CAUSES OF INJURY:
Injuries occur in two ways;
1. Extrinsically or 2. Intrinsically
Either as a result of
external force from outside your
body or
internal force from inside your body.
An externally caused injury might
involve someone bumping into
you, impacting on your body to
cause a fracture or dislocation.
Most common in contact sports.
Extrinsic Forces
Impact injuries are common in invasion sports
There are two types, Impact with;
• Someone , tackle, collision, punch, kick or
• Something, hockey stick/ball, landing hard,
running into a post.
These cause bruises, sprains, fractures, dislocations
or concussion.
INTRINSIC INJURIES
Internally, sudden movements can strain
and tear soft tissue, muscle fibres and
tendons, or damage ligaments, something
that’s also possible from overtraining.
Chronic injuries arise when a condition is left
untreated.
OVERUSE AND CHRONIC INJURIES
Overuse injuries;
• As the name implies these are caused by
using a part of the body again and again and
include tennis or golf elbow., both count as
repetitive strain injuries or RSI
• Initially these can be eased with RICE
Chronic injuries
• These happen when this type of injury is not
treated or given time to heal.
Types of injuries we are going to be
examining….
•
•
•
•
Concussion
Sprains
Fractures
Dislocations
COMMON TYPES OF INJURY
1. Fractures:
a crack or a break in a bone or bones
Closed
- when the bone breaks but stays inside the skin.
Open
- when the bone breaks and comes out
through the skin.
2. Dislocation
when the bones of a joint are wrenched apart
3. Torn Cartilage
which tears, often in the knee and can 'lock' the joint
COMMON TYPES OF INJURY
4. Concussion
– shaking/bruising to the brain
• Caused by impact to the head, often
knocking the person unconscious
COMMON TYPES OF
INJURY
Soft tissue injuries: treated with RICE
Sprains - when ligaments are overstretched or torn around a joint,
eg twisted or sprained ankle.
Strains - when a muscle or tendon is overstretched or torn,
eg pulled muscle.
Bruises - caused when blood vessels burst under the skin following
impact.
Pulled/torn muscles damage to fibres
Skin damage:
• Cuts - caused by impact with a sharp object.
• Grazes and blisters - caused by friction or rubbing.
Sprains

Fractures
Two types of fractures:
• Simple/closed:
Bone has broken under
the skin.
• Compound/open
fractures.
The bone is broken
through the skin.
•
•
•
•
Signs & Symptoms:
Pain
Swelling
Could hear a grating
noise
• Deformity
• Blood if it is a open
fracture
Treatment of a fracture
• Treatment of a
Simple fracture:
• Call 999, support the
injured part – take to
hospital.
• DO NOT MOVE
CASUALITY IN
BOTH CASES!
• Treatment of a
Compound fracture:
– Call 999 cover the site
with a sterile dressing
to prevent blood loss.
Apply pressure to stop
bleeding BUT NOT
ON THE BONE!!!

Dislocations
• Dislocations are:
• Dislocations occur at
joints where the bone
comes away from the
socket.
• Signs & Symptoms:
• Pain in the injured area.
• Loss of movement to the
injured area
• Swelling
• Deformity of the area
• Warmth to the area
• Bruising or discolouration
• Redness.
Treatment of Dislocation
• Treatment:
• Call 999 for an
ambulance
• Keep them warm to
prevent shock
occurring.
• Immobilise neck and
dislocated shoulder
with padded splints or
sling.
• DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO REPOSITION

BONE!!!!
