Hospital officials say the center offers high-tech strategies to heal injured bones, muscles, ligaments and joints.
“For Brooklynites who hurt themselves playing the sports they love, just getting better isn’t always enough, because they expect to be as good as new or even better than before,” said Matthew Wert, MD, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in orthopedic sports medicine, as well as cartilage repair. “The same techniques that we use on world-class athletes are now available to them.”
Along with treating common sports-related injuries, center officials tout innovative therapies in ACL reconstruction, knee replacement and cartilage restoration.
