Sprains are injuries to the ligaments in a joint, which are the fibrous bands of tissue that connect bones together. Strains are injuries to the muscles and tendons, which are the fibers that attach muscles to bones. Contusions are bruises caused by direct trauma to the skin. Fractures are broken bones caused by direct trauma or overuse. Dislocations are injuries to the bones or joints caused by a force that is too strong for the ligament to withstand. Concussions are traumatic brain injuries caused by a blow to the head. sports injuries can cause pain, swelling, and loss of range of motion. Depending on the severity of the injury, treatment may include rest, ice, compression, elevation, and physical therapy. More serious injuries may require surgery or other medical intervention.
