Sports Medicine, Orthopedics/Orthopedic Surgery

Sarasota, FL

Dr. Brendon Connolly sees patients in Bradenton, FL and Sarasota, FL. His medical specialties are orthopedics/orthopedic surgery and sports medicine. He studied at the University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine.

"I've had two procedures by Dr. Connolly. First, October 2020, right hand carpal release procedure. At this time, the scar is barely noticeable. As expected, due to the loosening of the binding ligament, it's a little harder to use chopsticks... February 2021, left total knee replacement. I WILL be going back to him for the carpal release procedure on my left hand and my right knee replacement in the somewhat near future. After my last ortho doctor kept preaching that I'm too young (mid-50's) for a knee replacement, the arthritic damage spread from the medial compartment (bone-bone, two previous surgeries) to the lateral and shot down my preferred partial replacement. I've been in several times for joint effusion in both knees for drainage."

What is Sports Medicine?

Sports medicine is the specialty that promotes physical fitness and activity while managing, treating, and preventing injuries that happen during exercise or participation in sports. Sports medicine fosters wellness and fitness and works to inhibit injury. A sports medicine specialist may work with professional athletes, school sports teams, individuals who participate in sports on the weekend for fun, or someone who is just beginning to exercise for the first time. Although their main focus is on musculoskeletal function, sports medicine specialists also care for patients' full medical and nutritional needs as they relate to their active lifestyle.

Some examples of the kinds of injuries and issues that a sports medicine specialist might see in their work include:

Acute sports injuries (sprains, fractures)
Overuse injuries (tendonitis, bursitis)
Head injuries (concussion)
Heat injuries (heat stroke)
Athletes with chronic illness (asthma, diabetes, heart disease) and how their illness is affected by exercise
Nutrition and the use of supplements
Developing a safe exercise plan for obese or sedentary patients
Substance abuse of performance-enhancing drugs
Teaching proper form and technique to reduce the chance of injury

Sports medicine specialists often work closely with orthopedic specialists, and the scope of their work can have some overlap. The main distinction is that orthopedic specialists can perform surgery when it is needed, while sports medicine specialists focus on non-surgical solutions for injuries.

Whether they are the team physicians making sure every professional player is performing safely and at their best, or community specialists getting a player back in the game after a sprained ankle, sports medicine doctors are there to make sure people are in good condition to lead an active life.
