| • | ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Injuries
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) are two tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (the large bone of the lower leg) at the knee joint. |
| • | Ankle Fracture
Whenever a bone breaks or cracks, the injury is called a fracture. In the ankle, three different bones can be fractured. |
| • | Ankle Sprain
An ankle sprain occurs when there is a stretch or tear in one or more of the ankle ligaments. |
| • | Athlete's Foot (Tinea Pedis)
Athlete's foot, also known as tinea pedis, is a common foot infection caused by fungi called dermatophytes. |
| • | Broken Jaw
Jaw fractures are the third most common type of facial fractures, after fractures of the nose and cheekbone. |
| • | Broken Nose (Nasal Fracture)
A broken nose is a fracture of the nasal bones. In most cases, there is also some damage to nearby nasal cartilage, particularly the nasal septum. |
| • | Collarbone (Clavicle) Fracture
When a bone breaks or cracks, the injury is called a fracture. In the collarbone (clavicle), fractures can happen in three separate areas. |
| • | Concussion
A concussion is a short-lived disturbance in brain function caused by a mild head injury. |
| • | Fallen Arch
A fallen arch or flatfoot is known medically as pes planus. The foot loses the gently curving arch that normally is on the inner side of the sole, just in front of the heel. |
| • | Heat Stroke (Hyperthermia)
Heat stroke is a serious, potentially life-threatening form of heat illness. |
| • | Heel Pain

| • | Leg Fracture
In the leg, fractures can occur almost anywhere along the straight shafts of the leg's three long bones - the femur (the thigh bone) and the tibia and fibula in the lower leg. |
| • | Leg Strain
A muscle strain is a stretch or tear of muscle fibers. In the leg, muscle strains happen when a muscle is either stretched beyond its limits or forced into extreme contraction. |
| • | Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Injuries
A PCL injury is a sprain (stretch or tear of a ligament). |
| • | Shoulder Dislocation
A shoulder dislocation occurs when the top of the bone of the upper arm (the humerus) moves out of its usual location in the shoulder joint. |
| • | Swimmer's Ear (Otitis Externa)
Swimmer's ear is an infection of the ear canal caused by bacteria or fungi. |
| • | Torn Meniscus
A meniscus is a disk-shaped piece of cartilage that acts as a shock absorber inside a joint. |
| • | Wrist Sprain
A sprain in the wrist is an injury to its ligaments, the tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect bones to one another inside a joint. |
