Typical Sports Injuries

Sports injuries often occur in the ankle, knee, elbow, and shoulder, and may be the result of overuse caused by a series of small injuries to the same spot or sudden trauma. A few conditions involving the arms include shoulder separations or dislocations, rotator cuff tears, and elbow tendonitis known as tennis elbow. Some of the more common conditions affecting the legs are a torn anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL), meniscal tears, damaged cartilage, and torn Achilles tendons.
