What this Trial Is About
This observational study aims to evaluate the long-term recovery and clinical outcomes of patients undergoing minimally invasive (arthroscopic) surgeries for sports-related shoulder and knee injuries. Sports injuries, such as ligament tears, meniscus damage, and rotator cuff tears, are common and can significantly impact a person's daily life and ability to return to sports. While surgery is an effective treatment, the recovery process and final outcomes can vary greatly from person to person. Researchers will follow patients who are already scheduled for routine shoulder or knee surgery at the study center. By collecting detailed information about the patient's initial injury, the specific surgical techniques used by the doctor, and the patient's recovery progress over two years, the study hopes to identify which factors lead to the best healing and functional outcomes. Participants will be asked to complete standard questionnaires about their joint function and pain levels before their surgery, and again at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery. The study is strictly observational; it will not change the standard medical care, surgical plan, or rehabilitation routine the patients receive.
