If you have injury problems that get worse the heavier you lift, and you still want to include squats, pre-exhaust the muscle group you are training.
For example if you are training legs and you still want to do squats but too heavy causes your injuries to act up simply work backwards.
Start with, say leg extentions, like 4 sets of 15 to failure. Then go to the leg press and do another 4 sets of 15 or so to failure. Then squat. You will, probably, be able to handle about 50-60% of the normal weight you could if you did squats first. Lighten the weight, which should protect the injuries, and do 4 more sets of 15. Your body doesn't know what weight you are squatting it only knows you are working to failure. If you try this and still have too much pain forget squats all together.
This can be done with any bodypart.

i still back squat but not not every single week for the most part. i switch out with various specialty bars, belt squats various machine squats etc..... i like as much variety as possible in my leg training for my focus movements and to keep my back from being all fucked up all the time. and yes mine is pretty much 100% destroyed already
