Common Questions

What is return to sport surgery?
Return to sport surgery refers to orthopedic procedures performed with the specific goal of restoring an athlete's ability to compete. This includes surgeries on the knee, shoulder, and other joints that have been damaged by acute injuries or overuse. The treatment plan is built around your activity level and sport, not just pain relief.
How do I know if I need surgery or if a non-surgical treatment will work?
Dr. Ayzenberg evaluates each patient individually. Many knee and shoulder conditions respond well to non-surgical care like physical therapy, injections, or PRP therapy. If imaging and your symptoms point to a structural problem that won't heal on its own, he'll explain exactly why surgery is the better path.
How long does recovery take after return to sport surgery in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania?
Recovery timelines vary depending on the procedure and your sport. An ACL reconstruction typically takes six to nine months before full return to play. Shoulder surgeries can range from three to six months. Dr. Ayzenberg gives you a realistic timeline at your first visit and adjusts the plan based on how your recovery progresses.
