fractures, sprains & strains
There are ______ bones in a human skeleton, providing a protective framework for the body.
At many points on the skeleton, bones articulate with each other by means of joints.
These are supported by ligaments and moved by muscles that are attached to the bones by
TENDONS
LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT
LIGAMENTS
A fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable
A joint is where one bone meets another.
FRACTURES
A break or crack in a bone is called a fracture. They may be:
Fractures are injuries where a bone is actually broken.
closed
open
In an open fracture, one of the broken bone ends may pierce the skin surface, or there may be a wound at the fracture site.
An open fracture carries a high risk of becoming infected.
In a closed fracture, the skin above the fracture is intact. However, bones may be displaced (unstable), causing internal bleeding and the casualty may develop shock
YOUR AIMS
1. To prevent movement at the injury site 2. To arrange transportation to the hospital, with comfortable support.

Stabilizing a broken BONES:
Control Swelling With RICE Therapy
RICE stands for: Rest the sprained or strained area. If necessary, use a sling for an arm injury or crutches for a leg or foot injury. Splint an injured finger or toe by taping it to an adjacent finger or toe. Ice for 20 minutes every hour. Never put ice directly against the skin or it may damage the skin. Use a thin towel for protection. Compress by wrapping an elastic (Ace) bandage or sleeve lightly (not tightly) around the joint or limb. Specialized braces, such as for the ankle, can work better than an elastic bandage for removing the swelling. Elevate the area above heart level if possible.
