Sports Pathology & Surgery
Expert care for ligament, tendon, and joint injuries to restore mobility and performance
KNEE LIGAMENTS & MENISCUS
ACL, PCL, MCL injuries and meniscus tears from pivoting, jumping, or contact sports.
- ACL / PCL tears
- MCL / LCL sprains
- Meniscus tears
- Patellar instability
What is it?
Ligament and meniscus injuries are common in pivoting sports and affect joint stability, cartilage health, and overall function.
SHOULDER INJURIES
Rotator cuff injuries, impingement, and labral tears — common in overhead athletes.
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy/tear
- Shoulder impingement & bursitis
- Labral tears (SLAP / Bankart)
- Recurrent instability
What is it?
Shoulder injuries from overhead load or trauma affect joint stability, range of motion, and strength.
ANKLE & FOOT
Ankle sprains, Achilles injuries, plantar fasciitis and running-related stress injuries.
- Lateral and high ankle sprains
- Achilles tendinopathy/rupture
- Plantar fasciitis
- Stress fractures
What is it?
Ankle and foot injuries disrupt stability, acceleration, and change of direction in sport.
TENDINOPATHY & OVERUSE
Repetitive strain injuries from excessive or poorly managed training loads.
- Patellar & quadriceps tendinopathy
- Hamstring & adductor tendinopathy
- Tennis / golfer’s elbow
- Shin splints (MTSS)
What is it?
Tendinopathy develops when cumulative load exceeds the tendon’s ability to recover.
CARTILAGE INJURY & ARTHROSCOPY
Articular cartilage damage managed with arthroscopy for mechanical symptoms.
- Chondral and osteochondral lesions
- Loose bodies
- Plica and impingement
What is it?
Cartilage injury causes mechanical pain, swelling, and restriction of motion.
PERFORMANCE & RETURN-TO-SPORT
Criteria-based return-to-sport programs with prevention strategies and performance optimisation.
- Return-to-sport testing & protocols
- Strength, power & plyometric progressions
- Agility and neuromuscular training
- Injury prevention programs (e.g. FIFA 11+, PEP)
What is it?
Return-to-sport focuses on readiness testing and reducing reinjury risk while restoring performance.
