Injuries in Sports: what are the most common injuries and what are the…

- - - - Muscle cramps can be caused by dehydration, low levels of potassium and magnesium, and disorders.
      - Muscles or muscle group that aren't properly developed.
      - Muscle weakness.
  - - - Most are caused by falls and accidents
      - Compound fractures causes injury to the overlying skin.
      - Types:
        Avulsion fracture (when a muscle or ligament pulls on the bone).
      - Comminuted fracture (bones shattered into multiple pieces).
      - Compression (crush) fracture (often occurs in the spongy bone in the spine).
      - Fracture dislocation (when a joint is dislocated and fractured).
      - Greenstick fracture (when the bone partly fractures because the rest of the bone can't break due to bendiness).
      - Hairline fracture (a partial fracture).
      - Impacted fracture (when one part of the bone goes into another when fractures).
      - Intraarticular fracture (where the break exteneds into the surface of a joint).
      - Longitudinal fracture (when the break is along the length of the bone).
      - Oblique fracture (when the fracture is diagonal to a bone's long axis).
      - Pathological fractures (caused by disease).
      - Spiral fracture (when at least one of the parts of the bones that are fractures is twisted).
      - Stress fracture (a bone breaks after repeated stresses and strains).
      - Torus (buckle) fracture (when a bone deforms but not crack).
      - Transverse fracture (a straight break right across the bone).
- - - - Sprains
      - Abrasions
      - Laceration
      - Broken bones
      - Fractures
      - Joint dislocation
      - Strains
      - Hematomas (swelling from blood clot in tissues)
