Fracture or damage to the Lumbar vertebrae 5 may result into "foot drop with weakness of the anteriortibial, postiriortibial, loss of function by the peroneal muscle, and the damage to the sacral vertebrae 1 may result into weakness of the medial gastrocnemius muscle with impaired ankle planter flexion and loss of ankle

King will be talking about how dangerous football is. There will be knee cartilagae tears. I will also be talking about spine injuries. The final thing is death. Thatnis all.
Foot drop occurs due to one or a combination of the three categories: Muscle damage, Skeletal or anatomical abnormalities affecting the foot, and Nerve damage. Underlying medical problems that may cause drop foot include but are not limited to compartment syndrome, a lower back condition, a stroke or tumor, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, motor neuron disease, multiple sclerosis, adverse reactions to drugs or alcohol, or an injury to the foot or lower leg. The patient may be with or without any symptoms of foot pain or leg pain. If pain is present, they may have neurological symptoms such as tingling or burning, ranging from a slight tingling sensation to a complete lack of feeling in the
Syndesmotic injuries can also result from severe eversion or inversion ankle sprains. Excessive eversion at the Subtalar joint can tear the deltoid ligament, force the talus to push the fibula laterally, and eventually damage the tibiofibular ligaments. Severe inversion injuries damage the lateral ankle ligaments and can also disrupt the ankle mortise and fibular stability, the tibia and fibula usually separate and spontaneously reduce. In the eversion and inversion mechanisms, the lateral malleolus, distal fibula, or medial malleolus usually fractures before the syndesmosis ligaments rupture
Classification based on position of foot at the time of injury and force on ankle leading to fracture:

People struggling with back and neck pain can become used to the administration of narcotic pain medications (also referred to as opioids). All narcotic agents have a dissociative effect that helps patients manage pain. While they do not actually deaden the pain, they do work to dissociate patients from the discomfort. Commonly used narcotics include Codeine, Hydrocodone, and Oxycodone.
Indirect injuries usually involved twisting of the foot such as the rotational force on a downward pointing forefoot.
A lumbar fracture is a break in one of the bones of the lower back. Lumbar fractures range in severity. Severe fractures can damage the spinal cord.
Tight lumbar? Sore knees? Overworked rotator cuff? At this point in our active lives, we've all got some nagging pang that holds us back from burning as much fat and calories as possible. For me, it was overdoing it in a kickboxing class that inflamed a hip joint. For you it might have been a benign-looking yoga posture. Regardless, there's a lot you can do to prevent the pain before it starts, especially as you age.
It is significant to enquire about the amount of force for the injury, because fractures sustained from low impact or weak forces may be an indication of osteoporosis (Ralston and McInnes, 2014). There are some indications that allow radiographic evaluation of ankle injuries which is known as Ottawa Ankle Rules. These includes patient inability to bear weight both immediately after injury or in the Emergency Department, the tenderness over the fifth metatarsal base, and the bone tenderness over posterior edge, distal or tip 6cm of the lateral and medial malleolus. Thus, a complete ankle standard series of radiograph examination are Anterior-posterior (AP) view, Lateral view and AP mortise view. In most cases, an AP view projection of the ankle is enough for the radiologist to diagnose the patient’s
