Common Injuries for Astros Players and Fans

Our team of specialists gives you access to the latest, most advanced care — from prevention to treatment and recovery. 

ROTATOR CUFF TEARS

The rotator cuff is a network of four muscles that come together as tendons to form a covering around the head of
the upper arm bone.

HAND & WRIST INJURIES

The types of injuries result in fractures, dislocations, sprains and bruises.

ACL TEARS

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) helps to stabilize the knee. 

MENISCUS TEARS

The meniscus is cartilage that keeps the femur and tibia from grinding against one another, helping the knee joint to move smoothly.
