The shoulder and knee joints are the sites most commonly afflicted by sports injuries, especially from high-contact games and intense athletic endeavors. These injuries include meniscus tears, anterior cruciate ligament injuries, posterior cruciate ligament injuries, and multi-ligament injuries of the knee. The rotator cuff and the labral tears are common injuries  of the shoulder joint. Early detection and treatment must be ensured for best rehabilitation and to avert long-term consequences.
