common injury
Typical bodily damage
A common injury is one that occurs frequently in a particular context—sports, workplaces, or everyday life.
The phrase appears often in medical and safety literature: Sprains and strains are common injuries in basketball.
It can also describe injuries that are unremarkable or routine rather than rare or unusual: The ER sees common injuries like cuts and bruises all day.
