Types of Leg, Knee and Ankle Injuries at Work
When joints of the body, especially those in the leg and lower half of the body, are exposed to years of constant movement, heavy lifting and repetitive stress, they get worn down and are more susceptible to injuries. Especially in jobs that are physically demanding, such as construction, factory and manufacturing work, the risk of injury to lower half of the body can be great.
These injures can include:
- Sprained or strained ankles
- Ruptured or dislocated tendons in the ankle or knee
- ACL, MCL and meniscus tears
- Strained or sprained calves
- Stress fractures
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendon ruptures
Of course, accidents in the workplace may also cause serious leg, knee and joint injuries. Falls, forklift accidents, falling debris, vehicle accidents, stairway accidents and other accidents can all cause significant damage, or in some cases, permanent disability.
