Sports Injuries in KPK — ACL, Meniscus, Shoulder: A Surgeon’s Guide

Sports injuries are increasingly common across KPK — from cricket and football to weightlifting and martial arts. This guide covers the most frequently seen injuries and explains when surgery is the right choice.

ACL and PCL Tears

Typically require arthroscopic reconstruction in active patients. Minimally invasive surgery restores full stability. Return to sport 6–9 months post-surgery.

Meniscus Tears

May be repaired arthroscopically or managed conservatively depending on tear pattern, size, and patient age. Preservation of meniscus wherever possible reduces long-term arthritis risk.

Rotator Cuff Tears

Repaired arthroscopically when causing significant pain and functional limitation. Most patients regain full function within 4–6 months.

Shoulder Dislocations

Stabilization surgery recommended after second dislocation in active patients. Latarjet procedure for cases with bone loss.
