Recognizing Different Sports Injuries
Chapter Overview- Fractures may be classified as either greenstick, transverse, oblique, spiral, comminuted, impacted, avulsive, or stress.
-
Dislocations and subluxations are disruptions of the joint capsule and ligamentous structures surrounding the joint.
-
Ligament sprains involve stretching or tearing the fibers that provide stability at the joint.
-
Repeated contusions may lead to the development of myositis ossificans.
-
Muscle strains involve a stretching or tearing of muscle fibers and their tendons and cause impairment to active movement.
-
Muscle soreness may be caused by spasm, connective tissue damage, muscle tissue damage, or some combination of these factors.
-
Tendinitis, an inflammation of a muscle tendon that causes pain on movement, usually occurs because of overuse.
-
Tenosynovitis is an inflammation of the synovial sheath through which a tendon must slide during motion.
-
Bursitis is an inflammation of the synovial membranes located in areas in which friction occurs between various anatomical structures.
-
Osteoarthritis involves degeneration of the articular cartilage or subchondral bone.
-
A trigger point is an area of tenderness in a tight band of muscle that develops from some mechanical stress to the muscle.
-
The three phases of the healing process, the inflammatory response phase, the fibroblastic repair phase, and the maturation-remodeling phase, occur in sequence but overlap one another in a continuum.
