What Causes Trouble To Bend And Touch Toes After Falling On Ground?

Today whe walking my dog at the park I slipped and fell hard on te ground with my left leg straight out in front of me almost as if I was doing the splits. I'm not very flexible I can barely touch my toes so I fear I may have hyperextended a part of my leg by hittin the ground hard an fast beyond what I can normally stretch

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
As per your history of injury while doing exercises there is possibility of partial rupture of hamstring/extensor tendon or muscle.
I will advise you to do Ultrasonography and if required MRI.

You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and matrix therapy will give quick healing of tissue.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
