What do we know about common knee, ankle and foot injuries?

Workplace lower extremity injuries make up a significant portion of the total work injuries. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) tells us that there were around 2.8 million workplace injuries or illnesses during the latest reporting year. Using recent year data, we know that there were:

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

Some of the most common knee, ankle and foot injuries that happen in the workplace include:

5. ACL and MCL tears
6. Kneecap injuries
7. Fractures

How do these injuries occur in the workplace?

There are many ways that knee, ankle and foot injuries happen in the workplace. One of the most common ways these injuries occur is falls. Other common causes of these workplace injuries include:

1. Vehicle crashes
2. Getting pinned between heavy objects
3. Overextending joints
4. Falling heavy objects

Repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) often occur when an employee is tasked with repeating the same motions with their lower extremities over long periods of time. Most RSIs and other leg injuries are preventable if employers ensure that workers are properly trained and have the equipment they need to perform each task.
