Sports Medicine

Sports Medicine Doctor in Carmel, IN

Dr. Robert Czarkowski is an expert sports medicine doctor in Carmel, Indiana. He is well-known among local athletes for his work at St. Vincent Carmel Hospital, where he founded the sports medicine division more than 25 years ago, and he currently serves as chairman of surgery.

There is no better orthopedic doctor near Indianapolis for athletic injuries and rehabilitation than Dr. Czarkowski. He is fellowship trained in sports surgery and arthroscopy – a minimally invasive procedure preferred by athletes everywhere.

What is Arthroscopic Surgery?

Arthroscopy, or arthroscopic surgery, allows an orthopedic surgeon to diagnose and repair ligament, tendon, and joint damage simultaneously. The surgeon uses a small scope with a camera attached to examine the injury and make repairs on the spot.

Tiny surgical tools can be attached to the end of the scope to repair torn ligaments and tendons and damaged tissues. The arthroscope is so small that the entire procedure can be done with only two or three tiny incisions, which are small enough to heal without stitches.

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open surgery, where larger incisions are made and recovery takes longer. Since arthroscopy was developed decades ago, it has since been the preferred choice of treatment for physicians and their patients. Arthroscopy offers many benefits for patients:

  • Single procedure for diagnostics and treatment
  • No stiches needed
  • Fast recovery
  • Less pain and scarring
  • Less risk of surgery complications

Dr. Czarkowski is fellowship trained to specialize in shoulder arthroscopy and knee arthroscopy.
