Sports Injuries
Overview
Sports activities are very beneficial for our overall health and well-being but 
sometimes lead to injuries as well. Getting adequate rest, eating a well-balanced 
diet, hydrating, and warming up before playing can minimize the risk of sports 
injuries but cannot eliminate them completely. If you have developed any 
musculoskeletal injury, then you should consult an orthopaedic surgeon. AOSM 
is a popular medical centre that is known for having the 
best orthopaedic surgeons in Delhi. 
4 Most Common Orthopaedic Sports Injuries 
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Plantar Fasciitis
Tennis Elbow
Foot and Ankle Sprains
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Usually, people who do repetitive movements (like 
sewing or typing) develop carpal tunnel syndrome. It is 
a painful condition due to compression of the median 
nerve of the hand. Symptoms of this condition are 
numbness, pain, and tingling in the index finger, thumb, 
and middle finger. Treatment of this problem includes 
physical therapy, medication, and braces. 
Plantar Fasciitis
In simple terms, it is the ligament that attaches 
your toes to the heel. If this ligament gets 
stretched too far then it leads to severe pain and 
swelling in the heel. Usually, doctors recommend 
surgery for this problem. 
Tennis Elbow
This injury occurs due to overuse of the elbow’s 
tendons. Usually, this problem happens to 
plumbers, painters, hairdressers, and carpenters. 
Treatment of this problem includes pain relievers, 
physiotherapy, and rest. 
Foot and Ankle Sprains
A sprain occurs when a ligament between two adjacent 
bones is torn. Well, this problem can be treated with the 
RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation). However, 
some severe cases require additional medical treatment.
