Soft tissue injuries
Research and Review
1
Describe
the
differences
between a sprain and
a strain.
2
Explain
the acute
inflammatory
response.
3
Outline
the aims of the immediate
management of soft-tissue injuries.
4
Identify
the problems that can sometimes
occur at the ‘ice’ and ‘compression’ stages of
the RICER procedure.
5
Explain
what actions should be avoided after
sustaining a soft-tissue injury.
6
Identify
the common management steps that
should be followed with skin injuries.
7
Clarify
when a skin injury requires professional
medical attention
.Slide2
Fracture typesSlide3
Fracture typesSlide4
Types of fractures - table
SSSlide5
Simple (closed):-Bone breaks but remains under the skinCompound (open) :-
Bone breaks and protrudes through the skin
Other types : Greenstick, oblique,
comminuted
, depressed, transverse, spiral, longitudinal, serrated
Types of fracturesSlide6
Signs and symptoms of fractures
The signs and symptoms of a fracture include:
• pain at the site of the injury
• inability to move the injured part
• unnatural movement of the injured part
• deformity of the injured part
• swelling and discolouration
• grating of bones.Slide7
Management of Fractures
Use
of DRSABCD
Controlling bleeding
Treating shock
Use of a splint and bandage to immobilise the area – to restrict movement in the injured area
Immediate medical assistanceSlide8
Dislocations
The bone is displaced, it comes out of the joint and remains out until physically reinserted
Needs to be put back in by a qualified practitioner as more damage can occur if the placement is incorrect
Subluxation
dislocations momentarily ‘pop out’ then return quickly to place. The joint will be vulnerable, require
rehabilitation and possibly surgery
Subluxation
dislocationSlide9
Signs and symptoms of dislocations
Signs and symptoms of dislocation include:
• loss of movement at the joint
• obvious deformity
• swelling and tenderness
• pain at the injured site.Slide10
Management of Dislocations
Management requires:
Securing with a splint to fully immobilise the injury
Ice, elevation and support using a bandage
Immediate medical attention
Never attempt to relocate the displaced bone as this might increase the damageSlide11
Assessment of injuries
TOTAPS
Talk – find out what exactly happened.
Observe – look for signs of deformity or swelling. Compare both sides of the body.
Touch – Gently feel the injury for signs of swelling or deformity and pinpoint pain.
Active movement - ask player to perform a range of movements e.g. flexion, extension, rotation.
Passive movement – assessor physically mobilises the joint to identify area of pain and joint instability.
Skills test – player is asked to perform a skill that is required during the game e.g. a sidestep. If they can do it, they can return to play.Slide12
Assessment can be stopped at any stage if damage is apparent; for example, if the player feels pain. Should there be a risk of further damage through continued play, the player should be removed from the game
