General principles
- First an accurate diagnosis: examination and, if needed, MRI or ultrasound.
- The basis is rehabilitation with gradually increasing load; complete rest is usually not needed.
- Injections (including PRP) are sometimes used for chronic tendinopathies; PRP is not prohibited by anti-doping rules.
- Surgery is discussed for complete tears, joint instability and failed treatment.
We send your images to several sports orthopaedic clinics and help you compare their offers. If you doubt whether surgery is needed, get a second opinion.
Frequently asked questions about sports injuries
When can I return to training?
It depends on the injury: with tendinopathy gradually over weeks, after ACL reconstruction usually after 9–12 months. The doctor sets the timeline.
Is PRP allowed for athletes?
Under current WADA rules PRP injections are not prohibited; check the current list with your federation.
Is surgery needed for a ligament tear?
Not always. It depends on joint stability, the sport and associated injuries.
How can RegenPAS help?
RegenPAS is a patient service centre in Munich, not a clinic. We review your images and symptoms and send a request to several partner clinics at once. Clinics that can accept you send their own conditions and price; prices differ between clinics, and you choose the option that suits you. The coordinator replies within 24 hours, and a clinic physician’s preliminary opinion follows in 1–3 business days. We then arrange the appointment, visa invitation, interpreter, transfers and accommodation. Treatment decisions are made by the clinic physician. Contact a coordinator.
