Bone and Joint Injuries
Bone and Joint injuries are very common in accident and falls
Injuries can also occur together or by themselves
Examples: Fractures, Dislocations, Sprains, and Strains

FRACTURE
Breaking of the BoneClosed or Simple: No open

S/S of Fractures
Deformity Limited motion or loss motion Pain and tenderness at the site Swelling and discoloration, Protrusion of the bone through
the skinThe victim may hear the bone
snap, feel crepitation (grinding), and have abnormal movement of the parts

TX for Fractures FX Treatment for fractures is directed at
maintaining respirations, treating for shock, keeping the broken bone from moving, and preventing further injury.
Using Splints, Slings, and Air Splints, you can prevent the injured body part from moving
When Splinting, splint above and below the break
You must get EMS and medical help ASAP
![Page 14: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Pelvic Fractures Requires a lot of force to break
Pelvis contains major arteries so internal bleeding may occur
DO NOT MOVE THE PELVIS!
Create a Pelvic Sling

Dislocation
When the end bone moves out of place or is out of normal position in the joint
Frequently accompanied by tearing or stretching of ligaments, muscles, and other soft tissue
![Page 16: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
S/SDeformityLimited or abnormal
movementSwelling Discoloration, Pain, tenderness, Shortening or lengthening
of the affected arm or leg

First Aid
Same as Fractures Ensure the patients body
extremity is immobilized Movement of the injured part
can lead to additional injury to nerves, blood vessels, and other tissue in the area
![Page 21: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
SprainInjury to tissue surrounding a joint
and it usually occurs when the part is forced beyond its normal range of motion
Ligaments, tendons, and other tissues are usually stretched or torn
Common sites are ankles and wrists
![Page 22: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
S/SSwelling, pain, discoloration,
and sometimes impaired movement
Frequently resemble fractures and dislocations
If in doubt, treat it as a fracture
![Page 23: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
First AidApplication of cold (ice with barrier 15 on
15 off) to decrease swelling and pain, elevation of the affected part and rest
An elastic bandage can be applied for support and if swelling is severe or there is a question of fracture/dislocation treat it as a fracture
![Page 25: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Strain
Overstretching of a muscle due to overexertion of heavy lifting
Frequent sites for strains is the back
**REMEMBER GOOD BODY MECHANICS
![Page 26: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
S/S
Sudden pain, swelling, and bruising
![Page 27: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
![Page 28: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
TX Rest and support Bed rest on a very firm or boarded
mattress is recommended for a back strain
Cold can be used initially to reduce swelling (first 24 hrs) then warm and wet applications can be used as treatment because warm relaxes the muscles
Medical help should be sought if the patient is unable to move or in extreme pain
![Page 29: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Splints pg 421Used to immobilize fractures,
dislocations, and other similar injuries that are present or suspected
Splints can be created using anything that provides support and does not further injure the patient (such as cardboard, newspapers, blankets, pillows, boards, and other similar materials)
![Page 30: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Splints should immobilize the injury above and below the site while preventing movement or further injury
Splints should be padded especially over boney areas
Strips of cloth, roller gauze, triangular bandages can be folded, or any other object that can be stretched and tied
Splints must be applied in a manner that does not put pressure directly over the site of injury
If an open wound exists, use sterile dressing and apply pressure
![Page 31: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Air Splints
To test whether the splint is properly inflated, use a thumb to apply slight pressure to the splint; an indentation mark should result.
![Page 32: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
NEVER make an attempt to replace a broken bone or reduce a fracture or dislocation. Do not move the patient and splint wherever you find them if the scene is safe
![Page 33: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
After SplintingYou must monitor circulation and nerve
endings when the splint is in place.Skin should be warm to touch and
watch for any edema, cyanosis, numbness or tingling, and always check the pulse
IF any S/S of changes in circulation occurs or numbness occurs, loosen the splint while still supporting the area
![Page 34: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Slings pg 422 & 424
Always position the hand higher than the elbow which promotes circulation and decreases edema
Always check circulation Capillary Refill Test on Finger tips can be
performed If FX is suspected, try to limit the movement of
the limb as much as possible Make sure the sling is tied comfortably around
the neck Another sling could be used to tie the arm to
the body
![Page 35: 15.9 Bone and Joint Injuries Pages 419-423 LEQ: How does the type of injury dictate the type of first aid?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1e5503460f94c3665f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
CAUTIONNeck and Spine injuries can be
life threatening and my result in permanent paralysis so avoid moving the patient at all cost until EMS arrives
Watch for SHOCK since most bone injuries can result in shock
