title: Leg and foot injuries in racquet sports.
abstract: Injuries to the lower extremity are common in racquet sports. The acute injuries usually respond well to treatment. Chronic injuries may require more patience and sometimes a change of playing habits on the part of the player. Some chronic injuries will respond well to operative intervention but most will do well with conservative care.
