It must be the right exercise with correct technique. If done incorrectly, it can do more harm than good.
