Sports Medicine
Sports Medicine is a medical specialty focused on athletes (amateurs and professionals) that provides diagnoses and treatments to help them return to sports practice with total safety and prevent future injuries.
The Hand, Elbow, and Microsurgery Unit works in close coordination with the Sports Medicine unit of ICATME (Institut Català de Traumatologia i Medicina de l’Esport), international experts in musculoskeletal diagnosis and treatment through ultrasound.
This collaboration ensures that in the case of any injury or trauma, it is diagnosed and treated in a personalized way so that our patients can resume their physical activity as soon as possible and in the best conditions, without risking their health.
Sports Medicine offers solutions to all the needs that arise from sports practice, through a multidisciplinary approach that covers traumatology, orthopedics, ultrasound, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation.
