  1. Basics of Tissue Injury

  2. Injury Types Soft Tissue Bone Injuries Affects Skeletal system Fractures Dislocations • Affects Skin, muscle, ligaments, and tendons, and nerves • When soft tissue is injured it may: • Bleed • Become inflamed • Produce extra fluid

  3. Types of Soft Tissue Injuries Sprains Strains Bleed Internally Injury to muscle or tendon • Bleed internally • Injury to ligaments • Sprains and strains are categorized in order of severity. • First Degree – No loss of motion in the injured area, stability intact • Second Degree – Some loss of motion, some signs of instability • Third Degree – Cannot move affected body part, and major instability

  4. Incision Open wound made by a cutting instrument. Very straight and clean cut Not seen often in athletics

  5. Abrasion Scraping off a layer of skin May or not bleed, depending on the amount of skin removed.

  6. Contusion Closed wound Also known as a “Bruise” Causes bleeding under the skin, causing swelling and discoloration

  7. Laceration Jagged, Irregular open wound Caused by something irregular

  8. Avulsion Partial tearing away of a body part Can be opened or closed

  9. Amputation Open wound in which a part is completely cut away from the body. Traumatic or Surgical

  10. Puncture Injury occurs when a pointed object enters the body. Do not bleed much More likely to become infected

  11. Contrecoup Occurs on opposite side of initial injury. Usually occurs in the brain when the head hits an unyielding object The impact forces the brain against the opposite side

  12. Stages of soft tissue healing • Stage I: Acute inflammation • Increased flow of blood to the injured area bring cells and chemicals to begin healing. • Phagocytes – specialize in eating up the dead cells • Leukocytes – infection fighting WBC’s • Platelets – carry blood clotting material • This stage lasts for approx. 2-3 days.

  13. Stages of soft tissue healing • Stage II: Repair • Injured area is filled with blood, cells, and chemicals to aid in repairing damaged tissue. • Fibroblasts begin building fibers across the area of injury • Form the scar which can take from 6 weeks to as long as 3 months

  14. Stages of soft tissue healing • Stage III: Remodeling • Body’s way of building tissue strength in tendons, muscles, and ligaments to withstand stress. • Can take up to a year or more

  15. Healing Time • Depends on several factors. • Severity of injury • Location and blood supply • Age • Nutrition • Illnesses (ie. Diabetes) • Medications • Infections

  16. Complications • Scar Tissue • Necessary component • Excessive scar tissue can delay healing • Not as pliable as normal tissue • May develop inside of joint, requiring surgical removal • Too early of a return to activity • Causing further cellular damage

  17. Types of Bone Injuries

  18. Dislocation Occurs when a force displaces bone so that the two bone ends in the same joint no longer line up. Cause deformity and pain Not easily moved Subluxation: is a slight dislocation that might return back to previous position without tx. A temporary Dislocation

  19. Avulsion Fracture A ligament or tendon pulls so hard at its attachment that a portion of the bony is torn away. Common with Sprains, strains, and dislocations

  20. Stress Fracture Also known as Fatigue Fracture Occurs where there is a repetitive stress. Microscopic and may not be picked up on a x-ray Incomplete fracture

  21. Spiral Fracture Torsional force along the length of a bone. Ex: foot moves to the right while the rest of your body goes to the left.

  22. Longitudinal Fracture A Fx that runs the length of the bone. Usually caused by impact. Ex: Basketball hits tip of finger

  23. Compression Fracture Opposing forces are applied from both ends at the same time. Commonly occur in the spine, due to landing on feet from a height. (Impact from ground is one force, body weight is the other)

  24. Oblique Fracture Diagonal fracture from one side to the other.

  25. Comminuted Crushing injury, breaking bone into smaller pieces.

  26. Greenstick Fracture Bones bend and fracture only partway through. Children’s bones have cartilage like qualities.

  27. Transverse Fracture Fracture that travels across a bone, perpendicular. Ex. Falling on a stick

  28. Depressed Fracture Direct impact to the skull, which indents. This indent is called a depression

  29. Blowout Fracture Occurs when the eye is pushed hard backwards and down into the eye socket. Small bones under the eye are crushed and embedded into the muslces of the eye.

  30. Pathological Fracture Disease process weakens the bone Tumor

  31. Epiphyseal Fracture Fracture that occurs where bone growth occurs, the Epiphysis. Once growth plates are closed bone is uniformly strong.

  32. Stages of Healing Bone Fracture Healing

  33. Bone Fracture Healing • Stage I: Acute • Bone breaks, and bleeding occurs. • Osteogenesis – Process of laying down new bone • Oseoclasts begin to remove the debris and resorb it into body. • Osteoblasts add new layers to the outside of the bone. • Continues for approx. 4 days

  34. Bone Fracture Healing • Stage II: Repair • Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts continue to regenerate bone. • Bony splint, called a fibrous Callus, holds the bone ends together. • Process of turning callus into bone begins about week 3 and continues for 3 months. • Usually able to return to activity around 6-8 weeks.

  35. Bone Fracture Healing • Stage III: Remodeling • Callus is reabsorbed and replaced with a fibrous cord of bone • Can take several years to complete. • If bone never heals, it is referred to as a Nonunion FX. • Most common in the Scaphoid bone in the wrist. • Leads to arthritis and loss of function
