Youth sports injuries
Celina is one of the fastest-growing towns in North Texas, with a growing number of young athletes in football, soccer, volleyball, basketball and cheer. Dr. Dold sees many teen athletes and works with families, coaches and therapists on a safe return to play.
Kneecap dislocations
A kneecap that slides out of place is a common injury in teens. One study found the risk was highest in girls aged 10 to 17, and about 1 in 6 had another dislocation after the first.1 A review found that younger age and certain knee anatomy, such as a shallow groove for the kneecap, raise the chance of it happening again.2 Most first-time dislocations are treated with therapy; surgery is considered when the risk of repeat dislocations is high. See kneecap dislocation.
ACL tears
ACL tears are among the most serious knee injuries in young athletes. Neuromuscular warm-up programs lower the risk of ACL injury, according to a large review of prevention studies.3 For active patients who tear their ACL, a randomized trial found that early reconstruction gave better knee function and sports participation at two years than rehabilitation with optional later surgery.4 See ACL injuries and ACL reconstruction.
Growth plate and overuse problems
Knee pain below the kneecap in a growing athlete is often Osgood-Schlatter disease, which usually settles with activity changes. Dr. Dold also treats Little League shoulder, stress fractures and other overuse injuries. See Osgood-Schlatter disease and pediatric orthopedics.
Adults too
Dr. Dold also treats Celina adults for rotator cuff tears, hip pain, Achilles ruptures, and hip and knee replacement.

Questions from Celina patients
My child hurt their knee at practice. How soon can they be seen?
Same-day appointments are available, and new patients can walk in Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:30 to 10:30 am.
Does my teen need surgery for a torn ACL?
Most active teens who want to return to cutting and pivoting sports need reconstruction, but the timing and graft choice depend on age, growth and sport. Dr. Dold explains the options with you.
Can you help with return-to-sport clearance?
Yes. Dr. Dold bases return to play on strength and function testing, not just time since surgery.
Does Dr. Dold accept my insurance?
Dr. Dold accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicare and Tricare. Please call 469-850-0680 to confirm your coverage.
