    1. his gait (manner of walking) was examined, Palpation,a Squeeze test,External rotation test, hook test, heel rise test or stabilization tests, if any of these tests produced pain in the syndesmosis that would mean that he did indeed sustain the injury mentioned.

      Please revise this sentence. I would suggest breaking it up into smaller sentences as it is not very clear.

    2. how he is responding to the treatment

      Remember that ROM identifies the amount of movement the patient has around a joint but they could have a good ROM and the surrounding muscles may still be weak. There are many factors that affect the recovery process. Don't forget to mention this.

    3. apart from the Syndesmotic ligament tear he also sustained a severe capsular ligament injury and had to undergo surgery and recover for three months.

      Did this occur at the same time as the syndesmotic ligament tear? Are they related? Where did this injury occur? This sentence confuses this whole section so please try and make this more clear.

    4. This was his 9th injury which includes hip injuries,illnesses and mostly ankle injuries.

      Please review the sentence structure. Maybe separate the ideas by saying, "This was his 9th injury; previously he has had X injuries..." I hope this makes sense to you.

    5. 3 by joining

      Are you sure that the age is correct here? I can't find any information about Stindl joining a club at the young age of 3 - please double check that you haven't possible made an error here.

      Also, I would suggest saying: "...3 AFTER joining the club..." Otherwise it implies that he only started playing football when he joined the club. You just need to clear this up, please.

    6. it just depends on

      I think saying that the only thing that differs is the severity/extent of the injury would sound better in this sentence. You are already making a claim that injuries will always happen so when you say it "depends on", it sounds as though you are sure at one point and then not so sure further on in the sentence. I would say, "...athlete's career, the only thing that differs is the severity of the injury."

    7. most traumatic experience for an athlete is an injury, not because of the injury itself

      I don't fully agree with this statement because some athlete's sustain exceptionally bad injuries where that is the most prominent worry. I would suggest saying, "...not JUST because of the injury itself..." This allows the reader to identify that although the injury is traumatic, another traumatic experience is being on the sidelines.

    1. acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular

      Please place the abbreviations for the words "acromioclavicular" and "sternoclavicular" in brackets after writing the words out before using the abbreviations later on in the paragraph.

    2. resulted from his fall on the ground writhing in pain after his left shoulder got caught underneath the opposing team captain Sergio Ramos

      This should be the start of a new sentence and please ensure that structure is correct.

    3. occurs for 97% first time dislocation. caused

      Sentence structure here is incorrect. I'd rather say: "...which occurs 97% of the time in first time shoulder dislocations AND is caused by..."

    4. It is more common due to trauma in a direction of a posterolateral force on the shoulder.

      The phrasing of this sentence does not make sense to me. Are you trying to say that postero-lateral dislocations are common due to trauma? Are they the most common type of dislocations? How does this relate to your athlete and his injury?

    5. The player started playing football for fun, but he started taking it as a serious carrier opportunity when he joined a local youth club ‘El Mokawloon’ in Cairo.

      As I mentioned before, I would suggest that you use the athlete's surname instead of describing him as "the player". Please have a look at your choice of wording as well. I would recommend that you say, "but started taking it serious as a career opportunity..."

    6. This assignment will be divided into subtopics with introduction and conclusion included, it will focus on the players profile with relevant demographic information, the mechanism of injury and anatomy involved, precautions and contraindications to his injury, the aim of management at each stage of rehabilitation process and the instructions.

      This is what I was talking about in the review that I posted in the comments section. I would rather suggest that you give a brief summary about the athlete. You can mention the fact that they've been playing for X amount of years and that this injury has damaged/slowed down their career. You can say something about how you will design a programme that will help with their rehabilitation from the beginning of the injury until the point at which they can continue their activity, etc.

    7. This is an assignment about Mohamed Salah an international soccer player

      You don't have to mention the fact that this is an assignment. I would rather say, "This assignment is about ..." Also, don't forget about punctuation. A comma should be placed after the athlete's surname. "...Salah, an..."

    1. There are several surgical procedures available including mini-arthrotomy open technique, two-incision arthroscopically assisted techniques, and one incision endoscopic technique. Currently, ACL reconstruction is most often performed using an arthroscopically assisted technique. The most frequently used graft types for ACL reconstruction are the patellar tendon (PT) and the combined semitendinosis and gracilis tendons (HT). For the past two decades, the gold standard in ACL reconstructions has been the patellar tendon graft from the middle third of the tendon, but increasingly the hamstring tendon graft has been used. The shift in popularity is due to several reasons, including, concerns about damaging the knee extensor apparatus using the PT and the potential for subsequent anterior knee pain, patella fracture, ligament rupture, and infrapatella contraction. The HT techniques also have potential complications including tunnel widening and fixation and concerns of the affects on the muscle function.

      Rewrite in your own words please.

    2. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) lies in the middle of the knee. It arises from the anterior intercondylar area of the tibia and extends superiorly, posteriorly, and laterally to attach to the posterior part of the medial side of the lateral condyle of the femur. The ligament is intra-articular but extrasynovial. The ACL is composed of 3 main bundles. These bundles include the anteromedial, posterolateral, and intermediate. The ACL really functions as a continuum, with a portion being tight through all ranges of knee flexion. It acts as the primary restraint to anterior tibial translation and guides the screw-home mechanism associated with knee extension. The ACL acts secondarily to prevent varus and valgus, particularly in the extended knee. Injury leads to abnormal kinematics of the knee.

      Rewrite in your own words please.

    3. The treatment of ACL tear is surgical and non-surgical that is physical therapy which helps restore normal functioning of the injured part.

      Lack of punctuation is making the sentence difficult to understand. "The treatment of AN ACL tear can be surgical or non-surgical; non-physical treatment being..." Use this as a guideline to correct this sentence.

    4. However more information came to light proving that the right anterior cruciate ligament is torn. And the proposed time for recovery is six to nine weeks.

      This needs to be one sentence. You can't use AND as the beginning of a new sentence. How did the new information come to light? Were there further tests done or did the pain worsen for the athlete? This doesn't make sense and needs some clarification.

    5. anterior cruciate ligament

      If you write out the first letter of each word in capital, you can use the abbreviation ACL for the duration of your essay. E.g. "Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)

    6. France he was having a good game and PSG was on the lead.

      You need to backup that he was "having a good time". What was he doing? How do you know this?

      You also need to write PSG out fully because some people may not understand what it means. And they were, "...IN the lead."

    7. Dani is a player who respects other players thus during the Coupe de France he did not get any card.

      You have to backup the fact that you are saying he respects other players. That is a very personal opinion and unless backed up, you shouldn't mention this. I don't think this sentence is necessary for this section because it doesn't add any value to what you are trying to say. Performance prior to injury focuses more on emotional and physical state - previous injuries or a display of aggression, etc.

    8. in a better form

      A better form compared to when? Are you saying that he was in a poor form at some point, or are you trying to say that in general he was in a good form for the duration of the competition? Please specify.

    9. Dani Alves played four matches on Coupe de France tournament of which two of them he played the full time and on the other two he was added during the match from the bench.

      "... IN THE Coupe de France tournament; two of which he played full-time and the other two of which he was tagged in from the bench."

    10. The information provided are mainly from different credible sources that will be listed at the end.

      This sentence is unnecessary and the structure is incorrect. You could remove it completely or change the sentence structure.

    11. The following is an assignment mainly focused on the football player Dani Alves

      I would rather say, "The follow assignment mainly focuses on..." We already know that it is an assignment so you are just adding unnecessary words here.
