At Princeton Orthopaedic Associates, we take pride in our expert team who excel in delivering specialized care for a wide range of sports-related issues.

Common Sports Medicine Conditions

Sprains and Strains 

It's common for athletes to experience sprains (ligament injuries) and strains (muscle injuries). Our sports medicine specialists are skilled in diagnosing the severity of these injuries and providing appropriate treatment, which may include rest, physical therapy, or even surgical intervention.

Fractures and Dislocations 

Broken bones and joint dislocations can sideline even the most dedicated athletes. Our team of sports medicine doctors can expertly assess these injuries, providing surgical intervention when necessary and guiding the recovery process.

Overuse Injuries 

Athletes often face overuse injuries, such as stress fractures or tendonitis. These conditions require a delicate balance of rest, physical therapy, and ergonomic adjustments. Our specialists develop personalized treatment plans to promote a full recovery.

ACL Tears

One of the most prevalent and disruptive injuries in sports is the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. This injury often requires immediate attention and specialized treatment. Our sports medicine specialists are well-versed in the diagnosis and management of ACL tears, offering both surgical and non-surgical options to restore stability and agility.

Hamstring Injuries

Hamstring injuries can be debilitating for athletes. These issues can range from minor strains to more severe tears. Our team of sports medicine doctors at Princeton Orthopaedic Associates is skilled in assessing the extent of hamstring injuries and formulating customized treatment plans, which may include physical therapy, rest, or, in certain cases, surgical intervention.

Meniscus Tears 

Meniscus tears are a common injury among athletes, affecting the cartilage in the knee joint. Our sports medicine specialists are adept at diagnosing and treating meniscus tears, utilizing both arthroscopic procedures and non-surgical interventions to restore knee health.
