Hi,
Julie has it right, the list of sports injuries is virtually endless, especially considering the injuries vary from sport to sport. They may range from concussion at football to a bullet wound when hunting! The most common sports injuries in my experience however are bruises/contusions, sprains of ligaments or strains of muscles/tendons, fractures and concussive head injuries.
Cheers,
Dr. AReport this post
