Sports injuries refer to physical injuries that occur during sports activities and
typically affect structures such as muscles, bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments.
While participating in sports provides numerous health benefits, athletes can sometimes
experience injuries. Sports injuries can result from the stress, trauma, or repetitive
movements involved in sports.
There are various types of sports injuries, and the risk of injury varies across
different sports. Here are some common sports injuries:
Sprains occur when the ligaments surrounding a joint are stretched or torn. Ankle, knee, and wrist sprains are commonly seen. These injuries can result from sudden movements, falls, or collisions. Symptoms of sprains include pain, swelling, limited range of motion, and sometimes bruising.
Strains occur when muscles are stretched or overstretched, leading to muscle pain or tearing. Runner's knee, muscle spasms, and muscle tears fall under this category. Strains can cause pain, muscle weakness, and visible swelling.
Meniscus injuries involve tears or damage to the cartilage in the knee joint. The menisci provide stability to the knee. These injuries can occur from sudden twisting or excessive bending of the knee. Symptoms include knee pain, swelling, limited movement, and even locking of the knee.
Tendinitis refers to inflammation or damage to tendons. It can result from overuse, repetitive movements, or trauma. Various types of tendinitis include tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, Achilles tendinitis, and rotator cuff tendinitis. Symptoms include pain, tenderness, and limited range of motion.
Fractures occur when a bone cracks or breaks. Falls, collisions, or excessive stress during sports activities can lead to fractures. Fractures cause pain, swelling, limited movement, and sometimes deformity. These injuries may require immediate medical attention and treatment options such as immobilization (splints, casts), surgery, and rehabilitation.
Surface injuries involve cuts, lacerations, abrasions, and wound infections. They can result from contact, impact, or friction during sports activities. Surface injuries are characterized by bleeding, pain, redness, swelling, and signs of infection. Treatment may involve cleaning, sterilization, sutures, wound care, and, if necessary, antibiotic therapy.
Ligament injuries occur when ligaments are stretched, torn, or ruptured. Ligament injuries are commonly seen in the knee, ankle, and wrist. They can result from sudden movements, falls, or collisions. Symptoms include pain, swelling, limited range of motion, and a feeling of joint instability. Treatment options may include rest, compression, elevation, physical therapy, and, in some cases, surgery.
The treatment of sports injuries varies depending on the type, severity, and individual condition. Treatment typically involves rest, ice application, compression, elevation, pain relievers, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and sometimes surgical intervention. The goal of treatment is to accelerate the healing process, achieve functional recovery, and prevent re-injury. Each sports injury should be evaluated individually, and a healthcare professional should determine the appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Sports injuries usually occur as a result of the stress, trauma, or repetitive movements that athletes are exposed to. Factors such as sudden movements, falls, collisions, excessive exertion, inadequate warm-up, and overuse can contribute to injuries.
Contact sports and high-speed sports generally have a higher risk of injury. Sports such as football, basketball, rugby, hockey, and volleyball are among those with a higher risk of injury.
Taking preventive measures is important in preventing injuries. These include proper warm-up and stretching routines, using appropriate equipment, learning proper technique, allowing for adequate rest and recovery periods, and gradually and controlledly increasing exercise programs.
The recovery process for an injury varies from person to person. You can return to sports activities after complete healing, following the guidance of your doctor or physical therapist.
Sports injuries can occur in any age group, but young athletes, teenagers, and young adults typically have a higher risk of injury. These age groups may be more vulnerable due to their still-developing bone, muscle, and joint structures.

I had surgeries on both of my feet. The surgery was challenging, and after extensive research, I decided to have the operation with Dr. Burak Önvural. It was the right decision. Dr. Burak and his team are very attentive, kind, and warm-hearted. They provided me with great support in every aspect. My treatment process is still ongoing. I am so glad to have met Dr. Burak Önvural. You can trust him blindly.
I had hallux valgus, a bunion on my foot, for years. Especially on my right foot, it had progressed to a point where my big toe was overlapping the other toes. After conducting research, I found Dr. Burak Önvural.
We met Dr. Burak 15 days ago when we made the decision for anterior cruciate ligament surgery. He is an expert in his field and very warm-hearted, understanding the patient's psychology very well. He has a great team, and we can be sure that we will be satisfied with the care and attention even after the surgery.
Hello, as an athlete, I have experienced various injuries, and in every injury, my brother Burak ÖNVURAL has been the one to heal me quickly and in a healthy way. I am very grateful to him. He is both very caring towards his patients and also very competent in his profession. 🙏
When I hear the name 'Dr. Burak Önvural,' such a sense of trust fills me that I simply say 'okay' and lean back, following his advice. Both his profession and character are indisputably exceptional for us. For a patient, the most important aspect is trust in their doctor, and as a family, we have that trust in Dr. Burak forever. My dear doctor, who successfully performed most of my mother's surgeries, thank you for being in our lives.
Everything is perfect. Mr. Burak's attention is excellent, and there is a serious interest and care in the clinic. My wife had been experiencing arm pain for over 2 years, and we researched extensively. Thanks to Mr. Burak's treatment, it was very beneficial. I thank him very much, and may God protect such good-hearted people.
Dr. Burak Önvural is the best physician I have known, not only for his scientific knowledge and surgical skills but also for his compassionate care and dedication to his patients.
Truly an amazing doctor, he took his time to explain everything, very compassionate and understanding, he took his time and he performed minor surgery on my thumb, I am very fortunate to have met doctor Burak
I am pleased to highly recommend Dr.Burak without reservation. He is clearly an accomplished Orthopedic surgeon but also 100% committed to provide a full service with his team. Their attention to detail ensured that I had a successful hip replacement with the minimum of discomfort and a quick recovery. The ‘after care’ was second to none.
