Extractions: Definition Sprain refers to damage or tearing of ligaments or a joint capsule. Strain refers to damage or tearing of a muscle. Description When excessive force is applied to a joint, the ligaments that hold the bones together may be torn or damaged. This results in a sprain, and its seriousness depends on how badly the ligaments are torn. Any joint can be sprained, but the most frequently injured joints are the ankle, knee, and finger. Strains are tears in the muscle. Sometimes called pulled muscles, they usually occur because of overexertion or improper lifting techniques. Sprains and strains are common. Anyone can have them. Children under age eight are less likely to have sprains than are older people. Childrens' ligaments are tighter, and their bones are more apt to break before a ligament tears. People who are active in sports suffer more strains and sprains than less active people. Repeated sprains in the same joint make the joint less stable and more prone to future sprains. Causes and symptoms There are three grades of sprains. Grade I sprains are mild injuries where there is no tearing of the ligament, and no joint function is lost, although there may be tenderness and slight swelling.

http://www.uihealthcare.com/topics/bonesjointsmuscles/bone4238.html

Extractions: University of Iowa Two injuries common to muscles and joints are strains and sprains. A strain is less serious than a sprain. To "strain" is to injure by overuse or overexertion. Strains occur when the muscles and ligaments around a joint are overworked or used incorrectly. The fibers of the muscle or ligament are over-stretched but not broken. There is discomfort and swelling at the area of injury. This is a minor injury and you can recover in a few weeks by using the following advice: To control the swelling: apply an ice pack to the area for 10 to 30 minutes intermittently for 48 to 72 hours wrap an ace bandage firmly around the area for 7 to 14 days to prevent re-injury (take it off when it is not needed such as when resting or sleeping) elevate the injured area for 5 to 10 minutes hourly to reduce the swelling and take an anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen or aspirin as directed and approved by your healthcare provider (Aspirin should not be given to children under the age of 18. This is due to the risk of Reyes Syndrome.)

http://www.williams.edu/admin/health/ephnotes/notes019.html

Extractions: Common causes for sprains and strains are falls, twisting an arm or leg, sports injuries and over-exertion. Both sprains and strains result in pain and swelling. The amount of pain and swelling depends on the extent of damage. SPRAIN: Results from overstretching or tearing a ligament, tendon, or muscle. Ligaments are fibrous tissue that connects bones. Tendons are tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone. STRAIN: Occurs when a muscle or tendon is overstretched or over-exerted. Common sense can prevent many sprains and strains. General safety measures to prevent slips and falls include proper lighting, handrails on both sides of stairways, keeping stairways and traffic areas clear of clutter ad using adhesive-backed strips in bath and shower. TREATMENT: REST the injured area. ICE or cold packs should be applied immediately. Do this for up to 48 to 72 hours after the injury. After 48-72 hours, applying heat may bring additional relief. COMPRESS the area by wrapping it (not too tightly) with an elastic wrap. Begin wrapping from the point farthest from the heart and wrap toward the center of the body. Loosen the bandage if it gets too tight. ELEVATE the injured area higher than the heart. Do this even while you are applying the ice or cold pack as well as when you sleep.

Symptoms Immediately upon injury, use rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Apply ice intermittently for at least the first 24 hours. A sandwich bag with crushed ice or a bag of frozen vegetables can be placed on the injured foot and wrapped with an elastic bandage for compression. Weight-bearing on the ankle should be limited to individual tolerance. If pain or range of motion does not improve within a week, a doctor should be consulted. For more severe injuries, crutches or a walking cast may be prescribed. Stretching and strengthening exercises can also help the recovery process.

http://www.walgreens.com/library/topics/Sprained.jhtml

Extractions: When you overdo it physically, you may experience sudden pain and swelling in a joint or a muscle. This may occur when you stretch too far, change direction or slow down abruptly, land awkwardly, or collide with another player during a sporting event. The injury you have may be a sprain or a strain. A sprain is a stretching or tearing of ligaments. Ligaments are tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect one bone to another. They help to stabilize joints, preventing excessive movement. Sprains are frequently caused by rapid changes in direction or by a collision. Common locations for sprains are your ankles and knees.

