Riverside, California (September 10, 2013) – Dr. Wade Faerber, DO is offering orthopedic surgery for athletes who are experiencing severe sports injuries. These types of injuries affect parts of the body that they regularly use in their sport, like the muscles, bones, ligaments, joints, cartilage, and tendons.

While common sprains and muscle strains respond well to therapy and rehabilitation, there are other severe cases that would require the skills of and experienced orthopedic surgeon. For instance, most injuries on the cruciate ligaments of the knee need a surgery. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, in particular, are common in sports. They often occur when the ligament is subject to direct impact or suddenly twisted, causing the leg to buckle when the person tries to stand up.

If this happens, the torn ligament needs to be reconstructed. With extensive background in orthopedic surgery, internal medicine, and sports medicine, Dr. Faerber has helped thousands of patients who have shown impressive improvement. Once he confirms that the patient needs surgery through an MRI, he will discuss several surgical options, such as replacing the ligament with one of their tendons.

Aside from ACL reconstructive surgery, Dr. Faerber offers other orthopedic procedures. If the meniscus or the cartilage supporting the bones of the knee experience a tear, he will conduct surgery to reattach, replace, or remove them. Likewise, he will operate on a ruptured Achilles tendon, which is found on the posterior of the leg and attaches the calf to the heel bone. Experienced in handling a wide array of sports injuries, Dr. Faerber will give helpful advice on the proper course of action for the patient's recovery.
