The Institute of Sports Medicine (ISM) at the Medical Faculty of the University of Maribor is an institution which offers comprehensive treatment for athletes: prevention, diagnostics and treatment of injuries, kinesiology studies, advice on nutrition and psychological training. In addition, ISM organises congresses and is involved in prevention programmes (“FIFA 11+”, preventive examination and annual pre-season testing, Football for Health, etc.) and provides medical support to football clubs. The ISM actively collaborates with University Medical Centre Maribor and combines together all the experts in sport medicine including orthopaedists, traumatologists, radiologists, physiotherapists and other specialists, and covers extensive diagnostics and therapies. In addition, research projects are performed in collaboration with the Institute of Biochemistry, Physiology, Anatomy, Cellular Laboratory, etc. and the Stimulation Centre (emergencies, ADSL, surgical utilities, etc.) is available.
ISM provides clinical examinations of athletes (as prevention and diagnostics) and ensures examination in different medical specialities, e.g. of orthopaedics, traumatology, cardiopulmonary, physiotherapy, radiology, etc.
Complete treatment is assured including conservative (e.g. overuse injuries, tendinopathies, impingement syndromes, postoperative cases, PRP application, physiotherapy, proprioception, etc.) and operative treatment (fractures, dislocations, head injuries, spine injuries, muscle and tendon ruptures, ACL and meniscal ruptures, chondral lesions, contusions, etc.). Daily, several arthroscopic and open surgical procedures are performed.
In addition, the cardiopulmonary department provides full coverage of internal disease and other internal emergency cases. In the event of an emergency, the Medical Emergency Unit is a professionally and organisationally homogeneous unit providing non-stop 24-hour medical care to ill and injured people. Afterwards, rehabilitation testing and evaluation is performed prior to sport involvement. A multidisciplinary approach is ensured through collaborations between various types of clinical research expertise and specialist institutions. Along the clinical part, all the institutions and clinical departments are continuously evolving in the educational activity and also in research projects.
ISM actively collaborates with local and national football clubs (e.g. Intermunicipal Football Association of Maribor – MNZ Maribor with more than 6,000 members) and provides comprehensive clinical support such as referring athletes to a second specialist based on primary clinical examination where further diagnostics are carried out as necessary (imaging: X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, CT, blood samples, ECG, etc.).
