Sports Injuries vs Arthritis
Athletes can experience both sports-related knee injuries and early-onset arthritis. An accurate diagnosis is essential — treating a ligament injury as arthritis (or vice versa) leads to suboptimal outcomes. Dr. Magar uses clinical examination, imaging, and functional assessment to distinguish between these conditions accurately.
