This photograph depicts the dedicated, desperate nature of the sports medicine orthopedist, who at times acts as the first responder to the acute athletic trauma. The doctor is administering a specialised sideline examination, where he is administering certain manual evaluations to determine the reliability of the ligaments of a knee- either ACL or MCL, right after the injury. This is highly professional analysis aimed at quick assessment of the severity, life-line therapeutic treatment, and determining whether an athlete should be allowed to resume playing or subjected to more advanced imaging and intervention. Outside the trauma, these experts deal with overuse injuries, such as tendonitis, and stress fractures, with a combination of extensive understanding of biomechanics and treatment objectives aimed solely at restoring accurate functioning, power, and confidence of an athlete to a secure return to his game at any tier.
