Injuries due to trauma include fractures, joint dislocations, ligament tears, tendon injuries and muscle haematomas, strains and ruptures.
Injuries due to overuse.
Over use syndromes are particularly difficult to diagnose and treat. They are becoming increasingly common as sport intensity and training increases.
This type of injury is caused by overload or repeated microscopic injuries to the muscular skeletal system. The body can be made more susceptible to injury if there is muscle imbalance,or other anatomical reasons such as malalignment of the leg.
Also there can be training errors, faulty technique, incorrect equipment and surfaces and poor conditions.
If injuries are to heal satisfactorily they must be treated in the right way at the right time.
