32. Common Knee Injuries
Fractures Dislocation
The most common bone broken around the knee is
the patella. The ends of the femur and tibia where
they meet to form the knee joint can also be
fractured. Many fractures around the knee are
caused by high energy trauma, such as falls from
significant heights and motor vehicle collisions.
A dislocation occurs when the bones of the knee are
out of place, either completely or partially.
Dislocations can be caused by an abnormality in the
structure of a person's knee.
Patellar fracture Patellar dislocation.

33. Collateral Ligament Injuries Tendon Tears
Injuries to the collateral ligaments are usually caused
by a force that pushes the knee sideways. Injuries to
the MCL are usually caused by a direct blow to the
outside of the knee. Blows to the inside of the knee
that push the knee outwards may injure the lateral
collateral ligament.
The quadriceps and patellar tendons can be
stretched and torn. Falls, direct force to the front of
the knee, and landing awkwardly from a jump are
common causes of knee tendon injuries.
Tears of the medial and lateral collateral ligaments.

34. TREATMENT OF KNEE INJURIES
Immobilization Your doctor may recommend a brace to prevent your knee from moving. If you
have fractured a bone, a cast or brace may hold the bones in place while they
heal. To further protect your knee, you may be given crutches to keep you from
putting weight on your leg.
Physical therapy Specific exercises will restore function to your knee and strengthen the leg
muscles that support it.
Non-steroidal anti-
inflammatory
medicines
Drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen reduce pain and swelling.

35. Common Ankle Injuries
Ankle Sprains Ankle Fractures (Broken Ankle)
• An ankle sprain usually occurs when a person lands
from a jump onto an uneven surface and his or her
ankle rolls inward.
• Common symptoms associated with an ankle sprain
are pain with swelling, bruising and inability to walk
on the injured ankle. If significant ankle sprains are
not adequately treated, permanent disability can
result.
• A fractured ankle can range from a simple break in
one bone, which may not stop you from walking, to
several fractures, which forces your ankle out of
place and may require that you not put weight on it
for a few months.
• Simply put, the more bones that are broken, the
more unstable the ankle becomes. There may be
ligaments damaged as well.
• Cause- Twisting or rotating your ankle, Rolling your
ankle, Tripping or falling

36. Pilon Fractures of the Ankle Stress Fractures of the Foot and Ankle
• Pilon fractures affect the bottom of the shinbone
(tibia) at the ankle joint.
• Pilon is a French word for pestle, an instrument
used for crushing or pounding. In many pilon
fractures, the bones of the ankle joint are crushed
due to the high-energy impact causing the injury.
• Pilon fractures are most often caused by high-
energy impacts, such as, A pilon fracture often
affects both bones of the lower leg, fall from height,
motor vehicle/motorcycle collisions, skiing
• A stress fracture is a small crack in a bone. Stress
fractures often develop from overuse, such as from
high-impact sports like distance running or
basketball.
• Most stress fractures occur in the weight-bearing
bones of the foot and lower leg.
• Rest is the key element to recovery from a stress
fracture.

37. Prevention of ankle injury
Neuromuscular Control Preventive Ankle Taping and Bracing
• Neuromuscular control relies on the central
nervous system to interpret and integrate
proprioceptive and kinesthetic information and
then to control individual muscles and joint to
produce coordinated movements that collectively
protect the joint from injury
• Tape, properly applied, can provide some
prophylactic protection. Tape that constricts
soft tissues and blood circulation or disrupts
normal biomechanical function can, in time,
create unnecessary problems.
• Ankle bracing – brace may prevent lateral
and inversion movement of the foot without
inhibiting plantar flexion.

38. Strength Training Footwear
• Achieving both static and dynamic joint stability
through strength training is critical in preventing
ankle injury. A balance in strength throughout the
full range of motion must be developed and
maintained each of the four muscle groups that
surround the ankle joint. Strengthening exercise
should be done in eversion and inversion , which
can be done by rocking the ankle back and forth
on a wobble board and also in using surgical
tubing.
• shoes should not be used in activities for which
they were not intended- for example, running
shoes, which are design for straight ahead activity,
should not be worn to play basketball, a sport
demanding a great deal of lateral movement.

