From the minor strains to the serious bone injuries, there are many sports injuries can happen through an athlete’s career.

Surgical
Procedures
Severe
and serious injuries require surgical procedures. The serious injuries may

broken bones may require wires, plates, screws, or rods to correct the
physicality and functioning.
There are
two types of surgical procedures that an athlete might need to treat his
injury. Those surgical procedures include; open surgery and arthroscopic
surgery.
Arthroscopic
surgery is a minimally-invasive procedure and highly-efficient technique for
rectifying joint problems. In Arthroscopic surgery, small incisions are made to
insert Arthroscope – a small camera, and other surgical instruments.

athletes, but this treatment procedure is also a good option for those who want
to get back to their normal life or work as soon as possible.
Common or
famous sports knee injuries and their treatments:
Anterior
Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Tears
The
anterior cruciate ligament is one of the four primary ligaments in our knee.
Despite being the smallest of the four ligaments, it allows our knee to rotate.
When your anterior cruciate ligament is injured, your knee becomes unable to
bend or function to its full extent.
Causes of
sprained or broken ACL sports injuries:
- Sudden change in the
movement
- Incorrect landing techniques
while jumping or running
- The abnormal force applied
to the front or back of the knee
Posterior
Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Tears
The
posterior cruciate ligament is quite similar to the ACL, which connects the
thigh bone to the shin bone. Despite being little larger and longer than the
ACL, it is still tearable. The PCL injury leads to the experience of knee
instability. This makes walking and bearing weight becomes difficult to handle
for your knee.
Meniscus
tear
The
meniscus is the part of your bone that makes a cushion between your femur
(thighbone) and tibia (shinbone). Each knee joint contains 2 meniscus. No
matter you are an athlete or not, the meniscus tear can happen to anyone.
Causes of
a meniscus tear:
- A sudden or pivot turn
- Heavy weight lifting
- Weak muscles
