Sports medicine for athletes — and anyone who wants to stay active.

Dr. Bastian holds a clinical professorship in orthopedic sports medicine and treats the tendon, ligament and cartilage injuries that sideline active people.

Quick answer

Dr. Bastian treats sports injuries across the extremities — tendon and ligament tears, cartilage damage and joint instability — using arthroscopy and repair techniques designed to restore function and get you back to activity.

Built for active bodies

Whether you’re a competitive athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone who just wants to keep hiking the Valley’s trails, sports injuries deserve care focused on getting you back to what you love.

Many injuries respond to a structured rehab program. When surgery is needed, modern arthroscopic techniques repair the damage with small incisions and a focus on durable, functional recovery.

Conditions we treat

  • Rotator cuff & shoulder injuries
  • ACL and knee ligament tears
  • Meniscus & cartilage injuries
  • Tendon ruptures (e.g., Achilles, biceps)
  • Joint instability & dislocations
  • Overuse and soft-tissue injuries

Procedures & treatments

  • Arthroscopy (shoulder, knee and more)
  • Ligament reconstruction
  • Tendon repair
  • Cartilage restoration
  • Instability stabilization
  • Return-to-sport rehabilitation planning

What to expect

Dr. Bastian will diagnose the injury, set realistic expectations, and build a plan around your sport, season and goals — from rehab to surgery and back to play.

Dr. Bastian believes in conservative care first when it makes sense — many problems improve with therapy, injections, bracing or time. When surgery is the right answer, he’ll explain exactly why, what it involves, and what recovery looks like, so you can decide with confidence.

Common questions

Sports Medicine FAQs

Do I need surgery for a torn ACL? +
Not everyone does — it depends on your instability, activity level and goals. Active patients who want to return to pivoting sports often benefit from reconstruction. Dr. Bastian will help you decide.
How quickly can I get back to my sport? +
Timelines vary widely by injury and procedure — from a few weeks for minor injuries to several months after ligament reconstruction. Dr. Bastian will give you a sport-specific plan.
Are injections or biologics an option? +
For some conditions, injections are part of non-surgical care. Dr. Bastian will discuss whether they fit your situation as part of an overall plan.
