Injuries of the MuscularSkeletal System
Basic Injury Types
 Fractures
 Dislocations
 Sprains
 Strains
 Contusions
(Bruises)
Fractures

A bone can be
broken by a direct
force or repetitive
indirect force.
 Fractures can be
clean or splinterystraight, on an angle
or in a twist.
Fractures


A fracture is usually
closed but can be openthis is called a
“Compound Fracture”.
Compound fractures are
dangerous because it
can get infected very
easily or could puncture
an organ.
Treatment of Fractures

Immobilize and send
to Hospital/ Dr.
possibly by
ambulance.
 X-ray to see what is
fractured.
 A Dr. will set and
cast or splint.
 Sometimes requires
surgery.
Dislocations



A joint is pulled,
pushed, or twisted
apart.
Causes great
damage to
ligaments that hold
the bones together.
More likely to
dislocate in the
future.
Dislocations

Shoulders are more
likely to dislocate
than other joints
because of the
circular motion they
can perform.
 Small joints (fingers)
are more likely to
dislocate because it
doesn’t take much
force to harm them.
Treatment of Dislocations

Must be set or
relocated by Dr. or
professional.
 Some dislocations
require surgery to fix
(elbows, patella).
 Rest, Ice after
relocation.
Sprains

Sprains are injuries
to the ligaments
around joints.
 A sprain can mean
the ligament is torn
completely or just
stretched.
 Occurs when a joint
is moved past it’s
limit.
Sprains

Often bruise and
swell.
 Uncomfortable or
unable to move the
joint.
 Any joint can sprain
but ankles occur
frequently.
Treatment of Sprains
 Rule
out
Fracture
 Rest
 Ice
 Compress
 Elevate
Strains



Strains are injuries to
muscles or tendons.
Occur when a muscle or
tendon has been
stretched too far or
when the muscle is
contracted and it is
resisted too hard.
If a muscle or tendon is
pulled hard enough it
can tear partially or
completely.
Treatment of Strains
Rule out complete
tear (rupture).
 Rest
 Ice
 Compression
 Elevation

Contusion






A contusion is a
bruise.
Occur when there is
injury that causes
internal broken blood
vessels in a body part.
Direct Force
Sprain or Strain
Fracture
Etc.
Treatment of Contusions

Usually go away on
their own. Will be
black/blue/purple
and fade to green or
yellow.
 Ice in a stretched
position for large
muscle.
 Light massage.
