Sports Injury & Trauma

Sports injuries occur while playing sports or exercising. They can result from accidents, poor training practices, inadequate equipment, and overuse of a body part. Not warming up or stretching enough before play or exercise can also lead to injuries.

Some of the common sports injuries include:

• Sprains and strains
• Injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, rotator cuff injuries, tennis elbow
• Fractures
• Dislocations
• Tendon tear

Symptoms of acute sports injury include:

• Immediate, severe pain
• Inability to place weight on foot, ankle, knee, or leg
• Swelling and tenderness
• Limited range of motion
• Joint or bone out of place

Chronic injuries are typically the result of overusing certain areas of the body during sports or exercise over a long period of time.

Symptoms of chronic injuries include:

• Pain while resting or playing
• Swelling
