Sports medicine and sports injury care in Secunderabad
A sports injury can stop you in a moment, but the right care gets you moving again. Dr. Arun Dev sees footballers, cricketers, kabaddi and badminton players, runners, gym-goers and weekend players, as well as anyone hurt in a fall or a sudden twist.
Many sports injuries get better with rest, a brace and physiotherapy. Others, such as a torn ACL, a torn meniscus, a torn rotator cuff or a shoulder that keeps dislocating, need key hole (arthroscopic) surgery to restore the joint. Dr. Arun examines you, checks your scans and explains which path suits your injury, your sport and your goals.
Getting the right treatment early protects the joint. An untreated ligament tear can lead to cartilage damage and early arthritis. Patients from Secunderabad, Kompally, Alwal and across Hyderabad see Dr. Arun at Renova Hospital for diagnosis, treatment and a planned return to play.

How your sports injury is treated
Every plan starts with understanding the injury and what you want to get back to.
- Examination. Dr. Arun asks how the injury happened and examines the joint for swelling, stability and movement.
- Scans. An X-ray and, when needed, an MRI scan show the ligaments, cartilage and tendons.
- A clear plan. You hear whether rest, a brace, physiotherapy, an injection or key hole surgery suits your injury, and why.
- Treatment. If surgery is needed, it is usually done through key hole (arthroscopic) surgery at Renova Hospital, Kompally.
- Rehabilitation. A stage-by-stage physiotherapy programme rebuilds movement, strength and confidence for your sport.
Why early sports injury care matters
Getting back to sport
Recovery depends on the injury and the treatment. The physiotherapy team guides each stage, and Dr. Arun checks your progress before you return to play.
- First days Calm the joint Swelling and pain are controlled, and gentle movement begins.
- First weeks Movement and walking You regain the full range of movement and walk or use the arm normally.
- [Weeks 6 to 12] Strength and balance Muscle strength, balance and control are rebuilt with guided exercise.
- [Months 4 to 9] Return to sport Sport-specific training before you go back to running, pivoting or contact sport.
Before you play again
- Don’t play through pain. Returning too early can turn a small injury into a bigger one.
- Follow your rehab. Sticking to your exercise programme makes the biggest difference to the result.
- Tell us your goals. Share your sport and level so the plan fits what you want to get back to.
