ABSTRACT:
In addition to providing conventional care, sports medicine also serves as a guide and a point of reference for the state of play in relation to sporting regulations and violations of them. Muscular and skeletal system injuries are the most common outcomes of sports. The majority of these injuries consist of sprains, strains, contusions of muscles and joints, and fractures and dislocations of bones and joints. Although they generally have a small impact, head, face, neck, and internal injuries of the thorax and abdomen can be extremely serious or even fatal. Skin abrasions, cuts, and bruises from subcutaneous tissue are so ubiquitous that they are often used as status symbols for bodily contact, first appearing as red, then black, and finally blue. Treatment for these injuries is not particularly difficult unless they become infected.
