Sports Injuries and Work Injuries

The surgeons at Orthopaedic Physicians of Colorado diagnose and treat sports-related and work-related injuries to the hip or knee, shoulder, or the ankle or foot, including injuries due to overuse or improper use.

Work-related injuries to the spine are found in people who work with heavy machinery, for example. Cumulative trauma — carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis — can result from repetitive motion required by their jobs. People who use a computer keyboard and mouse at work are at risk if they don’t take precautions.

We treat:

• working people and professional athletes whose jobs and careers depend on their performance
• student-athletes who want to keep competing
• amateur athletes who participate in sports because they enjoy them and want to stay fit
• people who walk, run, or exercise to stay fit

Many sports injuries and work injuries involve:

• the hip or knee
• the shoulder
• the foot or ankle

Your orthopaedic surgeon will treat acute and chronic injuries to bones, joints and soft tissue that result from your work or from your participation in sports or exercise.
