Common Sports Injuries and Treatments
Sports surgery can help to repair damaged soft tissue as well as realign bones and joints. Not all injuries, however, necessitate surgery. Our sports medicine doctor in Dubai will treat the following physical activity-related injuries:
- Ankle sprains: Occur when ligaments are stretched beyond their limits.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons.
- Bursitis of the Hip: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs.
- Fractures: Broken bones requiring stabilization.
- Cartilage damage: Often treated with keyhole surgery.
- Muscle strain: Tears or stretches in muscle fibers.
- Concussion: Traumatic brain injury from physical activity.
The Role of Arthroscopy
Keyhole surgery is used to treat many sports injuries. The sports surgeons make a small incision and use a tiny camera to guide them through the procedure. This type of surgery, known as arthroscopy, is most commonly used for knee injuries. Following surgery on an affected joint, muscle, or soft tissue, most injuries necessitate a lengthy period of rest. Physiotherapy is used to re-establish strength and increase the range of motion around a joint or muscle.
Orthognathic Surgery: Correcting Jaw Irregularities
Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a specialized surgical procedure aimed at correcting irregularities in the jawbone and facial structure. This surgery is often necessary for individuals with jaw alignment issues that affect their oral function and facial aesthetics. Orthognathic surgery involves repositioning the upper and/or lower jaw to improve alignment and function.
Types of Orthognathic Procedures
Orthognathic surgery can be categorized into several types, depending on the specific corrections needed:
- Maxillary Osteotomy: This procedure involves repositioning the upper jaw (maxilla) to improve alignment with the lower jaw. It can correct issues related to overbites and underbites.
- Mandibular Osteotomy: This surgery focuses on the lower jaw (mandible) and is often performed to correct underbites or improve jaw symmetry.
- Bimaxillary Surgery: In cases where both the upper and lower jaws require correction, bimaxillary surgery is performed, repositioning both jaws simultaneously.
- Genioplasty: This procedure involves repositioning the chin to enhance facial harmony and improve jaw function.
- Distraction Osteogenesis: A technique used to gradually lengthen the jawbone, often utilized in cases of significant jaw deficiency.
The following table outlines the key conditions treated by our oral and maxillofacial surgeons:
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| Jaw asymmetry | Uneven jaw structures that create facial imbalances. |
| Overbite or underbite | Conditions where the upper or lower teeth significantly overlap. |
| Open bite | A gap between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed. |
| Facial trauma | Injuries that result in misaligned jaws or facial structures. |
Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery
American Hospital Dubai gives new hope to patients by performing knee replacement surgery successfully using the latest ROSA Robotic Knee Replacement System.
