Penn Sports Medicine Center

Whether you are the star of your school's soccer team, the winner of your club's seniors tennis match or a professional athlete, a sports injury means you are out of commission and on the bench. Painful injuries may also prove frustrating, especially if you love to stay on the move.

The specialists at the Penn Sports Medicine Center 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.

The Penn Sports Medicine Center provides comprehensive care for athletes of all abilities - from the weekend warrior to the professional athlete.

The Penn Sports Medicine team specializes in the latest minimally invasive procedures. Arthroscopy, a key sports medicine procedure is a minimally-invasive method in which a fiberoptic camera is introduced into a joint, enabling surgeons to watch their movements on a TV monitor while operating through small incisions. 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 Penn Sports Medicine Center include:

  • Meniscal repair or resection
  • Cartilage restoration
  • Ligament reconstruction
  • Fracture repair
