If sports injuries are keeping you from returning to the field, the court or
the pool and non-surgical treatments have not helped, orthopedic surgery may be
the answer. At Kaweah Delta Medical Center, orthopedic surgeons care for
sports-related injuries including fractures and more, whether they involve the
elbow, hip, shoulder or ankle injuries.

After Surgery
After every surgery, recovery and rehabilitation are important steps for
every patient to take. At Kaweah Delta, patients will work their orthopedic
surgeon and staff members at Kaweah Delta Rehabilitation Therapy Services to
begin an exercise program that will help them regain range of motion and return
to their favorite activities.
