Experienced Sports Medicine Specialists

We are known for helping Olympic hopefuls, professional athletes, and weekend warriors make a fast, complete recovery and get back in the game.

Our team uses the latest medical advances, including minimally invasive techniques and robotic assisted surgery, to reduce pain and speed healing for all common acute and chronic injuries to the bone and muscle tissue.

Knee Injuries

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the major stabilizing ligament in the knee, which may tear with over use while playing sports. The ACL has poor ability to heal and may cause instability. Other common sports injuries in the knee include cartilage damage and meniscal tear. Knee injuries during sports may require surgical intervention, which can be performed using open surgical or a minimally invasive technique. Your surgeon will recommend physical therapy to strengthen your muscles, and improve elasticity and movement of the bones and joints.

Hip Injuries

Fractures of the femur bone, labral tear and hip dislocation are some of the common sports injuries affecting the hip. The hip joint bears more weight and is more susceptible for injuries while playing sports. Hip injuries require immediate medical intervention to avoid further complications. Rehabilitation programs and physical therapy is often recommended following medical intervention, where you need to perform certain exercises to strengthen your muscles and improve movements.

Shoulder Injuries

Severe pain in your shoulder(s) while playing your favorite sport, such as tennis, basketball and gymnastics, may be caused by a torn ligament or dislocation of the shoulder bone. These may result from overuse of your shoulder while playing sports. Simple pain or acute injuries may be treated with conservative treatment, while chronic injuries may require surgical treatment.

Our Impact

“Hips, knees and torn muscles treated with excellence” 

“Hips, knees & torn muscles treated with excellence.” 

Dr. Nanson performed left knee revision, left hip replacement, right knee replacement, and most recently torn muscle care — and every experience is characterized by professionalism, personable interaction, and of course top-notch surgical care and aftercare. I would be willing to pay for out-of-network to be able to receive a continuum of care here rather than any other provider.

“Olympic downhill run at Snow Basin.” 

This photo was taken on the start hill of the Olympic downhill run at Snow Basin, UT. The slope is 49 degrees and it was taken a year after my left knee replacement and 5 years after my right hip replacement. I hope this little photo can encourage anyone needing replacements to do so.

“Hockey player is happy to be back on the ice.” 

After years of hip pain due to ski racing and hockey goaltending, I ended my freshman season as a D1 goaltender with a devastating hip injury. Not only did Dr. Wagner ensure my career and livelihood as an athlete, but the follow-up care was simply wonderful. From answering my questions over the phone to my follow-up visits. I felt they were with me every step of the way.

“Grateful for Dr. Puskas and recent shoulder replacement” 

“Grateful for Dr. Puskas and recent shoulder replacement.” 

I recently had a shoulder joint replacement by Dr. Puskas and his surgical team. My questions were answered with such kindness and patience. The outcome of the surgery is more than I thought possible. My deepest gratitude to all of you.
