Abstract:
Tennis is popular in the United States, with millions participating in the sport. Unlike many other sports, young, middle-aged, and elderly persons are actively playing tennis. Most injuries that are seen are secondary to overuse. Faulty stroke mechanics are often involved in the development of specific injuries seen in tennis players. Fortunately, most injuries respond to conservative treatment and do not require surgery. Most players are able to return to their previous level of activity after appropriate treatment.

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella
Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
