When abnormal force is applied to the joint, the ligament is overstretched and the bone sprains.

Sprain is a condition that occurs when the fibers or nerves around the bone joint are damaged due to injury.

Causes of Sprain: When abnormal force is applied to the joint, the ligament is overstretched and the bone sprains.

Symptoms of sprains
1. Abnormal swelling.
2. severe pain
3. Pain increases with limb movement.
4. Fibrous damage occurs at the site of injury.
5. The affected area turns black.
6. Bleeding occurs when the ligament tears.
7. Muscle spasms occur.
8. Difficulty walking.

Treatment of sprains
A sprained patient must RICE.
RICE = Rest + Ice + Compression + Elevation
1. The sprained limb should be kept elevated.
2. Complete rest with crepe bandage for 2-3 weeks.
3. The sprained limb cannot be moved.
4. No massage can be used.
5. Ice the sprained area every 30 minutes for the first two days to reduce pain.
6. Applying warm compresses every two days to increase blood circulation.
7. Temporary plaster can be applied.
8. The first week should be walked with a stick or crutches.
9. An extra elastic bandage on the leg is good when walking.
10. The patient should take Aspirin or Diclofenac tablets on a full stomach to reduce pain.

1. The dislocation site becomes painful and swollen.
2. Body parts are disabled.
3. Deviated bones may protrude.
4. Dislocation of the shoulder and hip cannot move the arms and legs.
5. Hand can’t work if fingers are dislocated.

There are four types of dislocation.

1. Congenital malformations: Many babies are born with malformations.
2. Dislocations due to disease: Dislocations can be caused by various diseases.
3. Rheumatic dislocations: Loss of muscle balance due to arthritis can lead to dislocations.
4. Traumatic Dislocation: Dislocation occurs due to accident or any other reason.

When the bones forming the joint are moved due to injury or any other reason, it is called joint displacement or luxation. Bone dislocations occur due to road accidents, falls, sports, injuries etc. Ankylosing spondylitis is diagnosed by X-ray.

1. The dislocation site becomes painful and swollen.
2. Body parts are disabled.
3. Deviated bones may protrude.
4. Dislocation of the shoulder and hip cannot move the arms and legs.
5. Hand can’t work if fingers are dislocated.

1. The patient may lose consciousness, stop moving or breathing.
2. Painful swelling or bleeding may occur.
3. Hands, feet or joints may be deformed.
4. Physical growth of the child may be stunted.
5. Flesh and skin may tear and bones may come out.
6. The affected area may become numb or bluish in color.
7. Brain, lungs, liver, heart etc. can get injured.

1. Movement of the affected limb is very painful.
2. The patient cannot move the affected limb at all.
3. A gentle pressure on the affected area causes severe pain.
4. A change in the shape of the organ where the pain is most severe.
5. Swelling occurs at the affected area.

1. The patient’s breathing should be eased.
2. Elevate the injured limb to reduce bleeding.
3. The patient’s pulse should be checked.
4. The patient’s blood pressure should be determined.
5. The patient should take Aspirin or Diclofenac tablets on a full stomach to reduce pain.
6. The patient should be taken to the hospital immediately.

If the bone breaks into several pieces, it is called a complex fracture. This can be due to osteoporosis. In this case, the broken part should be bandaged. Then the operation was done. The two major bone fractures are:
1. Fragmentary: The number of broken fragments is less and the fragments are slightly larger.
1. Multifragmentary: The number of broken fragments is large and the fragments are small.
