What are the different types of leg injury?
The leg is composed of four bones:
- The femur, located in the thigh, is the longest and strongest bone in the body, but still prone to injury.
- The tibia and fibula are in the lower leg, connecting the knee to the ankle. These bones are more commonly injured.
Leg injuries can range from temporary conditions, such as needing crutches or a wheelchair, to severe cases like amputation or permanent disfigurement. Common leg injuries include:
- Muscular tears
- Lacerations
- Exposed fractures (where the bone is visible through the skin)
- Closed fractures (where the skin remains intact)
How can leg injuries be caused?
Many accidents at work are reported to involve injuries to the leg. Particularly on construction sites, in warehouses and factories, as well as farms where there is regular use of heavy machinery.
Poorly maintained equipment, uneven or slippery surfaces, falls from height and lack of adequate training or PPE can all give rise to leg injuries in these environments. There are also some sports that lend themselves to leg injuries, such as contact sports like football and rugby when a tackle goes wrong.
