Understanding Sprains and Strains

Dr. Lamont Tyler

Dr. Lamont Tyler has been a family medicine and urgent care physician in Bloomington, Illinois since 2004, where he currently serves as medical director. He treats various minor injuries such as sprains and strains. A sprain is a torn or stretched ligament connecting bones, while a strain is a torn muscle or tendon. Both cause pain, swelling, and immobility in the affected area. Sprains often involve twisting of the ankle or wrist, and strains can occur suddenly in the back or hamstrings from overexertion or develop over time from repetitive motion. Mild cases are usually treated with rest, ice, and immobilization, while more severe injuries may require physical therapy or surgery.

An investigation into the use of seafood processing by-products in Nova Scotia

Alison Chappell

This document summarizes a study on the use of seafood processing byproducts in Nova Scotia. The study found that around 38% of seafood processors profit from byproducts by selling them to mink farms and fishermen. However, a third of processors solely dispose of byproducts as waste. There is room for improvement in optimizing byproducts, such as through education on uses like compost or bait production. Shellfish processing generates the most waste, while groundfish waste is generally utilized. Over half of originally identified processors were no longer active in the industry.

The Windsdor Consulting Group, Inc.

Workers were exposed to excessively high carbon monoxide gas exposures from forklifts operating throughout the plant. The plant had no outside source of air intake and air withing the building could not be exhausted to the outside because of the odor problem within a residential neighborhood. Workers also were exposed to carbon dioxide from flash freezing process and trimethylamine from processing the seafood in the plant. There were no elevated exposures found relative to trimethylamine but short-term exposures to carbon dioxide from leaks in the process equipment. Recommendations were made to tune-up the forklift and continue proper maintenance. The plant was ventilated to remove the carbon monoxide exposure.

Anterior/Posterior Cruciate ligaments by Shannon Davis

shann_maree

This document discusses the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in the knee. It explains that the ACL prevents forward tibial movement and provides stability, while the PCL prevents backward tibial movement. Both ligaments can be sprained or torn through injuries like sudden movements or impacts. Treatment options include physical therapy, bracing, or reconstructive surgery depending on the severity of the injury.

L07 extensor mechnsm injury

Claudiu Cucu

The document discusses injuries to the patella and extensor mechanism. It describes the anatomy and biomechanics of the patella. Common injury mechanisms are direct trauma from a fall or dashboard injury, or indirect trauma from forceful knee flexion against a contracted quadriceps. Injuries can include fractures or ruptures of the patella or tendons. Treatment depends on the specific injury but may involve nonoperative management with immobilization or operative fixation or reconstruction of bony or soft tissue injuries.

Andreas Serner - Rectus Femoris Injuries Experiencies (Aspetar)

Rectus Femoris Injuries: what and when? William Garret

Surgical treatment of rectus femoris muscle injuries is typically only considered for indirect head injuries within the muscle belly that have not responded to conservative treatment involving physical therapy and injections. The surgical technique involves identifying the injured tissue within the muscle through nerve stimulation and blunt dissection, then removing the scarred muscle. While pain is often significantly reduced with surgery, athletes may experience some recurrence of symptoms upon return to sport within 7-12 months. However, surgery generally allows athletes to return to sports without limitations. Surgery should only be pursued if conservative treatments fail to allow an active patient to perform without pain limitations.

Quadriceps Muscle Injuries - William Garret (Eduard Alentor-Geli)

Rupture tendo achillis

Ahmed Nabeel

An Achilles tendon rupture is often misdiagnosed as an ankle sprain and may be missed in up to 25% of cases. It most commonly occurs in men during sporting activities and is usually caused by sudden plantarflexion or dorsiflexion of the foot. Treatment involves either non-operative casting or surgical repair, with the latter having a lower re-rupture rate but higher risk of complications. Post-operative rehabilitation has shifted from long immobilization to early range of motion and progressive resistance exercises to limit muscle atrophy.

Xavier Valle: Rectus Femoris

Quadriceps Muscle Injuries: James Moore

SPRAINED ANKLE

kumaramitphysio

Ankle sprains are ligament injuries, usually caused by forced inversion or plantar flexion of the ankle. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty walking. Ankle sprains are classified by severity from Grade 1 (mild stretching) to Grade 3 (complete ligament tear). Physical exams involve stress tests to check for laxity in the anterior talofibular and other ligaments. Conservative treatment focuses on RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) along with rehabilitation exercises. Surgery may be needed for complete tears or chronic instability.

Sprain and Strain

Isha Outreach

A sprain is a stretch or tear of a ligament connecting bones at a joint, while a strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon. Sprains commonly occur in the ankle after a twist or fall, while strains often affect the back or hamstrings from overuse. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising and loss of movement. Treatment focuses on RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) followed by rehabilitation exercises to regain strength and flexibility.

Contusions, strains and sprains

Reynel Dan

Contusions, strains, and sprains are soft tissue injuries caused by blunt force, overuse, or twisting motions. Contusions involve bleeding into the injured tissue from ruptured blood vessels. Strains are microscopic muscle tears, while sprains damage ligaments around a joint. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and limited range of motion. Treatment focuses on RICE - rest, ice, compression, and elevation to reduce swelling along with analgesics and immobilization if severe. Patients are educated on proper care, gradual return to activity, and avoiding reinjury.

Sprains & strains

Other Mother

Sprains and strains are musculoskeletal disorders caused by excessive exertion on muscles, tendons or ligaments. They are commonly caused by activities like lifting, pushing, carrying, repetitive tasks or awkward postures. A sprain specifically involves a stretched or torn ligament while a strain is an overstretched muscle or tendon. Treatment involves RICE therapy - rest, ice, compression and elevation of the injured area. Prevention strategies include warming up, stretching, wearing proper footwear and exercising caution.

Mechanical injuries

Hassan Ahmad

This document discusses factors that determine the appearance of mechanical injuries, including the type of weapon, how force is applied, the tissue properties, and movement. Weapon shape directly influences wound shape. Direct force causes impact injuries at the site, while indirect force causes injuries away from the impact. Tissue resistance and architecture also impact wound appearance. Proper analysis of these factors can provide clues about the causative agent.
