Knee Sports Injury Treatment In Dubai

Types of Knee Sports Injuries- When Need to Take Consult?

Knee injuries do not happen to sports people; ordinary people can also face such issues. Still, it is more common in sports people than in general people. But all knee injuries are not the same. Here we will discuss some of the common types of knee injuries –

Knee fracture - Knee fracture is a common injury, yet it is one of the critical knee injuries. It is common in sports as well. In a knee fracture, the knee cap (that protects the inner knee) breaks or gets fractured due to a direct hit or fall.

Knee dislocation – Knee cap dislocation happens due to fast-paced impacts like being hurt by a ball, car accidents, or a knee twist during running, jumping, skiing, etc. It is also a common type of knee sports injury.

ACL injury – ACL or Anterior Cruciate ligament is one of the primary ligaments of the knee. It can get torn due to overuse or excessive stress.

PCL injury – PCL or Posterior Cruciate ligament injury is also common in sports. One can tear their PCL due to overuse or wrong knee movement.

LCL injury – LCL or lateral collateral ligaments are also prone to injury. People can tear their LCL during running, jumping, or hard falling. 

Meniscal tear – The meniscus is one of the secondary ligaments of the knee which controls its movement. Meniscal tear is also common in sports people. It can happen due to changing direction abruptly during running. 

Tendon tear – The tendon or patellar tendon is another secondary ligament of the knee that supports knee movement. A tendon tear happens when a player abruptly changes their direction during running, jumping, skiing, etc.
