Common surgical procedures we perform to treat sports injuries include:
Non-surgical treatment options include:
Corticosteroid Injections
Injectable cortisone is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication, a synthetically produced steroid that lasts for a longer period of time than the cortisone your body naturally produces. It is injected directly into joints such as shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees and ankles to decrease inflammation, which can subsequently decrease pain. Cortisone injections usually work within a few days, and the effects can last up to several weeks.
Viscosupplementation therapy is an appropriate treatment for people with knee arthritis that has failed to respond to more conservative therapy. At Coastal Orthopedics & Sports Medicine / Pain Management, we use an injection of hyaluronic acid called Orthovisc® for viscosupplementation.
Orthovisc is injected directly into the knee joint to restore the cushioning and lubricating properties of normal joint fluid. It is useful for people who are trying to delay surgery or are not candidates for knee replacement surgery. Orthovisc injections are typically given weekly for 3 or 4 weeks.
