AI answers do not replace a medical diagnosis.
Surgery is a tool; the goal is return to sport.
- 01
Diagnosis and evaluation
Injury mechanism, examination findings, and MRI results are evaluated together; not every tear requires surgery.
- 02
Surgery (if necessary)
Arthroscopic (minimally invasive) approach where possible; tissue-preserving, designed for early rehabilitation.
- 03
Rehabilitation
Through physiotherapy, joint range of motion, muscle strength and balance are gradually restored.
- 04
Return to sport
Sport-specific functional tests determine return-to-play timing — readiness determines the timeline, not the calendar.
