Complex sprains among 9/11 victims and first responders
Sprains are the most reported type of injury for 9/11 survivors and disaster response personnel. Due to the 9/11 tragedy, rescue workers and clean-up crews were at high risk of sustaining injuries from falls, lifting heavy objects, or making quick, sudden movements under stress and pressure. Because of these unfortunate circumstances, sprains were common.
Additionally, 9/11 victims faced the possibility of sustaining complex sprains due to the chaos and panic during and after the terrorist attacks. While mild or minor sprains can heal on their own, complex sprains may require medical intervention, rehabilitation, and even potential surgical treatments to fully recover.
