Common Athletic Injuries Fractures Breaking of bone We will look at two types of fractures, open and closed Open = skin being broken Closed = skin not broken

Common Athletic Injuries Open fractures Worse than closed fractures. Why? Risk of infection Cover wound Before splinting

Common Athletic Injuries

Closed Fractures Skin not broken Treated by splinting and sending off to doctor Always check distal pulse and capillary refill Immobilize

Common Athletic Injuries Capillary Refill This is used for testing blood flow in the distal extremities Pinch the finger/toe nail bed…turns white, then release, compare to unaffected side of the body

Common Athletic Injuries Fracture tests There are three fracture tests that we will look at 1. Visual deformity – this is pretty straight forward 2. Compression – push bones together, feel for crepititis and pain 3. Tap/Vibration test – use fingers, or tuning fork to test for fracture. If there is a fracture, vibrations will feel different.

Common Athletic Injuries Purpose of immobilization Decrease pain Prevent further damage to underlying tissues Reduce risk of bleeding/loss of circulation Prevent closed fracture from becoming open. The ground can temp. immobilize an injury

Common Athletic Injuries Splints A splint is a device that holds an injury in place Follow these principles: splint must immobilize above and below injury site; do not splint if it will cause too much pain discomfort; check circulation before and after splinting

Common Athletic Injuries There are 4 types of splints 1. Soft – triangular bandages, towels etc. 2. Rigid – Boards, metal, cardboard etc.. 3. Anatomical – use of body to immobilize 4. Traction – do not unless trained, or can hold traction until EMS arrives

Common Athletic Injuries L-R: rigid, soft, anatomical and traction

Common Athletic Injuries How to splint Support body part Cover open wounds Check circulation Pad splint so its shaped to injury Secure splint with triangular bandages Recheck circulation Elevate if possible

Common Athletic Injuries Slings 1. Cervical arm sling: Supports forearm, wrist, and hand. A triangular bandage is placed around the neck and under the bent arm that is to be supported. 2. Sling and swath: Stabilize arm securely in case of shoulder dislocation or fracture.

Common Athletic Injuries Sprained Ankle Very common on lateral side of the foot (inversion sprain) Tight heel end contributes to this injury One or two ligaments tend to be involved Balance and proproception may be worse in persons who have a history of ankle sprains – both factors are used in rehabilitation programs
