When can my daughter play sports again?
Cast is not indicated for shoulder dislocation. She would be in some sort of sling for a few weeks and then lots of physical therapy. She is looking at 6-8weeks before returning to contact sports. But keep in mind, she now has an increased risk of recurrent shoulder dislocation without surgical stabilization. READ MORE
My son has dislocated his shoulder twice from playing baseball. Will this have an effect on him in the future?
Once the shoulder dislocates, there is a high likelihood of recurrent shoulder dislocations in the future, especially in young individuals. If he had two dislocations, I would advise considering a shoulder stabilization surgery, so he can return to sports. READ MORE
Is a hip replacement a major operation?
Hip replacement is not a surgery performed on 17 year old. I think you are mistaken. READ MORE
Should PT be recommended in any sport for any age?
You would benefit by working with a fitness trainer or athletic trainer. I do not see the need to work with a sports medicine specialist. Take care! READ MORE
How do you fix a torn ACL?
ACL is generally not repaired but new ACL is reconstructed using your own hamstring tendon or other tendons in your body. Sometimes tendon harvested from a cadaver, also known as allograft is used. Wishing you a speedy recovery. READ MORE