What Is the Difference Between a Sprain and a Strain? A sprain is an injury to a ligamenta stretching or a tearing. One or more ligaments can be injured during a sprain. The severity of the injury will depend on the extent of injury to a single ligament (whether the tear is partial or complete) and the number of ligaments involved. A strain is an injury to either a muscle or a tendon. Depending on the severity of the injury, a strain may be a simple overstretch of the muscle or tendon, or it can result in a partial or complete tear.

http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/sportsmed/sprains.html

Extractions: Common injuries often seen with active lifestyles, whether during weekend sporting activities, or neighborhood league play, include sprains and strains. A sprain is simply the tearing of ligament tissue. Ligaments connect bone to bone. When you "sprain" your ankle, you have torn some of the ligament tissue in your ankle. This can vary from minor (only a very small tear) to severe (most of the ligament torn). A "turned" ankle is the same as a sprain. A strain is the tearing of muscle or tendinous tissue. Muscles provide us with a means of movement and stabilization of our joints. Tendons connect muscles to bones. A strain is the same as a "pulled" muscle. Strains, like sprains, can vary from minor to severe. Generally, sprains and strains are managed the same for the first 48 to 72 hours. There are some good things that should be done, and some bad things that should never be done during this critical time period. DO: Place ice on the injured part as soon as possible.

Extractions: Incidents Decline Overall CONTACT: Trey Davis , Deputy Commissioner (405) 528-1500 ext. 353 March 28, 2001 OKLAHOMA CITY - The Oklahoma Department of Labor recorded 22,137 workplace injuries and illness involving days away from work in 1999. The total represents another decline in the states annual tracking data. The 1999 data reflects a 9 percent decline or 2,189 fewer incidents than 1998 and a 20.3 percent drop from the 27,769 incidents resulting in days away from work recorded in 1996. Soft-tissue trauma is again the leading cause of injury in every major industry division according to statistics gathered by the Oklahoma Department of Labor. Sprains and strains repeated as the only injury/illness type to score double digits at 49 percent in 1999, up from 41 percent in 1998. The actual number of sprain and strain injuries increased 809 from 1998 to total 10,861 in 1999. Overexertion retained the top spot as the primary cause for 7,313 workplace injuries at 33 percent. Overexertion in lifting accounted for 5,602 of recorded injuries. Contact with objects or equipment ranked second at 23.5 percent or 5,196 incidents. Among all incidents, almost 44 percent affected the trunk area primarily the back at 29 percent.

http://www.aggressive.com/health/sprains.cfm

Extractions: Definition Any joint in the body may be injured if the ligaments (fibrous bands that connect bone) are overstretched; in other words, if the joint is forced past its normal range of motion. Strains refer to a stretching of a muscle or muscle tendon that can range from a minute tear in muscle fiber to a complete separation of the muscle tendon. Sprains refer to a stretching of ligaments that connects bone to bone. Sprains can range from a first degree (indicated by a stretching of ligament) to a third degree (described as a complete separation). Specific treatment depends on the joint involved and the degree of injury. "Whiplash" neck injuries, jammed fingers, twisted knees and twisted ankles are usually sprains. Initial Care Rest is the first and most important part of care. Discontinue use of the injured joint immediately. Further immobilization by use of a splint or crutches may be recommended for a short period of time to prevent further injury. Ice Compression will also help reduce swelling and is provided by wrapping the injured joint snugly with an ace wrap. The ace wrap should be worn during periods of activity preferably following ice application and elevation. (The ace wrap should not be worn while sleeping). The bandage should be applied from the furthest point of the body to the closest. An injured ankle should be wrapped from the toes toward the knee. An injured wrist should be wrapped from the fingers toward the elbow. An injured knee should be wrapped from the calf toward the thigh.

