Getting busy people back to work and sport

Many Plano patients juggle demanding jobs with tennis, running, golf, CrossFit or coaching their kids. Dr. Dold’s goal is a clear diagnosis at the first visit and a plan that fits your schedule, whether that is therapy, an injection or surgery.

Shoulder pain and rotator cuff tears

Rotator cuff tears are among the most common reasons adults see Dr. Dold. For small and medium tears, a randomized trial found that repair gave better results than physical therapy alone at ten years.1 Most people return to work after rotator cuff repair, though the timing depends on the job.2 See rotator cuff tears and shoulder pain.

Achilles tendon ruptures

A sudden pop at the back of the ankle during basketball, pickleball or tennis is often an Achilles rupture. In a large randomized trial, patients treated without surgery, with open surgery or with minimally invasive surgery had similar function at one year, but re-ruptures were more common without surgery.3 Dr. Dold, who has published a review on managing Achilles ruptures, walks you through both paths. See Achilles tendon rupture.

Tennis elbow and PRP

Tennis elbow usually improves with time, activity changes and therapy. For stubborn cases, a randomized trial found that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gave better results at one year than a cortisone injection.4 See tennis elbow and PRP injections.

Also treated for Plano patients

ACL tears, meniscus tears, hip labral tears, plantar fasciitis, and hip and knee replacement.
