Tissue Injuries in Sports

Cell Tissue Cell: smallest structural unit of living matter capable of functioning independently Tissue: A collection of cells in an organism that have similar structure and function Cell->Tissue->Organ->Organ System ->Organism
3
Layers of Skin
4
The Two Main Layers of Skin
The upper barrier layer (epidermis) The epidermal layers provide the barrier layer, which resists bacterial entry and prevents fluid and electrolyte loss. The lower, much thicker, dermis. The dermis is well vascularized (veins, arteries, and capillaries) and also contains receptors for touch, temperature and pain.
5
Sports and soft tissue injuries:
About 95 percent of sports injuries are due to minor trauma involving soft tissue injuries -- bruises, muscle pulls, sprains, strains, and cuts or abrasions.
6
Soft Tissue Injuries
7
Puncture Wound
8
How are puncture wounds different?
There are two risks with puncture wounds. First, a wound infection can occur because of dirt pushed deep into the skin by the object (typically a nail) puncturing the tissue.
9
Puncture Wounds The second problem that can occur is an infection of the bone. If a nail penetrates deep into the foot, it can hit a bone and introduce bacteria into the bone.
10
Puncture Wound This risk is especially great if the nail has gone through a pair of tennis shoes. The foam in tennis shoes can harbor a bacteria (Pseudomonas) that can lead to serious infection in the tissues.

Laceration Vs. Puncture Wound
13
Laceration Laceration: A cut.
15
Incision A surgical cut.
16
Abrasion is a wearing away of the upper layer of skin as a result of applied friction force. In dentistry an "abrasion" is the wearing away of the tooth substance.
17
Abrasion An open wound, road burn, or rug burn in which the outer layer of skin has been scraped off.
18
Corneal Abrasion
19
Blister A bubble like collection of fluid beneath or within the epidermis of the skin.
20
Callus 1. A localized firm thickening of the upper layer of skin as a result of repetitive friction. 2. The hard new bone substance that forms in an area of bone fracture. Bony callus is part of the bone repair process.

23
Sprains About one-third of all sports injuries are classified as sprains, a partial or complete tear of a ligament – Ligament- a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that connects the ends of bones and stabilizes the joint.
24
Tendon vs. Ligament
25
Signs and Symptoms of a Sprain
a feeling that a joint is "loose" or unstable inability to bear weight because of pain loss of motion the sound or feeling of a "pop" or "snap" when the injury occurred swelling (edema) Sometimes ecchymosis will appear several days later.

Strains A strain is a partial or complete tear of a muscle or tendon.
Muscle tissue is made up of cells that contract and make the body move. A tendon consists of tough connective tissue that attaches muscles to bones

Strain
30
Contusions - The most common sports injury is a contusion, or bruise –
a result of a blunt injury causes underlying bleeding in a muscle or other soft tissues.

Treatment Treatment for soft tissue injuries usually consists of R.I.C.E. Rest, Ice, Compression (wrapping with elastic bandages), and Elevation of the injured arm, hand, leg or foot. P.R.I.C.E.S. –Protection….Support
36
Sports and Skeletal injuries:
A sudden, violent collision with another player, an accident with sports equipment, or a severe fall can cause skeletal injuries in the athlete, including fractures. Fractures constitute a low 5 to 6 percent of all sports injuries. Most of these breaks occur in the arms and legs. Rarely are the spine and skull fractured.
37
Dislocation
38
Dislocation A dislocation is a separation of two bones where they meet at a joint. A dislocated bone is no longer in its normal position. A dislocation may also cause ligament or nerve damage or blood vessel damage.
39
Dislocation
40
Subluxation Subluxation: Partial dislocation of a joint. A complete dislocation is a luxation.
41
Bone Fracture bone fracture is a medical condition in which a bone is cracked or broken.

Skeletal Fracture
45
Bony Callus Formation 1. Hematoma forms at break
2. Fibrocartilaginous callus will fill the space 3. Bony callus formed by osteoblasts. 4. Osteoblasts build new compact bone and osteoclasts create new medullary cavity.

Reduction Returning displaced or dislocated bones to their normal location

49
Stress Fracture Stress fractures occur frequently because of continuing overuse of a joint. The main symptom of a stress fracture is pain. The most frequent places stress fractures occur are the tibia (the larger leg bone below the knee), fibula (the outer and thinner leg bone below the knee), and foot.

Stress Fracture
51
Grades of Injury A first degree sprain is a tear of a minimum number of fibers of the ligament. A second degree sprain is a partial rupture and a disruption of more fibers but with some instability. A total rupture is a complete disruption of the ligament resulting in joint instability. It is a very severe injury and is also referred to a third degree sprain.
52
Grades The varying grades of sprain can be compared to a stretch of a thick rubber band that is put on a sustained or increasing stretch. Starting with the tear of a few individual fibers more and more fibers give way, till the rubber band tears across totally.

SPORTS INJURIES
61
Chronic and Acute Chronic injuries are caused by continuous stress over a long period of time i.e. Golfers elbow, tennis elbow, shin splints Acute are caused by sudden stress i.e. Fractures, strains, sprains, concussion
62
How to prevent injuries
Use correct equipment / clothing Environment Correct technique Rules / officials Warm up / cool down Equal opponents
63
Soft Tissue OPEN or CLOSED
Open – skin damaged i.e. Cuts, blisters, grazes Closed – no external bleeding i.e. Bruises, strains, sprains, dislocations, cartilage damage
64
Hard Tissue Bone damage OPEN (compound) or CLOSED (simple)
Usually accompanied by bruising and swelling (vessel damage) Lots of pain (damaged nerves)
65
Stress Fractures Most bone injuries are acute
Stress fracture is Chronic and is a crack along the length of the bone Shin splints are a form of stress fractures.
66
Categories of injuries
SOFT TISSUE / HARD TISSUE OPEN / CLOSED ACUTE / CHRONIC Examples A closed hard tissue injury… An open soft tissue injury… A closed soft tissue injury… An acute soft tissue injury… A chronic hard tissue injury…
67
Treatment – soft tissue
Rest – stop immediately Ice – blood vessels contract to stop further swelling Compression – reduce swelling (not too tight) Elevation – blood flow reduced as working against gravity
68
Prevention Procedures for Blood-Borne Pathogens
Hepatitis B Virus Immunization All persons with potential exposure to blood-borne pathogens Protective Equipment Gloves Eye guards Masks Gowns Resuscitation devices Personal Hygiene Hand washing Towelettes No application of cosmetics Disinfection Disinfect all surfaces Biohazardous containers Sharps Linen Disposable No eating at work stations
