The right treatment can help injured athletes return to competition, according to sports injury specialist Ch. Venkatesh, who cited the example of a policeman’s recent sporting success. The example involved Ch.
Venkatesh of the DGP office. He underwent keyhole surgery on his knee in 2022, followed by nine months of physiotherapy. After that treatment and rehabilitation, he won a gold medal in taekwondo poomsae at the All India Police Judo Cluster Championship.