39. INJURIES AND TREATMENT FOR HIP
HIP POINTER
• a hip pointer is a deep bruise, or
contusion, on the top portion of the
pelvis that can be felt on either side of
the waistline.
• The distinguishing characteristic is hip
pain, plain and simple.
How It Happens
• A hip pointer is caused by a direct blow to
the top portion of the pelvis, which is
called the iliac crest. It could happen with
a direct blow taken in a contact sport or
when an athlete falls and hits the surface
hard
• (skier, cyclist, for example)

40. Initial Treatment
• Rest 24-48 hours to prevent further damage.
A hip pointer needs time to heal itself.
• Apply ice packs for 15-20 minutes, 3-4 times
a day for the first 24-72 hours, but don’t
apply ice directly to the skin.
How to Avoid This Inju
• Most hip pointers are accidental events
and cannot aprevented. Wearing
protective hip padding appropriate for
your sport gives some protection.

41. Hip Flexor Strain
• A first degree hip flexor strain means one of
the hip flexor muscles has been stretched or
slightly torn.
• Second degree strains refer to a partial tear
of the muscle or tendon,
• and in a third degree sprain, the muscle or
tendon is completely severed—a rare event.
• When a tendon is pulled off the bone at the
place where it is attached, it is called an
avulsion fracture.
HOW IT HAPPENS
• Iliopsoas, a hip flexor that can be strained when it
contracts forcefully, especially when the leg is fully
extended or prevented from moving.
• Example : Kicking and sprinting
• Hip flexors can be overused that can lead to strains.
• Tight hip flexors may make an athlete more
vulnerable to hamstring strains.

42. Initial Treatment
• Rest 24-48 hours to prevent further damage. A
hip pointer needs time to heal itself.
• Apply ice packs for 15-20 minutes, 3-4 times a
day for the first 24-72 hours, but don’t apply
ice directly to the skin.
• Aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen may relieve
pain.
• Compression shorts or a wrap bandage.
• For second and third degree sprains, rest the
leg that has been injured, use ice applications,
and see a sports medicine physician.
How to Avoid This Inju
• Do not increase exercise intensity,
duration, or frequency more than ten
percent a week.

43. Hip Bursitis
• Hip bursitis is the most frequently reported cause
of hip pain and, but it is more likely to affect
middle-aged and older adults rather than younger
athletes and exercisers, and women are more often
than men.
• Hip bursitis most often involves the bursa that
covers the greater trochanter of the femur,
although the iliopsoas bursa can also become
inflamed.
HOW IT HAPPENS
• Regardless of the location, hip bursitis happens
when one or more bursa sacs are irritated and
become inflamed due to trauma (getting hit and
falling on the hip), overuse (in distance runners, for
example), hip bone spurs, poor posture (caused by
scoliosis, for example), arthritis or leg length
differences.

44. Initial Treatment
• Apply ice packs for 15-20 minutes,
3-4 times a day.
• Avoid or limit the activities or
movements that cause the pain
for 2-3 days.
• Aspirin, acetaminophen,
ibuprofen and naproxen may
relieve pain. Aspirin, ibuprofen
and naproxen may relieve pain
and reduce inflammation.
• Use crutches if pain makes
walking difficult.
How to Avoid This Inju
• Wear athletic shoes that provide
adequate cushioning in the soles and
side-to-side support.
• Use protective padding to prevent hip
injuries that might lead to bursitis.
• Avoid or limit running on banked
surfaces

45. Benefits of Lower Body Exercises
Improve Daily Life
Strong legs are important for daily activity. From walking and running to climbing stairs, leg exercises
help strengthen your legs for daily life and all physical activity like increases bone strength, improves
your balance and stamina and decreases injuries to your knees and hips, along with your risk of falling.
Tone Your Total Body
Toning the lower body is important for supporting the rest of your body; such as your core, upper
body and head. Strong lower body helps slow the physical weakness that is part of the aging process
and maintains balance, stamina and confidence.
Burn More Calories
As the biggest muscles in the body, leg muscles require more blood. The heart beats more to supply
new blood to the lower body. By exercising the thighs, hamstrings, calves, and glutes, you can kick-
start your metabolism and burn more calories.
Get in Better Shape
Strengthening your lower body allows you to perform more intense physical activity.
