Sports Traumatology and Medicine. As a sub-discipline of sports orthopedics, sports traumatology specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and degenerative diseases resulting from sports activities. This particular discipline, not only helps professional athletes, but also recreational athletes to get better after a injury takes place.
The aim of sports traumatology is to enable patients to continue practicing their sport.

The most frequent type of sports injury in the field of sports traumatology is actually injuries to the joints.

Excessive joint degeneration (arthrosis) is also frequently observed in some patients.
At 70%, the legs are most frequently affected by these injuries.

In the knee area

* Jumping out of the kneecap (patellar luxation),
* Arthrosis of the knee joints

In the shoulder
* Dislocation of the shoulder joint,
* Shoulder instabilities,
* Rupture of the rotator cuff
