Dr. Greg Vigna, a Board Certified specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and a life care planner, states, “Hip drop tackles are probably the most dangerous tackle in football. This led to a ban of the tackle before the 2024 football season. It occurs when the defender grabs the offensive player high, intends to tackle them, unwinds their body, and takes them down on their side.”
Dr. Vigna continues, “The injuries it causes include damage to the medial malleolus, the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament, rupture of the interosseous ligament, rupture of the posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament, and a proximal fibular fracture.”
