The most commonly injured joints are the knees, shoulder, elbows and ankle; less commonly the hip and wrist are injured, and rarely the joints of the spine and hand are damaged.

Least violent : soft tissue damage - sprain : internal damage - meniscal tear - loose body - ligamentous damage : instability - subluxation - dislocation Most violent : fracture
