Causes of Foot, Knee, & Ankle Injuries in Car Accidents in Milwaukee and Southeastern Wisconsin, including Kenosha, Madison, Racine, and Waukesha

NHTSA found fractures to be the most commonly sustained serious lower extremities injury in passenger vehicle accidents. Dislocation and fractures of the feet occur when feet are squeezed in the pedals or the floorboard folds in a collision.

Lower extremity car accident injuries in areas such as Kenosha and Waukesha include:

• Fractures:
  Broken shinbones, ankle bones, lower leg bones, and fractured knee caps are common auto accident injuries.
• Sprains:
  Injury to the ligaments around the joints can occur when ligaments are stretched or torn in an accident.
• Strains:
  Strains occur when muscles or tendons are stretched or torn in a collision.
• Meniscus (knee cartilage) tears:
  When the knee is bent or twisted during an accident, the cartilage (meniscus) can be torn.
• ACL and MCL (knee ligament) tears:
  Both the anterior cruciate ligament and the medial collateral ligament can be torn or sprained as a result of a traffic crash.
