Abstract

Nanotechnology concept has recently entered into the activities of daily living. Nanotechnology in sports medicine can be defined as the adaptation of all kinds of developments in nanoscale into medicinal applications related with sports injuries. The adapted developments can be either directly related with the medical interventions such as regeneration of a tissue, implantation, and drug therapies or supporting elements like imaging, strappings, and tapings. In this chapter, the reflection of newly emerged nanoscale technologies regarding sports injuries will be discussed with recent examples.
