CHAPTER 13
Recognizing Different Sports Injuries
OVERVIEW
Individuals working with athletes can try their best to prevent injury, but due
to the nature of sports, injuries will eventually occur. These injuries can be
classified as either acute or chronic with further classification depending on the
specific structures involved. Acute injuries include fractures, dislocations,
contusions, sprains, and strains. Overuse, or chronic injuries include stress
fractures, tendinitis, and bursitis.
Each of these types of injuries must go through a healing process. The three
stages of this process are the same for every injury, but the time it takes for each
injury will vary depending on the type and severity. Little can be done to increase
the amount of time it takes to go through these stages. However the healing
environment can be improved so that the body can do its job.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After studying Chapter 13, the student will be able to:
Differentiate between acute and chronic injury.
Describe acute traumatic injuries including fractures, dislocations and
subluxations, contusions, ligament sprains, muscle strains, muscle soreness, and
nerve injuries.
Describe chronic overuse injuries involving tendinitis, tenosynovitis, bursitis,
osteoarthritis, and myofascial trigger points.
Explain the various phases of the healing process.
KEY TERMINOLOGY
Acute injury - Immediate injury cause by a trauma
Articular cartilage - The layer that covers the joint surfaces of long bones
Avulsion Fracture Separation of a bone fragment from its cortex at an
attachment of a ligament or tendon
Callus New bone formation over a fracture site
Chronic injury - An injury that results from overuse caused by repetitive activity
Closed fracture - Classification of a fracture in which there is little or no
displacement of broken bones
Comminuted Fractures Consist of three or more fragments at the fracture site
Contusion Another name for a bruise
Dislocation - Occurs when at least one bone in a joint (articulation) is forced
completely out of its normal position and must be manually or surgically reduced
Greenstick Fracture Incomplete beaks in bones that have not completely ossified
Impacted Fractures Compression of a long bone that causes one part of the bone
to telescope on the other part of the bone

CLASS ACTIVITIES
1. Allow the class to view various illustrations and images of the differences in the
types of tissues and how their locations may lead to injury.
2. Have an orthopedic physician come and talk about the different types of injuries
and what some possible complications are if they not correctly treated.
3. Obtain blinded samples of X-rays from a radiologist to demonstrate the different
types of fractures. Present them to the class to see if they can identify the
fracture.

Short Answer
12.Acute onset and delayed onset
13.Tension, compression, bending, twisting (torsion), and shear
14.A callus is formed by osteoblasts over the fracture site. Osteoclasts reshape the
bone until it looks and functions as it did prior to injury.
15.When a dislocation occurs, one of the bones that form the joint is forced out of
its normal alignment and must be reduced manually or surgically. When a
subluxation occurs, one of the bones is partially forced out of its alignment;
however the joint spontaneously reduces without any other intervention.
16.Grade 1 - some stretching and separation, Grade 2 - some tearing and
separation, Grade 3 -total tearing.
17.Inflammation initiates the healing process.

Inflammatory response phase: begins immediately after injury. This is the
most critical phase of the healing process. During this phase, phagocytic
cells clean up the mess created by the injury. During this phase, the injured
area is characterized by redness, swelling, tenderness, increased
temperature and loss of function. Usually lasts 2-4 days following initial
injury.
Fibroblastic repair phase: proliferation and regeneration activity leads to scar
formation and repair of the injured tissue. Period of scar formation =
fibroplasia, begins within the first few hours following injury and may last for
as long as 4-6 weeks.
