Very few Sports injuries need surgical treatment,
while most of the injuries are caused due to overuse, overload and due to faculty
technique of sports. Early identification and treatment of Knee ligament
injuries not only restores the joint but can prevent degeneration of the joint

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Gleneagles Global Health City.

spearheading sports injury care for the last 6 years and it has been the venue
medical partner to provide sports injury service for events like Indian Super
League football, Pro-Volleyball, Pro-Kabaddi, and Badminton events. Providing venue medical
care demands a number of ambulances, multiple teams of doctors, paramedical and
nursing staff. Being a structured and dedicated medical institution, Gleneagles
Global Health City has been successful in providing exceptional care during
these mega sports events. 💥💥
