Sports surgery is a specialized branch of orthopedics focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries encountered by athletes. This field addresses both traumatic injuries and problems arising from overuse. Sports surgery is not only for professional athletes but also serves individuals who lead an active lifestyle. This increasingly widespread field offers more effective and faster solutions thanks to advancing technology.
Healme Clinic is one of the trusted healthcare centers where both amateur and professional athletes seek care, with its team of physicians specialized in sports surgery and its advanced diagnostic and treatment capabilities. The clinic takes a holistic approach to athlete health, meticulously managing every step from treatment to rehabilitation.
The main goal of sports surgery is to return the patient to an active lifestyle as quickly as possible and to prevent recurrence of the same injury. Through surgical and non-surgical methods, both the repair of anatomical structures and the restoration of functionality are achieved. The objective is not only to heal but also to maintain the athlete's performance during the treatment process.
At Healme Clinic, personalized treatment plans are created in line with this goal, and the athlete's physical, functional, and psychological recovery is supported through a multidisciplinary approach.
The anterior cruciate ligament is located within the knee and is one of the most important structures providing joint stability. It can tear during sudden stops, changes in direction, or jumping movements. This type of injury is commonly seen in sports like football, basketball, and skiing, and may negatively impact an athlete's career.
Healme Clinic successfully performs ACL reconstructions using arthroscopic surgical techniques. Thanks to the physical therapy programs applied, patients return to sports in a shorter time while preserving their functional performance.
The menisci are cartilage-like structures in the knee joint that act as shock absorbers. They can tear due to twisting, sprains, or overloading. Athletes may experience symptoms such as pain, locking, and limited movement. MRI imaging is frequently used in diagnosis.
At Healme Clinic, arthroscopic techniques are used to treat meniscus tears. Depending on the location and pattern of the tear, the meniscus may be repaired or partially removed.
The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body and, therefore, among the most commonly injured areas in athletes. Labral tears, rotator cuff tears, and recurrent shoulder dislocations are common in sports like swimming, volleyball, weightlifting, and baseball.
In shoulder injuries, both surgical and conservative treatments are important. At Healme Clinic, the most appropriate treatment option is determined after patient evaluation, and a well-planned treatment process is followed.
The Achilles tendon is a strong structure that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It can tear due to overuse in sports involving running and jumping. While complete ruptures often require surgical repair, minor tears can be treated conservatively.
Healme Clinic uses minimally invasive techniques in Achilles tendon surgery, which helps shorten recovery time and reduce complication rates. The rehabilitation process is supported with personalized programs.
Muscle tears, ligament sprains, and tendinitis are also common in athletes. These injuries often heal with conservative treatment, but good rehabilitation is essential to prevent recurrence.
At Healme Clinic, these injuries are managed with a combination of tailored exercise programs, manual therapy, and sports physiotherapy.
Arthroscopy is an essential part of modern sports surgery. It is a minimally invasive procedure performed using a camera inserted through small incisions. This technique allows for both diagnosis and treatment with minimal tissue damage, resulting in faster recovery.
At Healme Clinic, arthroscopic procedures are successfully performed on joints such as the shoulder, knee, ankle, and hip. This enables patients to be treated with minimal pain and a short hospital stay.
In some cases, open surgery is necessary. Large ligament tears, multiple joint injuries, or corrective procedures following unsuccessful previous surgeries are managed using open techniques. Tendon transfers and ligament reconstructions fall under this category.
Healme Clinic also uses modern techniques in open surgeries, ensuring the best possible functional outcomes for patients.
Sports surgery is not limited to the operation itself. The rehabilitation process after surgery is a crucial step for recovery. Professional physical therapy is required to restore muscle strength, joint range of motion, and coordination.
At Healme Clinic, personalized rehabilitation programs are planned for each patient and carried out by physiotherapists and sports medicine specialists. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that athletes return to sports safely and healthily.
The decision for an athlete to return to sport is based not only on the absence of pain but also on functional tests and biomechanical analyses. To prevent re-injury, loading is increased gradually and under control.
Healme Clinic uses biomechanical analysis systems, motion evaluation devices, and conditioning tests to make data-driven decisions during the return-to-sport process.
Healme Clinic stands out with its expert physicians in sports surgery, advanced technology infrastructure, and patient-centered approach. The clinic achieves high success rates in common athlete injuries such as knee, shoulder, ankle, hip, and elbow problems.
Advanced imaging techniques (MRI, ultrasound, CT) are used in the diagnostic process, while personalized treatment plans are created, and post-surgery follow-up is conducted meticulously. The rehabilitation unit is equipped with devices specific to athlete health and offers individualized exercise programs for every patient.
In addition, Healme Clinic collaborates with professional teams and individual athletes, playing an active role in performance enhancement and injury prevention.
Sports surgery is of great importance in preserving the quality of life for active individuals and enabling athletes to continue their careers in a healthy manner. Accurate diagnosis, timely intervention, and effective rehabilitation are the keys to successful treatment. Healme Clinic stands by its patients at every stage of this process, offering high-standard healthcare services by combining up-to-date medical approaches with an experienced team.
