Sports and Ligament Injury Treatment in Dhaka
Dr. AKM Mohiuddin treats sports and ligament injuries at Surecell Medical, Gulshan-1, Dhaka, using PRP therapy and stem cell therapy to support healing and recovery.
What Are Sports and Ligament Injuries?
Sports and ligament injuries happen when a ligament, joint, or muscle is stretched, torn, or overloaded during physical activity. This page covers ACL, MCL, and LCL injuries, meniscus tears, ankle sprains, and hamstring injuries.
Symptoms of Sports and Ligament Injuries
Symptoms depend on which structure is injured, but often include the following.
Pain and swelling shortly after the injury A feeling of the joint giving way or feeling unstable, especially with ACL injuries Limited range of motion Bruising around the injured area Difficulty bearing weight on the affected leg
How Dr. AKM Mohiuddin Treats Sports and Ligament Injuries
Dr. Mohiuddin treats sports and ligament injuries using PRP therapy and stem cell therapy, chosen based on which structure is injured and how severe the injury is.
His primary PRP technique is PA-PRP, used to support healing in ligaments, meniscus tissue, and muscle. For more significant injuries, he uses stem cell therapy to support tissue repair.
ACL, MCL, and LCL Injuries
These ligaments stabilize the knee, and injuries range from mild sprains to complete tears. PRP therapy is used to support healing in partial tears and sprains, with treatment approach depending on the grade of the injury.
Meniscus Tears
The meniscus cushions the knee joint, and tears are common in both sports injuries and gradual wear. PRP therapy is used to support healing in appropriately selected meniscus tears, depending on the tear pattern and location.
Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains involve stretching or tearing the ligaments around the ankle. Most respond to conservative treatment, but PRP therapy can support healing in more significant or recurring sprains.
Hamstring Injuries
Hamstring injuries range from mild strains to more significant tears, common in sports involving running or sudden acceleration. PRP therapy is used to support muscle healing and reduce recovery time in appropriately selected cases.
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment starts with a clinical assessment, including a physical examination and imaging such as MRI where needed, to confirm which structure is injured and how severe the injury is.
Based on this assessment, Dr. Mohiuddin discusses whether PRP therapy, stem cell therapy, or a combination fits your injury, then walks through the treatment plan and expected recovery timeline.
Is Treatment Right for You?
Treatment suitability depends on which structure is injured, the grade or severity of the injury, and your activity goals. Some injuries, particularly complete ligament tears, may still require surgical treatment.
A clinical assessment is the only way to know which treatment approach applies to your specific injury.
QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the treatment for a torn ACL without surgery?
For partial ACL tears or sprains, PRP therapy can be used to support healing without surgery. Complete ACL tears, particularly in patients who want to return to high-demand sports, often still require surgical reconstruction.
Can PRP help a meniscus tear heal?
PRP therapy is used to support healing in appropriately selected meniscus tears, depending on the tear pattern, location, and severity. Not all meniscus tears are suitable candidates for this approach.
How long does it take to recover from a ligament injury with PRP or stem cell therapy?
Recovery time varies by the specific injury, its severity, and the individual patient. A clinical assessment is needed to give a realistic recovery timeline for your case.
Is stem cell therapy better than PRP for sports injuries?
Neither is universally better. PRP therapy is often used first for ligament, meniscus, and muscle injuries, with stem cell therapy considered for more significant tissue damage. Dr. Mohiuddin recommends an approach based on your specific injury.
