Most people only experience minor sports-related injuries such as strained Correcting this so that you can continue to exercise needs careful assessment and advice.

The mainstay of treatment is prompt diagnosis and early surgery. Anterior tibial compartment: deep peroneal nerve, anterior tibial artery.

Attempts to 'spring the pelvis' to assess stability should be avoided as this is unreliable and LC I: pubic ramus and ipsilateral anterior sacral ala fracture.
