    Injuries To Bone, Joint & Muscles-First Aid

    Uploaded by

    Shahini Prajapati
    This document discusses common injuries to bones, joints, and muscles. It defines strains as injuries to muscles and tendons from overextension, and sprains as injuries to ligaments that hold bones together. Fractures are breaks or cracks in bones, and dislocations involve the separation of a bone from its normal position at a joint. The document provides examples of different types of fractures like closed/open, complete/incomplete, greenstick, impacted, displaced, and transverse fractures. Treatment methods for fractures, sprains, and strains like splinting, slings, RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) are also outlined.

    INJURIES TO BONE, JOINT &

    MUSCLES
    BY SHAHINI PRAJAPATI
    Definition: a bone fracture is a medical
    condition where the continuity of bone is
    broken.
    Strain
    Sprain
    Fractures
    Dislocations
    Strains: occurs when muscles & tendons
    are over extended.
    Sprains: injuries to ligament that hold
    bones together.
    Fractures:breaks or cracks in bone.
    Dislocations: separation of bone from its
    normal position at a joint.
    Fractures
    Any breakage in the continuity is called
    as a fracture.
    Types:
    Closed or simple fracture:
    Open or compound fracture
    Classification of fracture based
    on severity of breakage:
    Complete or comminuted fracture
    Bone breaks into 2 or more pieces.
    Incomplete fracture
    Bone does not get broken
    At all.
    Greenstick fracture
    Bone breaks into one side & remains
    attached to other side to proved a bent to
    non-fractured side.
    Impacted fracture
    Bone pieces drive into each other at the
    time of fracture. Occurs in the wrist & hip
    bones.
    Displaced fracture
    The broken pieces of bone goes out of the
    alignment.
    Transverse fracture
    The bone breaks at the right axis of the
    long bone.
    Hairline fracture
    Small crack occurs due to repititive action
    like running.
     Sling: Most fractures will need to have a splint or partial
    cast applied to stabilize the broken bones. Some breaks
    especially in the upper arm and shoulder may
    only need to be immobilized in a sling.
    First aid splints
    sprain
    Stretching or tearing of ligaments.
    First aid:
    R: rest
    I: ice
    C: compression
    E: elevation
    Strains
    Stretching or tearing of muscle or
    tendons.
    Most commonly occur at the lower back
    & hamstring muscle(back of thigh)
    The main difference is that with
    a sprain you may have bruising around
    the affected joint, whereas with a strain,
    you may have spasms in the affected
    muscle.