Extractions: A sprain happens when you overstretch or tear a ligament (fibrous tissue that connects bones), a tendon (tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone), or a muscle. A strain occurs when you overstretch or overexert a muscle or tendon. Sprains and strains hurt and swell up. The amount of pain and swelling depends on the extent of damage. Common causes for sprains and strains are falls, twisting a limb, sports injuries, and overexertion. Prevention Common sense can prevent many sprains and strains. General safety measures to prevent slips and falls: Clear ice from porches and walkways in winter weather. Wear shoes and boots with nonskid soles. Put sturdy handrails on both sides of stairways. Use rubber mats or adhesive-backed strips in bathtubs and shower stalls. A support bar is a good idea, too. Make sure light switches are located near all room entrances inside of the house and to entrances outside. Use a night light between the bedroom and bathroom or in the hallway at night. Don't leave shoes, toys, tools, and other things where people can trip over them. Use nonskid floor wax.

http://www.studenthealth.ucla.edu/handoutsold/sprain.htm

Extractions: Description Bones are connected together by fibrous tissues called ligaments. Ligaments give joints stability and prevent them from moving abnormally. A severe injury to a joint, more than the ligament can withstand, is a tear of the ligaments called a sprain . Muscles are attached to each other and to bones by fibrous cords called tendons. Overuse or injury of a muscle or a tendon is called a strain Symptoms The symptoms of a sprain or strain are pain, swelling and/or loss of normal function of a joint, muscle, tendon, or ligament. The severity of the symptoms depends on the degree of injury. More severe forces result in more severe types of injuries and longer times to recover. Ligaments and tendons can be stretched, torn, or in some cases, may be injured in association with a fracture. Common sprains and strains may be due to sudden movement (e.g. a fall, a twist, or sudden vigorous exercise) for which the body has not been prepared. Self-care/self-treatment Self-treatment can be started early, before seeking medical care, and can hasten your recovery. Initial treatment of a musculoskeletal injury is summarized by "R.I.C.E.": Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. That is, rest the body part; do not use or walk on a body part that hurts. You can cause further injury. Apply ice or cold compress to the area for 10-15 minutes at a time, 2-5 times a day. Compress these swollen parts with an elastic bandage (ACE), and elevate the injured area. These measures help reduce swelling, pain, and further injury. Discolored areas or bruises may be the result of injured blood vessels.

Extractions: Vision ... Torn Rotator Cuff Injury SPRAINS AND STRAINS A sprain is an injury to a ligamenta stretching or a tearing. One or more ligaments can be injured during a sprain. The severity of the injury will depend on the extent of injury to a single ligament (whether the tear is partial or complete) and the number of ligaments involved. A strain is an injury to either a muscle or a tendon. Depending on the severity of the injury, a strain may be a simple overstretch of the muscle or tendon, or it can result in a partial or complete tear. A sprain can result from a fall, a sudden twist, or a blow to the body that forces a joint out of its normal position. This results in an overstretch or tear of the ligament supporting that joint. Typically, sprains occur when people fall and land on an outstretched arm, slide into base, land on the side of their foot, or twist a knee with the foot planted firmly on the ground.

What's the difference between a sprain and a strain? How should I treat a strain or sprain? Once my child has sprained a joint, is she more likely to do it again? ... How can I protect my child from these injuries? My child seems to be limping. Could she have sprained or strained something? It's possible. These injuries become more common once your child begins playing sports, after age 6 or so. A child may sprain her ankle or knee while running on the soccer field or jumping on the basketball or volleyball court. She may stretch or tear ligaments in her wrist or elbow if she tries to break a fall with an outstretched arm, forcing those joints to absorb her full weight. Strains are often caused by muscle fatigue and are most common among extremely active children. What's the difference between a sprain and a strain? When your child strains or "pulls" a muscle, she has stretched or torn the muscle tissue or the tendon that connects it to a nearby bone. The neck, back, thigh, and calf muscles are the ones most often strained. These strains are frequently the result of overuse, as in the case of a Little League pitcher who develops a sore arm. Sprains, on the other hand, involve the joints. An ankle, knee, wrist, or elbow is sprained when a sharp, twisting motion stretches or tears a ligament, the tough, elastic tissue that connects the bones at a joint. If the sprain is really bad, you'll hear a pop or a snapping sound.
