Penn Sports Medicine Center
Whether you're the star of your school's soccer
team, the winner of your club's senior tennis
match or a professional athlete, a sports injury
means you often remain sitting on the bench. Painful
injuries for an athlete of any ability –
from the weekend warrior to the professional —
may also prove frustrating, especially if you
love to stay on the move.
The specialists at the Penn Sports Medicine Center
at Pennsylvania Hospital, led by a team experienced
with caring for professional, collegiate, and
recreational athletes, understand this state of
body and mind, and are specially trained in the
field of sports medicine. Their goal is to help
you return to play as quickly as possible with
the most appropriate treatment and rehabilitation
for your particular injury.
Our specialists employ a multidisciplinary approach
to provide an individualized treatment plan for
every patient. You’ll benefit from the convenience
of visiting multiple specialists, including orthopaedic
surgeons, physiatrists (rehabilitation medicine
physicians) and physical therapists.

The Penn Sports Medicine Center team also specializes
in the latest minimally invasive procedures. Arthroscopy
– a key sports medicine procedure –
is a minimally invasive method in which a fiber
optic camera is introduced into a joint, enabling
surgeons to operate through a small incision while
watching their movements on a television monitor.
This type of minimally invasive surgery benefits
patients because it results in minimal scarring,
a shorter hospital stay, and a faster recovery.
Arthroscopic procedures performed at the Penn
Sports Medicine Center include:
- Meniscal repair or resection
- Cartilage restoration
- Ligament reconstruction
- Fracture repair
