    The document classifies and describes different types of sports injuries: - Acute/traumatic injuries result from a direct blow or impact and include ligament sprains, muscle strains, tendon injuries, fractures, dislocations, and injuries to articular cartilage, joints, growth plates, and bones. - Overuse/chronic injuries are caused by repetitive submaximal stresses over time and include tendonitis and muscle strains. - Both acute and overuse injuries can range from minor to complete tears and ruptures depending on the severity of the injury. Classification systems like the Salter-Harris system describe epiphyseal injuries.

    The passage discusses the classification and types of various sports injuries including ligament sprains, muscle strains, fractures and more.

    Sports injuries are classified as either acute/traumatic resulting from a single event or overuse/chronic injuries from repeated microtrauma. Acute injuries include ligament sprains, muscle strains, and tendon injuries.

    There are three grades of muscle strains - Grade I involves overstretching and small fiber tears, Grade II more extensive tearing, and Grade III a complete muscle tear, often at the musculotendinous junction.

    Sports Injury Classification

    Classification of Sports Injury


    Acute

    / Traumatic

    Overuse

    Chronic
    direct blow, collision, impact

    Strain (%)

    Normal Physiological Range Grade I Tear Grade II Tear Grade III Tear

    Acute Injury - Tendon


    LIGAMENT

    Acute Injury - Ligament


    Grade I Sprain

    Sprain / tear 3 grades (continuum) Functional - Clinical relations

    I
    Overstretching Few Ruptured Fibres Conservative

    II
    Significant No. Ruptured Fibres Active Treatment

    III
    Complete Rupture Surgery

    Pain on stressing ligament No increased in joint laxity

    Grade II Sprain

    Grade III Sprain (Rupture)

    Pain on stressing ligament

    may / may not painful on stressing gross joint laxity without a firm end point

    Increased joint laxity with definite end point

    Acute Injury - Muscle Strain

    Muscle fibres fail to cope with imposed demands Among most common sporting injuries Recurrent (particularly hamstrings) Sudden acceleration or deceleration are common injury mechanisms Eccentric action mode Elasticity

    MUSCLE STRAIN

    Grade I Strain

    Grade II Strain

    Overstretching

    Large number muscle fibres ruptured Pain and swelling Reduced strength Pain limited movement

    Small number muscle fibres ruptured

    Localised pain

    No strength loss

    Grade III Strain

    Acute Injury - Muscle

    Complete tear of muscle Often seen at musculo-tendinous junction Significant strength loss Obvious visual defect

    Contusion (bruise): direct blow local damage

    HARM
    Heat Alcohol Rest Massage

    bleeding hematoma (myositis ossificans??)

    Acute Injuries - Articular Cartilage

    Chondral & osteochondral fractures more common than previously thought Better detection - MRI, CT, arthroscopy Fragments sheared from articular surfaces especially with subluxation or dislocation High index of suspicion if apparently simple joint sprain does not resolve continuing to be painful and swollen Damage to articular cartilage may be an important factor in premature osteoarthritis

    ARTICULAR CARTILAGE

    Growth Plate Injury (Salter & Harris)

    JOINT

    Acute Injuries - Joint


    Subluxation
    Articulating surfaces remain partially in contact with each other

    Acute Injuries - Joint

    less stable joints (shoulder / fingers) more likely to dislocate all dislocations and subluxations result in injury to the surrounding joint capsule and ligaments

    Dislocation
    Trauma produces complete dissociation of the articulating joint surfaces

    Bone Fractures

    Common sporting injury Direct trauma (blow) Indirect trauma (twisting) Closed vs open fracture

    BONE FRACTURES

    Bone Fracture Classification

    Complex

    Simple

    Transverse

    Oblique

    Spiral

    Comminuted

    Avulsion

    Epiphyseal Injury Classifications (Salter &


    Harris)
    Type I Type II Type III Type IV Type V Complete separation of the epiphysis from the metaphysis with no fracture to the bone Separation of the epiphysis & a small portion of the metaphysis Fracture of the epiphysis Fracture of a part of the epiphysis & metaphysis Compression of the epiphysis without fracture, resulting in compromised epiphyseal function
