. DISLOCATIONS

 The shoulder is one of the most prevalent sites where an


athlete might have an acute dislocation. The shoulder is the
body's most movable joint. Dislocation occurs when the
humerus (upper arm bone) head is driven out of the
shoulder socket. It's possible that the joint appears to be out
of place, bruised, swollen, or difficult to move in some
way.Experts recommend immobilizing the joint and not
manipulating it if you observe a dislocation in this or any
other joint. You should also apply ice to the affected area,
take painkillers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, and
seek medical attention as soon as possible.

FRACTURES

A fracture is a break in a bone that occurs as a result of a sudden traumatic event. An open fracture
occurs when a bone breaks through the skin. Stress fractures are long-term fractures that do not result
in acute injury. It's possible that a bone fracture will produce severe pain, deformity, bruising or swelling,
as well as trouble moving.5Always seek medical attention as soon as possible if you suspect a fracture. If
a splint is available, restrain movement and mobilize

the limb and freeze it. To avoid infection, try to cover the wound if it has broken. If sterile bandages are
available, use them.It will be determined if the bone is shattered or if there is another acute injury by a
medical examination.

KNEE INJURIES

Acute knee injuries include meniscus, tendon, or ligament injuries, however there are many different
forms of knee injuries that can arise as a result of sports engagement. A popping or clicking sound, pain,
weakness, or a buckling sensation are all possible symptoms.7For acute sports injuries, cold and
compression are frequently used.8 The PRICE approach provides an easy way to remember how to apply
the treatment. PRICE stands for "Protect," "Rest," "Ice," "Compression," "Elevation," and "Protect" It's
also known as the RICE approach, although it doesn't include "protection," which is a crucial step in
preventing injuries on the field.

TIPS
apply ice to the injured area for 20 minutes every two hours for the first 48-72 hours. Compression – apply a firm
elastic bandage over the area, extending above and below the painful site. Elevation – raise the injured area above
the level of the heart at all times. Referral – as soon as possible, see a doctor.

Sprains and Strains

Sprains and strains are soft tissue injuries that can affect the knee, ankle, or elbow, as
well as other parts of the body. However, the tissues that are involved are a little
different.A ligament sprain is an injury to the tissue that links two or more bones at a
joint, such as a stretch or tear.A muscle or tendon that has been strained or torn is
known as a strain (tissue that connects muscle to bone).Because the symptoms of a
sprain or strain are similar, it's possible you won't be able to tell which one you've had.
Pain, edema, and limited joint movement are all signs of a sprain. Muscle spasms,
cramping, and sprain-like symptoms are all signs of a strain. In the event that you're not
sure what you

Rotator Cuff Injuries

The rotator cuff is a set of shoulder muscles and tendons that wrap around the humerus's head (the
upper end of the arm bone). The tendon attachment to the head of the humerus is weaker when the
rotator cuff tear is large.11 This can be the consequence of an acute injury or chronic use.12 This can be
the result of an acute injury or chronic use.Rotator cuff injuries are extremely painful when they occur as
a result of a sudden accident (such as a fall). It's also possible that your arm will shatter and become
weak right away.

Cuts and Abrasions

A fall while running, biking, rollerblading, or indulging in any fitness activity can easily result in cuts and
abrasions. Minor scrapes, blisters, and small punctures, as well as more serious lacerations and artery
wounds that can be life-threatening, are all examples of bleeding or open wounds.

TEACH A COURSE 9
Treatment for Chronic Injuries

While the most dramatic sports injuries are acute, the majority of sports injuries come on gradually. Pain
from overuse injuries tends to have vague symptoms that develop slowly. What begins as a small,
nagging ache or pain can grow into a debilitating injury if it isn't recognized and treated early.
