Sprains, Strains, Fractures

Synovial joints are best described as

• Cartilaginous

• Freely Movable

• Fixed

• Fibrous

The PRIMARY concern with open fractures is

• Crowd control

• Pain

• Infection

• Loss of playing time

What is the purpose or function of bursa sacs? *

• Increase friction

• Increase strength

• Reduce friction

• Decrease strength

Most joints injuries in sports medicine occur to this type of joint:

• Synovial

• Fibrous

• Ball and socket

The severity of a sprain or strain (either Grade 1, 2, or 3) is dependent on

• The gender of the athlete

• The sport being played

• The amount of tissue damage that occurs

• How fast an athlete was running

Where are stress fractures MOST LIKELY to occur? *

• Tibia (lower leg)

• Humerus (upper arm)

• Radius (forearm)

Closed fractures

• Break through the skin

• Are more likely to become infected

• Will never show a deformity

• Do not break through the skin

These types of fractures are too small to be seen initially on x-rays.

• Avulsion fracturers

• Stress fractures

• Open fractures

• Closed fractures
