Get Back to What You Love With Orthopedic Surgery & Sports Medicine at NCSH

At NCSH, patients can expect comprehensive care for a wide range of sports-related injuries and conditions. Whether you’re dealing with a torn ligament, a muscle strain, a stress fracture, chronic pain, stiffness and reduced range of motion, or pain that interferes with daily activities, our orthopedic sports surgeons are equipped to provide expert diagnosis and treatment options tailored to your specific needs that primary care physicians may not have the expertise to treat.

As a hospital for special surgery sports medicine, our areas of expertise include:

• Shoulder injuries, including fractured clavicle, rotator cuff tear, and shoulder instability repairs
• Hip injuries, including labral tear repair
• Arm injuries, including rotator cuff tear and tennis elbow repair
• Knee injuries, including ACL and meniscus tear repair

Regardless of the injury, before undergoing orthopedic sports medicine surgery at NCSH, preparing yourself physically and mentally for the procedure and recovery process is crucial for success. Here are seven key steps to consider:

1. Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a sports surgeon at NCSH to discuss your condition, treatment options, and surgical plan. Ask any questions you may have about the procedure and what to expect during recovery.
2. Nonsurgical Treatments: In some cases, surgery may not be necessary for sports-related injuries. Your sports medicine doctor may recommend nonsurgical treatments such as physical therapy, bracing, or injections to help manage your symptoms and improve your condition.
3. Pre-Surgery Preparation: Follow your surgeon’s instructions for pre-surgery preparation, which may include fasting before the procedure, stopping certain medications, and avoiding smoking or alcohol. Prepare your home for post-surgery recovery, including setting up a comfortable space and arranging for any necessary medical equipment.
4. Surgery: Many sports surgeries are handled on an outpatient basis, meaning you can return home afterward. NCSH is not only an award-winning specialty hospital for outpatient surgery but also accommodates inpatient stays. We are well-known for our excellent medical treatment and comfortable, compassionate patient care, no matter the length of your visit with us.
5. Recovery Timeline: Understand the expected recovery timeline for your specific surgery, including postoperative care instructions and physical therapy requirements your doctor may provide. This will include estimates of how much time you may need to take off from work or school.
6. Postoperative Care: Following your surgeon’s postoperative care instructions is essential for your recovery after surgery. These may include wound care, pain management, and activity restrictions.
7. Exercises: Your team will provide a step-by-step guide for postoperative exercises tailored to your specific surgery and rehabilitation needs. These exercises are designed to help you regain:

• Strength
• Flexibility
• Function in the affected area while minimizing the risk of complications

Understanding and planning for these seven steps will go a long way toward getting you back to living the life and activities you love.

However, the following comment from Brent means just as much or more to us at NCSH.

Brent is an athletic trainer at Wakefield High School, where EmergeOrtho is the team physician. Brent not only works closely with Dr. Shepherd Rosenblum for his team’s care, but Dr. Rosenblum also treated Brent when he recently injured his shoulder skiing. “The fact that I’ve worked with him for so many years and seen the patients he has performed surgery on, I wasn’t concerned at all, ” Brent shares. “It made no sense after seeing the work he has done on our own athletes for me to go anywhere else …The recovery has been amazing.”
