Arthroscopy is the key to minimally invasive interventions for sports trauma. Recent advancements in skills and technology have allowed significant developments in this area, driving arthroscopy to the forefront of surgical development in sports traumatology.

 

Rehabilitation is an integral part of the overall management of sports trauma. It entails a comprehensive program of treatment with the allied health professionals, performance optimization, preventive measures and outcome evaluation.

 

Technology is of vital importance to biomechanical and biological research areas of arthroplasty and sports medicine, allowing new ideas to be tested, developed and applied in the field.
