Approach to Sports Injuries
Introduction
Sports participation always has a risk of injury. Generally, sports injury can be divided into Overuse injuries Blunt trauma Overview of Fractures None Acute soft-tissue Overview of Sprains and Other Soft-Tissue Injuries None Many injuries (eg, fractures, dislocations, soft-tissue contusions, blunt trauma, sprains, strains) are not unique to sports participation and can result from activities that are not athletic or from accidents. Such injuries are described elsewhere in THE MANUAL. However, athletes may need to learn how to modify faulty techniques that predispose to injuries or be counseled to take an adequate period of rest to recover from a sports injury (ie, not work through the pain). (See also Screening for Sports Participation and Overview of Fractures .)
