Overview

The Sports Medicine unit at Baby Memorial Hospital offers specialised care for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries and musculoskeletal conditions. The department caters to athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and active individuals of all ages, ensuring a safe return to sport and optimal performance.

The team provides expert management for ligament injuries, tendon and cartilage damage, joint instability, and overuse syndromes affecting the knee, shoulder, ankle, elbow, and other joints. Minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques are commonly used for procedures such as ligament reconstruction, cartilage repair, and shoulder stabilisation, allowing for faster recovery and minimal disruption to daily activities.

A comprehensive Sports Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy Unit supports each patient’s journey from injury to full performance. Rehabilitation services are tailored to individual goals and include kinesiology taping, splinting, fitness assessments, customised exercise plans, and performance enhancement strategies. The department works closely with national sports organisations, including the Sports Authority of India and the USHA School of Athletics, to deliver ongoing care and injury prevention for professional and developing athletes.

The unit is supported by experienced orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine specialists, physiotherapists, and exercise therapists who work collaboratively to provide integrated, evidence-based care. Fellowship programmes in Arthroscopy and Sports Injuries further strengthen the department’s commitment to clinical excellence, research, and education in the field of sports medicine.
