Brian Sennett, MD, an orthopaedic surgeon, discusses how doctors at Penn Orthopaedics are at the forefront of research in athletic injuries and recovery.
The orthopaedic specialists at the Penn Sports Medicine Center in Philadelphia, PA, are specially trained in the field of sports medicine. Their goal is to help patients return to normal activities as quickly as possible with the most appropriate treatment and rehabilitation for their particular sports injury.
Orthopaedic specialists at the Center employ a multidisciplinary approach to provide an individualized treatment plan for each patient. Patients benefit from the convenience of visiting multiple specialists, including orthopaedic surgeons, physiatrists (rehabilitation medicine physicians), and physical therapists in one easily accessible location.
Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures
The Penn Sports Medicine team specializes in the latest minimally invasive procedures. Arthroscopy, a key sports medicine procedure, is a minimally invasive method in which a fiberoptic camera is introduced into a joint, enabling surgeons to watch their movements on a TV monitor while operating through small incisions. This type of minimally invasive surgery benefits patients because it results in minimal scarring, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster recovery.
