The mission of the UConn Musculoskeletal Institute is to use basic science and clinical research to enhance the care of our patients. Our division of Sports Medicine, which is in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, has a particular interest in both basic science and clinical research. The human soft tissue laboratory focuses on understanding the biology of tendon, cartilage and other soft tissues in the body. The biomechanics research in the division is particularly interested in a bench to bedside approach. The scientist and clinicians assess the strength of different types of surgical repairs and use the information to develop new surgical techniques that can improve the results of surgical procedures. Finally, there is a strong commitment to clinical research. There are a number of retrospective and prospective studies in the division of sports medicine that evaluate the efficacy of various surgical procedures. The ultimate goal of our basic science and clinical research is to assess and to develop novel treatments for our patients to help them maintain an active lifestyle.

Led by James Voos, MD, Director and Head Team Physician for the Cleveland Browns, the multifaceted sports medicine program offers comprehensive specialty and subspecialty care throughout the UH system. All of our sports medicine services care available at multiple outpatient primary care clinics and physical therapy centers.

Starting with a proactive approach to injury prevention, UH Sports Medicine provides skilled expertise and knowledgeable resources. When sports-related injuries occur, our team brings this specially trained proficiency throughout the entire diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation process.

The sports medicine program at UH prides itself on providing patients of all ages with quality care, delivered by specialists and subspecialists who are fellowship-trained in sports medicine.

Isaiah's Story - Meniscus Transplant

Surgeons at UH Sports Medicine use a minimally invasive approach to treatment wherever possible. Many surgical techniques today are less invasive, and include the use of biologic implants instead of larger metal implants. The minimally invasive approach to procedures results in less pain, less bleeding and shorter recovery time, allowing athletes to get back in the game faster.

The most important thing we do at UH Sports Medicine is make accurate diagnoses. Getting a reliable medical diagnosis sets the timeline for the patients recovery, whether they just need physical therapy and rest, or if surgery and additional therapy are required. Recovery time may range from a few weeks for an ankle sprain, or up to several months for more serious injuries such as an ACL tear.

UH Sports Medicine has physicians who specialize in diagnostics and treatment of sports-related injuries, whatever the patients age. The UH sports medicine program has a pediatric component that treats children as young as toddlers; we also see active seniors who compete in triathlons or bike well into their 90s.

Sports medicine physicians at UH are integrating specialty programs such as concussion management into the more comprehensive program. This allows us to navigate through the entire UH system to find top specialists to see our patients. Learn more about our concussion management program.

Improving outcomes with advanced sports medicine techniques is achieved through our teams ongoing research focus. The ultimate goal of our research program is to advance clinical care through research excellence, investigation, cooperation and education. Experts at UH Sports Medicine lead many innovative studies, including:

Education is a significant part of what sports medicine doctors engage in at University Hospitals. Medical students, residents and fellows shadow the doctors and surgeons as they prepare to become the next leaders in sports medicine. In fact, all of the sports medicine orthopaedic physicians are fellowship-trained in sports medicine, with added qualification certificates in the sub-subspecialty of care of athletes.

Athletic trainers are the first line of defense for the prevention and evaluation of injuries during athletic activities. We offer a unique Athletic Training Outreach Program designed to keep you active. Our licensed athletic trainers provide healthcare services to athletes at practices, games, tournaments and community events in the Tampa Bay Area.

Athletic trainers are allied healthcare professionals who work with physicians on the medical staff to prevent, evaluate, manage and care for many different types of injuries.

We recognize that injuries can happen outside the typical workweek, which is we offer Saturday-morning and early afternoon clinics at our Orthopaedic Urgent Care in South Tampa. Please take advantage of this opportunity to receive medical care even if you attend a high school that is not under contract with us.

Research and education is at the forefront of the work we do. If youre interested in having one of our sports medicine physicians speak to your school group, coaching staff, or organization please contact:Donna Bossuyt, at DBossuyt@Floridaortho.com
