Sports medicine traditionally means providing specialized orthopedic care for people injured during sporting activities.
Fortunately, the techniques and skills developed over the last several decades to care for high-level athletes can now be applied to the “average” middle aged or older patient. Whether treating an ankle sprain from tripping over your dog, or surgically repairing a rotator cuff tear which occurred while playing catch with your grandchild, Dr. Fontes is skilled at applying the latest sports medicine advances to your care.
Common sports injuries include:
- ACL strains and tears
- Tennis elbow
- Rotator cuff tears
- Fractures
- Ankle sprains
