Sports health center

In mild injuries; Rest, bandage and splint
applications, non-steroidal pain relievers and edema solvents (NSAIDs),
regional cortisone injections and physical therapy applications are at the
forefront. Platelet-rich plasma injections, which are very popular
recently and used in the treatment of professional athletes, are also effective
in tissue healing. If the injury is severe, the damage is more; surgical
approach is required. Surgical applications; It consists of open and
closed (arthroscopic) interventions. With closed (arthroscopic) methods; It
is possible to view the intra-articular structures clearly on the screen and to
intervene. The damage to the patient is less and the recovery time is also
faster.



Success is achieved in the treatment of sports
injuries by supporting with physical therapy and rehabilitation after
arthroscopic surgery.

In case of sports injury, how should an emergency approach be,
and how should the definitive diagnosis be made?

The sport should be stopped immediately and the
athlete should be moved out of the playing area. Cold (ice) should be
applied to the injured area, the application should not be done over the bare
skin, a 1.5-2 hour break should be given after every 20-30 minutes of
application. In order to prevent swelling, compression should be applied
with an elastic bandage and the arm and leg should be raised to the heart
level. Then, a doctor who specializes in sports injuries should determine
the extent of the injury through a careful examination. The definitive
diagnosis is made in the hospital with the help of imaging tools. For the
diagnosis of fractures and dislocations in bones and joints, using direct
radiographs (x-ray) and computed tomography (CT), for the diagnosis of soft
tissue damage; ultrasonography (USG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
methods are used.
