On-the-job injuries come in many shapes and sizes. While on the job, a worker may strain or sprain their muscles, ligaments, or tendons. They may also suffer a soft tissue injury to their wrists, shoulders, neck, or knees. At other times, they may experience a broken bone—or suffer a traumatic head or brain injury if they hit their head while working. Injuries sustained while on the job can affect certain body parts more than others. Common on-the-job injuries often involve a worker’s feet, legs, knees, joints, tendons, arms, shoulders, and bones. Fractures are common injuries and can happen to almost any bone in the body. A soft tissue injury, on the other hand, does not involve a broken bone but rather a muscular sprain or strain. However, soft tissue injuries can still be extremely painful and may require one or more surgeries or other medical procedures to correct. In addition, an individual who suffers a soft tissue injury may need to undergo several rounds of physical therapy to feel better and recover fully.
