101. Broken Bones, Sprains, And Strains Broken bones and torn muscles, ligaments, and tendons are not uncommon in children. Find out what to do if your child experiences any breaks, strains, http://kidshealth.org/parent/firstaid_safe/emergencies/broken_bones.html

KidsHealth Parents Emergencies: What to Do A broken (fractured) bone requires emergency care. Suspect a possible broken bone if your child heard or felt a bone snap, if your child has difficulty moving the injured part, or if the injured part moves in an unnatural way or is very painful to the touch. A sprain occurs when the ligaments, which hold bones together, are overstretched and partially torn. Simply overstretching any part of the musculature is called a strain. Sprains and strains generally cause swelling and pain, and there may be bruises around the injured area. Most sprains, after proper medical evaluation, can be treated at home. What to Do: For a Suspected Broken Bone: If the injury involves your child's neck or back, do not move him unless the child is in imminent danger. Movement can cause serious nerve damage. Phone for emergency medical help . If your child must be moved, the neck and back must be completely immobilized first. Keeping your child's head, neck, and back in alignment, move the child as a unit. If your child has an open break (bone protrudes through the skin) and there is severe bleeding , apply pressure on the bleeding area with a gauze pad or a clean piece of clothing or other material. Do not wash the wound or try to push back any part of the bone that may be sticking out.

Eidelson, M.D. SpineUniverse Founder, Orthopaedic Surgeon Asst. Professor - Univ. of Miami at FAU Orthopaedic Surgery Associates Boca Raton, FL, USA There are many types of back and neck disorders that affect the majority of the population in the United States. Injury, aging, general health, and lifestyle may influence the development of some conditions. Most spinal disorders are known to result from soft tissue injury, structural injury, and degenerative, or congenital conditions. Soft Tissue Injuries Soft tissues include the muscles, tendons (ten-duns), ligaments (lig-ah-ments), and nerves. Injury to these tissues can be caused by unnecessary stress to the spine. To give you an idea of how stress affects the spine, consider the following information. Keep in mind the numbers are relatively accurate when proper posture and body mechanics are used. Lying flat on the back, very little pressure is exerted on the spine. As a person stands upright the pressure climbs three times and while sitting four times. Forces affecting the lower back can rise five times as a medium weight box is lifted. But what happens when poor posture is combined with faulty body mechanics? Those numbers would escalate as the following example demonstrates:

Home Products Journal Index FAQ ... our Newsletter SPRAINS / STRAINS (What they are and how to treat them) Sprains and strains are the most common forms of injury that can afflict the individual. They can affect almost anyone. You need not be an athlete or a construction worker to get a sprain or strain. Any individual during the most mundane activities, whether at work or play, can be prone to this aggravating injury. What is a sprain and what is a strain? A sprain is an injury to a ligament and is caused by a severe stretching of the ligament beyond the normal range of motion. If the trauma is severe enough, the ligament can be torn or ruptured. This is the most severe form of sprain. It can also be torn away from the bone to which the ligament is attached. When this occurs, the bone cannot be moved normally, because it attaches one bone to another. When this occurs, surgical intervention may be required. You can prevent most sprains and strains by applying some common sense rules, whether you are at work, playing sports, gardening or doing household chores. I have discussed these rules in other articles, and they can be applied here as well, no matter what activity you may be involved in. When these injuries occur, the most asked question is, "Do I use cold or heat to treat this injury?" The general rule that applies, is when the injury occurs, apply an icepack during the first 24 to 72 hours. The icepack should only be applied for 15 to 20 minutes at time with an hour rest between the applications of the icepack. If an icepack is not available you can use a frozen food bag from the freezer, or place ice cubes in two plastic bags. When applying this, always cover the injured area with a thin washcloth or a few paper towels. There are times when COLD THERAPY SHOULD NOT BE USED. If the area has less sensation, where there is a circulatory problem, or over open wound.

DESCRIPTION: Sprain: complete or partial ligamentous injury, either within the body of the ligament or at the site of attachment to bone. It may be classified as Grade I, II, or III. Grades I and II are incomplete tears and differ in severity; Grade III is complete dissolution of the ligamentous connection. Physical exam is key to the diagnosis. Usually secondary to trauma (falls, twisting injuries or motor vehicle accidents). Strain: partial or complete disruption of the muscle or tendon, usually associated with overuse injuries.

Causes Anyone, from the most well-conditioned athlete to the most sedentary person, can incur an ankle injury. Usually, the cause is accidental (e.g., stepping into a pothole, slipping while getting out of the car). People who are overweight and those who wear high-heeled shoes are at higher risk for ankle injuries. Ankle injuries usually involve a sudden, unexpected, loss of balance that results in a sharp twist of the ankle. A
