Sports Injuries

What is a Sports Injury?

Understanding the condition

Sports injuries of the foot and ankle are among the most common musculoskeletal issues seen in active individuals. They can involve sprains, ligament tears, tendonitis, fractures, or cartilage damage, often caused by repetitive stress or sudden impact.
Athletes and physically active patients are particularly at risk due to high-intensity movements, uneven playing surfaces, and insufficient recovery time.
Prompt diagnosis and early treatment are essential to prevent chronic instability and ensure a safe return to activity.

When to suspect a Sports Injury?

Signs & Symptoms

Ongoing discomfort or weakness despite rest

How We Diagnose Sports Injuries

Diagnosis starts with a comprehensive physical examination and review of the injury mechanism.
Dr. Malek Abu-Al-Nadi assesses the affected area for swelling, tenderness, and range of motion.
X-rays, ultrasound, or MRI scans may be used to confirm the type and severity of injury — whether soft tissue, tendon, or bone involvement — enabling a targeted treatment plan focused on full recovery and prevention of recurrence.
