A variety of injuries and disorders can occur as a result of athletic activities. Some of the most common conditions that Dr. Distefano treats are seen on the right hand side.

Sports Medicine

Sports are among the most popular past-time activities for men and women of all ages from professional athletes to recreational participants. These activities can result in a variety of injuries that can sideline people at all different levels of play.

Sports Medicine is a specialized field that evaluates and treats sports-related injuries to facilitate a rapid return to physical activity.

Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is often utilized to treat conditions that require surgery over other sport injury surgery methods because it is minimally invasive. This type of surgery uses an arthroscope, which is a fiber-optic camera that is inserted into the injury site through a small incision.

Arthroscopic procedures often involve fewer complications with a faster recovery and can even be performed as an outpatient procedure because it is less invasive than open surgical techniques.
