Sports Medicine
Regardless of age, sport, or ability level, athletes and active individuals alike depend on a healthy musculoskeletal system to perform at their highest aptitude. However, when a sports-related injury occurs, it can take you out of the game for days, weeks, or even months at a time, depending upon its severity.
At Vail-Summit Orthopaedics & Neurosurgery, our sports medicine doctors are the leading experts in the diagnosis and treatment of sports-related injuries and conditions.
When Should I Consult a Sports Medicine Specialist?
Sports medicine is a specialized branch of orthopaedics that focuses on treating sports-related injuries and conditions. Because athletes push their bodies, it's not uncommon for them to experience musculoskeletal injuries and pain during training and competition.
Some common sports-medicine-related injuries we see at Vail-Summit Orthopaedics & Neurosurgery include:
-
Shoulder Injuries: SLAP Tears and Rotator Cuff Issues

Elbow Injuries: Tennis Elbow, Golfer's Elbow, and Fractures

Hand and Wrist Injuries: Wrist Sprains and Fractures, Skier's Thumb, and Compressed Nerves

The sports medicine doctors at VSON thoroughly understand that injuries sustained during activity are painful, unexpected, and often devastating. Our fellowship-trained, sports medicine experts have dedicated their practices to getting you back in the game.
VSON doctors and their staff truly care about their patients and their outcomes. The two surgeries I needed on my left knee were planned and executed thoughtfully and compassionately. The post-OP care and PT were outstanding as well. THANK YOU, VSON!
