Question

Describe 2 types of fractures that can happen, in athletics, to a hand or wrist (give the
name and describe the injury)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Traumatic injuries are more likely to occur

in athletes who participate in sports

that require higher levels of contact (i.e.,

football, hockey, or wrestling), whereas

overuse injuries result in athletes who

participate in sports that require them

to “overdo” a particular movement

(i.e., baseball, tennis, or golf).

Some common traumatic injuries

in athletes include joint dislocations,

sprains, muscle strains, broken bones,

tendon inflammation, and ligament tears.

Answer 2

Explanation:

~Stress Fractures: These happen due to repetitive activity. This is common in sports because many require the same or similar movements.

~Scaphoid Fractures: This is the fracture of the scaphoid bone, the smallest bone in the wrist. These happen most often when a person falls on an outstretched hand.
