LEG CONTUSION, LOWER LEG
Health Library > Sports Injuries >
General Information
DEFINITION--Bruising of the skin and underlying tissues of the lower leg due to a direct blow. Contusions cause bleeding from ruptured small capillaries that allow blood to infiltrate muscles, tendons or other soft tissue. The lower leg is particularly susceptible to contusions because it is frequently exposed to direct blows. If the blow is over the tibia (shin bone), it is much more likely to be severe.
BODY PARTS INVOLVED
Lower-leg tissues, including blood vessels, muscles, tendons, nerves, covering to bone (periosteum) and connective tissue.
The peroneal nerve where it wraps around the upper portion of the fibula. Injury to the nerve can lead to painful neuritis or temporary paralysis and a dropped foot. {244}
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS
Swelling--either superficial or deep.
Pain at the contusion site.
Feeling of firmness when pressure is exerted on the injury.
Tenderness.
Discoloration under the skin, beginning with redness and progressing to the characteristic "black and blue" bruise.
Restricted leg function proportional to the extent of injury.
Feeling an "electric shock" followed by temporary muscle paralysis, causing the foot to drop.
CAUSES
Direct blow to the leg, usually from a blunt object.
Strengthening exersies for rehabilitation of calf muscle contusion
