Introduction

Sports injuries of the hip and knee joints can be very diverse. A distinction must be made between acute and chronic injuries.

In Belgium, acute injuries of the hip joint are not well known because they are often very sport-specific.

On the other hand, chronic injuries of the hip are more common and are often related to overuse.

The most frequent acute injuries of the knee are: torn meniscus, cartilage damage, an anterior cruciate ligament rupture, and patellar dislocation.

Chronic knee injuries are also frequent and are better known as tendinitis.
