Up to 10 people per week are having to go to a hospital with injuries as a result of playing Nintendo Wii games. As a result, doctors in Britain have issued alerts of the dangers associated with the gaming system. Most patients are hospitalized after playing tennis or running games which involve abrupt movements, resulting in tendon stretching or tearing.

Another common injury is dubbed Wii-knee, due to the bending of the knee from the Wii-Fit game.  It entails a special raised step and a series of movements ranging from yoga to strength-training moves. In rare cases, the kneecap can be dislocated or pop out of joint. Doctors treat Wii-knee with cortisone injections, icing, and anti-inflammatory painkillers. Treatment can last for 3 months. As with any exercise program, doctors advise stretching exercises before playing Wii games.
