Treating High School Sports Injuries
Every year, millions of teens participate in high school sports. An injury to a high school athlete can be a cause of major concern for the teen, family and team. Some players may hide the extent of their injuries, hoping to tough it out. However, as soon as high school sports injuries occur, you should seek proper treatment at High Mountain Orthopedics in Wayne, NJ.
Types of High School Sports Injuries
Young athletes experience injuries in three categories: overuse, twisting and acute injuries. All types impact muscles, ligaments and bones.
Acute injuries are caused by sudden trauma. Examples of trauma include collisions with obstacles on the field or between players. Common acute injuries include contusions, sprains, strains and fractures.
A twisting force is a common cause of ankle fractures and ligament injuries (sprains).
