Common Knee Injuries in Athletes: A Quick Guide🦵 At Advanced Surgery Center of Fort Myers, we specialize in treating athletes with knee injuries. Here's a brief overview of the most common issues we see: 1. ACL Tears: Often occur during sudden stops or direction changes. Symptoms include a popping sound, pain, and knee instability. 2. Meniscus Tears: Result from twisting motions. Look out for pain, swelling, and a feeling of your knee "locking." 3. MCL/LCL Injuries: Common in contact sports. These ligaments stabilize the sides of your knee. 4. Patellar Tendinitis: Known as "jumper's knee," it's common in sports with frequent jumping. Our minimally invasive, same-day surgical procedures can help you recover faster and get back to your sport sooner. Remember, early treatment is key to a swift recovery! If you're experiencing knee pain or instability, don't wait. Contact Advanced Surgery Center for expert diagnosis and treatment tailored to athletes. 👍🌈

Physical Therapy Guide to Lateral Collateral Ligament Sprain and Injury A lateral collateral ligament sprain occurs when the ligament on the outer side of the knee is overstretched. Collateral ligament knee injuries make up about 25% of severe knee injuries in the United States. They most often occur in adults aged 20 to 34 years and 55 to 65 years. LCL sprains mainly happen during sporting activities, including contact and noncontact sports. They affect women and men equally. Physical therapists treat people with LCL sprains to reduce pain, swelling, stiffness, and any related weakness in the knee or lower extremity. https://lnkd.in/gcJPeFtJ #spectrumtherapy #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapyelpaso #elpasotexas #qualitymatters #7locations

### 🚨 Ulnar Collateral Ligament/UCL/“Tommy John” Ligament 🚨 We are “full swing” into baseball season and, unfortunately, that means injuries, especially to pitchers. You may have heard about the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), often referred to as the “Tommy John” ligament. This injury has become an epidemic among major and minor-league baseball players. More concerningly, over the last 20 years, it's become a significant issue in college, high school, and even youth baseball! **Prevention is key** and, thankfully, these injuries are preventable. However, when they do occur, we are always searching for less invasive, non-operative ways to biologically heal the ligament and avoid Tommy John surgery. **Meet Peyton** – a non-operative success story after a UCL injury. We've found that adding bone marrow cells in addition to PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) tends to result in better outcomes for our patients. Stay tuned for future updates on innovative treatments and success stories! #Baseball #BaseballPitchers #BaseballInjuries #TommyJohnSurgery #TommyJohnLigament #UCL #UlnarCollateralLigament #SportsMedicine #InjuryPrevention #RegenerativeMedicine #PRPTherapy #BoneMarrowCells #NonOperativeTreatment #AthleteRecovery
