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.
