Sports injuries can involve muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and joints. The NIAMS sports injury guidance explains common acute and overuse injuries as well as established approaches to rehabilitation and treatment.
Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Care Approach
Sports medicine is not limited to competitive athletes. Shoulder or knee injuries can occur during recreational exercise, work, repetitive activity, or everyday accidents.
Evaluation may include a physical examination, review of how an injury occurred, assessment of joint stability and movement, X-rays, or MRI when soft-tissue structures need closer evaluation.
Dr. Wyatt’s fellowship training specifically included advanced experience in shoulder and knee arthroscopy. His current OrthoArkansas practice also includes stabilization procedures and treatment of sports injuries in younger patients.
Not every injury requires surgery. Depending on the diagnosis and severity, initial treatment may involve activity modification, physical therapy, medication, bracing, rehabilitation, or monitoring.
Joint Replacement and Arthroscopy
Dr. Wyatt also treats degenerative knee and shoulder conditions that may gradually reduce mobility and interfere with normal activities.
Osteoarthritis can cause progressive pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of joint movement. The NIAMS osteoarthritis guide explains that knees are among the joints commonly affected and that treatment depends on symptoms, joint damage, and functional limitations.
For selected patients, Dr. Wyatt performs partial and total knee replacement as well as shoulder replacement. His current practice also lists MAKO robotic-arm assisted surgery.
Joint replacement is generally considered only after assessing symptoms, imaging, mobility, previous treatment, overall health, and the extent to which joint disease affects daily activities.
