Dr. Mark Sanders of Leading Sanders Clinic Assures Athletes: Once Devastating Knee Injury, No Longer Career Ender

Houston, TX (PRWEB) April 3, 2008 -- Physician to athletes across the United States, board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Sanders of Sanders Clinic for Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, assures athletes that the proper surgical procedure can preserve both knee function and careers following multiple ligament injuries such as O'Donoghue's Triad.

O'Donoghue's Triad, also known as Terrible Triad, refers to a knee injury involving multiple ligaments and cartilage within the knee. The medial collateral ligament (MCL), anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial and/or lateral meniscus (cartilage) all sustain damage. This injury is most often sustained when a lateral (to the outside) force impacts the knee while the foot is fixed on the ground. This type of injury occurs often in contact sports such as football.

"It's important to remember that every ligament has its own healing potential," stated Dr. Mark Sanders.

"Instead of doing surgery on all three structures involved, a huge operation that often leads to disabling stiffness, we have found it best to let the MCL and sometimes even the meniscal tears heal on their own, in a cast over a month. We then perform surgery on the ACL only. The menisci sometimes need to be repaired, but often will heal on their own," added Sanders.

Dr. Sanders further explained that if the MCL and the meniscal cartilages are left alone to heal naturally, only one ligament requires repair, stating that too often doctors become worried about operating on all three and create an overwhelming and unnecessarily complex procedure -- potentially yielding career-ending results.

When surgery is performed on only one ligament and area of injury, followed by rehabilitation of the knee, total recovery time can be as little as five to six months from the date of injury. This is in stark contrast to the generally accepted one to two years of recovery.

Practicing in Houston since 1986, Dr. Mark Sanders is listed among Houston's "Top Docs" featured in H Texas magazine and "Phenomenal Physicians" in Health & Fitness Sports Magazine. He has offices at the River Oaks Medical Tower and Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center in Houston and Surgery Specialty Hospitals of America in Pasadena, where he is also Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery.

I am not wealthy, and I did not inherit money or receive a giant alimony settlement! I am responsible for supporting myself, and my kids in a decent neighborhood by good schools.
