What are the 7 Most Common Sports Injuries?
Unfortunately, orthopedic sports injuries are quite common among athletes and anyone who participates in physical activity.
The following common sports-related injuries are routinely diagnosed and treated at Suburban Orthopaedics:
- Sprains and strains – These injuries frequently involve the ligaments and muscles in the ankles, wrists, or knees
- Fractures – Broken bones that can happen as a result of forceful blows or constant stress
- Dislocations – Accidents when the ends of bones are pushed out of place, frequently affecting the shoulders or fingers
- Tendonitis – Tennis elbow and Achilles tendinitis are two common cases of tendon inflammation or irritation, called tendonitis
- ACL Tears – Injury to the knee’s anterior cruciate ligament, frequently brought on by twisting movements
- Rotator cuff injuries – Tears or inflammation in the shoulder muscles and tendons
- Concussions – Traumatic brain injuries frequently occur from head trauma
Understanding these frequent injuries and receiving immediate medical attention can greatly speed recovery and reduce issues down the road.
