Sports Traumatology of the Lower Extremities
- At ICATRECON, we manage acute trauma affecting the lower extremities, ranging from complex high-energy injuries involving soft tissues, skin coverage, and both simple and complex fractures, to ligament injuries of the knee, ankle, and foot.
We have extensive experience in acute or chronic muscle injuries of the lower extremities.
FRACTURES
At ICATRECON/ICATME, we use the most advanced imaging diagnostic systems to evaluate bone injuries, including 3D reconstructions, enabling the most detailed planning for reconstruction using the most advanced and appropriate osteosynthesis systems for each case.
Given the specific characteristics of athletes, whether they are high-performance professionals, amateurs, or occasional sports enthusiasts, treatments are designed to ensure the fastest possible return to both sports and work activities.

MUSCLE INJURIES
At ICATRECON, we treat conditions ranging from muscle contusion, contracture, elongation, and fibrillar tear to complete muscle rupture. After a thorough evaluation, we identify the type of injury and follow a protocolized treatment aimed at the fastest recovery.
- At ICATRECON, we also study the etiology of the injury to prevent recurrences or future injuries.
Through specific ultrasound, we locate the injury and, when necessary, evacuate the hematoma under visual control and apply local Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to accelerate healing.
TENDON INJURIES
- At ICATRECON, we have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating various types of tendon injuries, as well as addressing their causes.
We employ conservative treatments such as physiotherapy, kinesiotherapy, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, localized radiofrequency, and local infiltrations.
We also perform surgical repairs for acute or chronic injuries, addressing their underlying causes when necessary.
At ICATRECON, we use minimally invasive techniques along with local application of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) combined with tendon augmentation procedures.

STRESS FRACTURES OR OVERUSE INJURIES
- The diagnosis and treatment of these injuries—whether mechanical, metabolic, or sports-related—are meticulously studied to not only treat the injury but also correct its underlying cause.
At ICATRECON, we use combined diagnostic methods and perform biomechanical laboratory tests to gather comprehensive data on lower limb function during walking, single-leg load, and even the reproduction of sports movements.
KNEE LIGAMENT INJURIES
PSEUDOARTHROSIS
PERIPHERAL NEUROLOGICAL INJURIES
At ICATRECON, we have an in-house team of highly esteemed specialists in Neurophysiology and Electromyography to diagnose and evaluate peripheral neurological injuries.
- Decompressive or palliative surgical interventions, including tendon transpositions, can improve significant functional limitations in both lower and upper extremities.
Our ICATRECON team specializes in palliative interventions for peripheral neurological injuries affecting the lower extremities.
