Published: 12:49 pm, Tue December 2, 2025

How We Recommend Preparing For Joint Replacement Surgery

Whether you’re a competitive athlete or an active adult, sports-related injuries can keep you from the activities you love. Lancaster Orthopedic Group (LOG) brings today’s most advanced sports medicine techniques to Lancaster County, helping patients recover faster, move better, and return to activity confidently.

✂️ Minimally Invasive Procedures: Faster, Safer, More Precise

Many sports injuries that once required large incisions and lengthy recovery can now be treated with minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery. This approach offers:

  • Smaller incisions and less tissue disruption
  • Reduced postoperative pain
  • Faster recovery and return to activity
  • More precise repairs of ligaments, tendons, and cartilage

LOG’s fellowship-trained sports medicine surgeons, Dr. Perezous, Dr. Campbell, Dr.Long, and Dr. Troxell, use these techniques for ACL tears, rotator cuff repairs, labral tears, meniscus injuries, and more.

????️ New Technology Enhancing Sports Injury Diagnosis and Treatment

Advanced technology allows us to diagnose and treat injuries with exceptional accuracy. Tools include:

  • High-resolution MRI and X-ray imaging

  • Ultrasound-guided injections

  • Digital motion analysis to assess running or throwing mechanics
  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for select injuries

These innovations help tailor care to each athlete’s sport, position, and performance goals.

???? Faster Rehabilitation and Return-to-Sport Protocols

Rehabilitation is where recovery truly happens. LOG’s physical therapists provide:

  • Sport-specific rehab programs
  • Strength, balance, and neuromuscular training
  • Return-to-sport testing for readiness
  • Education to prevent re-injury
  • Support for endurance athletes, runners, and high-impact athletes

On-site physical therapy ensures streamlined communication between providers and better outcomes.
