FRACTURE
Fracture Break in the bone
Simple Bone is cracked or completely broken into two or more pieces
Compound Broken ends of the bone stick out through the skin
DISLOCATION
Dislocation Occurs when the end of a bone comes out of its joint.
SPRAIN
Sprain occurs when ligaments are stretched too far and tear in places.
Most common joint injury
IDENTIFYING INJURY X-RAYS Takes pictures on the BONE
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Takes pictures of SOFT TISSUE (muscle, ligaments, brain tumors, etc.)

TREATING INJURIES
Cast
Joint Replacement
Arthroscopy
CAST
Cast Hard casing to let bone heal naturally.
JOINT REPLACEMENT Joints are injured or
diseased and require treatment. EXAMPLE:
Arthritis Disease of the joints that makes movement painful.
Joint is replaced with an artificial one made of metals or plastics. Doctors can replace
knees, shoulders, hips, fingers. And wrists.
ARTHROSCOPY Joint injuries can also be
treated by arthroscopic surgery.
Doctors make a small incision and insert a slim, tube-shaped instrument called an arthroscope into the joint.
A camera attached to the arthroscope projects the image from inside the joint onto a monitor.
Small tools are then used to repair the damage through the small incisions .
