Tissue Injuries Classification Why might it be difficult to classify an athlete’s injury?

Tissue Injuries Forces Pads? Compression Shear – parallel to plane Tension Torsion Pads?

Practice Demonstrate each of the forces using a sports “motion.” (must be different than the examples given in class – be creative) The class will guess what force is being demonstrated.

Acute vs. Chronic Injury

Bony Tissue Anatomy of a long bone (draw and label) Diaphysis Epiphysis Compact bone Young = cartilage = flexible Epiphyseal discs = still growing Forces naturally received?

Growth Plates

Demo/share 4 forces on the bones

Common Bone Injuries Fractures Spiral Greenstick Simple/Closed Avulsion Compound/Open Impacted Stress Fracture Depressed Transverse Comminuted Oblique Epiphyseal

Soft Tissues Types Anatomy Layered or many fibers High amounts of protein: collagen and elastin

SKIN Concerns Common Injuries Abrasion Laceration Puncture Blister Bruise
