FAQs: Sports-Related Injuries

When should I see a sports medicine surgeon instead of just resting?

If pain, swelling, or instability doesn’t improve after several days of rest, or if you experience a sudden injury with popping, locking, or loss of function, it’s important to seek evaluation.

Do all sports injuries require surgery?

No. Many injuries can be treated with therapy, bracing, or activity modification. Surgery is only recommended if non-surgical care is unlikely to restore full function.

How long is recovery after sports surgery?

It depends on the injury and procedure. For example, meniscus repair recovery may take 3–4 months, while ACL reconstruction may take 6–9 months before returning to full sports.

Can younger athletes (teens) undergo arthroscopy or ligament reconstruction?

Yes. Dr. Boes frequently treats high school and college athletes with minimally invasive procedures designed to protect long-term joint health.

Do you provide return-to-play clearance?

Yes. Dr. Boes works closely with athletes, coaches, and therapists to ensure a safe, confident return to training and competition.
