Arthroscopy and sports-injury surgery assessment
Review whether an injury needs further rehabilitation, an operation or another approach.
Chat on WhatsAppWhat the assessment considers
A specialist compares examination findings with the injury mechanism, imaging and response to rehabilitation. Repair, reconstruction and removal of damaged tissue are different procedures with different recovery implications.
Records for the assessment
Bring original MRI images and relevant X-rays of the injured joint. Also include injury dates, instability or locking episodes and activity goals.
Questions for the clinical team
Ask what an operation would address that rehabilitation alone may not resolve. Discuss weight-bearing or movement restrictions and the criteria used for returning to work or sport.
Confirming care and arrangements
The platform cannot determine that surgery is necessary or promise a rapid return to sport. The surgeon and rehabilitation team should confirm postoperative support, follow-up and the timing of travel.
Records to prepare
- Original MRI images and relevant X-rays of the injured joint
- Injury dates, instability or locking episodes and activity goals
- Physiotherapy records and details of any previous operation
Questions for your clinician
- What is the reason for recommending surgery in my particular injury?
- Which milestones would guide progression of rehabilitation and travel?
