  1. Common Athletic Injuries Overuse Conditions & Fractures

  2. Today’s Objectives • To describe the distinguishing factors of overuse conditions • To discuss the common overuse conditions • To describe the mechanism of common overuse conditions • To identify fracture classification schemes

  3. Causes of Overuse Conditions • Intrinsic 1. Poor flexibility 2. Weakness (inadequate conditioning or rehabilitation) 3. Alignment (structure)

  4. Causes of Overuse Conditions • Extrinsic 1. Training errors 2. Equipment 3. Technique (skill mechanics)

  5. Common Overuse Conditions • Tendinitis • Bursitis • Synovitis

  6. Tendinitis • Definition • Review tendon structure 1. Strong, dense connective tissue 2. Callagenous tissue • Fatigues w/repetitive loading • Occurs at skeletal connection site

  7. Tendinitis • S/Sx 1. Insidious onset 2. Progression of condition 3. ?’s - changes in extrinsic factors 4. ?’s - activity that causes pain 5. Swelling, redness, warmth 6. Tenderness 7. Crepitus

  8. Tendinitis • Common sites 1. Lower extremity 2. Upper extremity

  9. Bursitis • Definition • Anatomy of “potential space” • Problem areas • Mechanism

  10. Bursitis • S/Sx 1. Insidious or acute onset 2. Vague Sx (local at onset) 3. Deep tenderness 4. ROM 5. Night pain

  11. Bursitis • Common sites 1. Lower extremity activities 2. Upper extremity activities

  12. Capsular Synovitis • Definition • Synovial membrane • Sx similar to bursitis, but more diffuse

  13. Capsular Synovitis • S/Sx 1. Insidious, subsequent joint injury 2. Pain throughout joint, even at rest 3. Redness, warmth, swelling 4. Guarding 5. NO specific area of tenderness 6. ROM limited

  14. Fracture Classifications • Factors: - 1. Location relative to rest of bone 2. Shape, direction & magnitude 3. Duration of onset • Lay terms/names

  15. Fracture Classifications Location 1. Diaphyseal (diaphysis) 2. Epiphyseal (epiphyseal line) 3. Articular fractures (articular cartilage)

  16. Fracture ClassificationsSeverity 1. Incomplete 2. Nondisplaced 3. Displaced

  17. Fracture ClassificationsShape • Depressed • Comminuted • Transverse • Compressive

  18. Fracture ClassificationsShape 5. Spiral 6. Greenstick

  19. Fracture Classification Other Avulsion

  20. Fracture ClassificationOther • Stress fractures (reactions) 1. Lower extremity 2. Initial findings nonspecific 3. Mimic soft tissue injuries 4. External stress

  21. Evaluation • Bump test • Percussion test • Squeeze test • Axial compression test

  22. Fracture Classification - Other
