One of the most common problems in sports injuries is that they are not healed in time or prevented so that they do not occur again, as stated by the Spanish Society of Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology (SECOT). This was the case of Sergio Alba, a professional padel player ranked 38th in the World Padel Tour, who after having successfully undergone surgery for chronic compartment syndrome, suffered a new injury as a result of his sports practice: a tear in the flexors of the fifth finger of the right hand that took him away from the slopes.
After going to several professionals and none of them finding “the problem and the solution,” as Alba recalls, the player decided to seek treatment at the Unidad de Medicina Deportiva de Vithas | Invincible when his friend and former padel teammate, Kike Lagarejos, recommended it to him. “It was a pleasant surprise to discover that there was a medical team focused on both athletes with health problems derived from physical activity and those who want to improve their performance,” she explains.
Alba’s case was considered from the beginning to be a complex case, since it was based on a spontaneous rupture associated with the physical wear and tear that comes with the high competitive level, says Dr. Daniel Aedo, a specialist in Traumatology and a doctor who treated the player. “But the medical team was always aware of the importance for our patients to resume their activity with the greatest guarantees that allow them to remain in the elite.”
In fact, the doctors were there throughout the entire care process (from diagnosis, to treatment and recovery). “Having a specialized medical team has been key to dealing with my sports injury and being able to return to competing as soon as possible,” says grateful Sergio Alba, whose current health goals are to overcome postoperative stiffness and little by little regain his strength and previous function.
“Any player who comes to this unit will be in the best hands, since not only will he or she have professional and close treatment that, on a psychological level, will help him cope better with the injury, but also his recovery will be as quick as possible to return.” to competition,” explains the player.

Sergio Alba’s has not been the only case of success treated at the Vithas Sports Medicine Unit | Invictum. A few months ago, Flor Teves, a professional field hockey player in the Royal Spanish Hockey Federation, went to this unit after suffering an anterior cruciate meniscus injury that forced her sports career to stop.
“These types of injuries are one of the most complex for a very high-performance field hockey athlete like Flor,” explains Dr. Camilo Chiquito, a specialist in Sports Medicine and Biomechanics at this unit and a doctor who has treated Teves. However, four months after her surgical intervention, the athlete’s current condition is “very good”, thanks to the combination of clinical treatment and diagnostic imaging, reinforced with physiotherapy.
