How common are knee, ankle & foot injuries in the workplace?

When we look at the overall instances of workplace injuries and illnesses, the Bureau of Labor Statistics tells us that there were 2.8 million total incidents during the latest reporting year in the US. If we look a little closer at the lower extremities during one recent reporting year, we can see that the workplace led to a total of:

  1. 104,000 knee injuries
  2. 60,000 ankle injuries
  3. 52,000 foot injuries

These injuries are fairly consistent year after year, and they are often severe injuries that lead to significant time away from work.

What are the most common injuries to the knee, ankle & foot?

Most of us use our legs extensively at work each day, regardless of what industry we are in. Our legs are susceptible to serious traumatic injuries as well as cumulative stress injuries. This can include:

  1. Fractures
  2. Dislocations
  3. Nerve damage
  4. Muscle damage
  5. Achilles’ tendon injuries
  6. Foot or ankle sprains
  7. ACL and MCL tears
  8. Kneecap injuries
  9. Repetitive motion injuries
  10. Cartilage damages

When even one part of our leg gets injured, it can affect the rest of our legs. In many cases, an injury to an ankle (or any other part) will cause us to compensate with another part of our legs, leading to further damage.
