Q

What are some risk factors for avulsion injuries?

A

Risk factors include:

* Training load
* Playing surface
* Muscle tightness

These factors can increase the likelihood of sustaining an avulsion injury.

28
Q

What is a common site for both acute fractures and stress fractures?

A

Tibia

The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg.

29
Q

What type of trauma is a common cause of acute tibia fractures?

A

Direct trauma to the bone

30
Q

What are common mechanisms for stress fractures in the tibia?

A

Repetitive running or jumping

31
Q

What is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg?

A

Tibia

32

Distal radius fracture

33
Q

What type of fractures are mostly seen in the wrist and hand?

A

Acute fractures

34

What is the mechanism of injury for a distal radius fracture?

A

A fall onto an outstretched hand

35
Q

True or False: Over-use is a common cause of distal radius fractures.

A

False

36
Q

Fill in the blank: Any of the bones in the wrist and hand can become fractured, however, some are more common than others. The _______ is the most common type of wrist fracture.

A

distal radius fracture

37
Q

What types of fractures can occur in the 5th metatarsal?

A

Acute or stress response fractures

38
Q

Where do stress fractures of the 5th metatarsal typically occur?

A

Further back on the bone

39
Q

What is the mechanism behind stress fractures in the 5th metatarsal?

A

Repetitive over-use

40
Q

What typically causes fractures of the head and shaft of the 5th metatarsal?

A

Impact or extreme force

41
Q

What is an avulsion fracture of the 5th metatarsal?

A

Occurs when the foot rolls too far inwards and the tendon of the peroneal muscle pulls away from the bone

42
Q

What can cause an avulsion fracture of the 5th metatarsal?

A

It can be traumatic or due to over-use

43
Q

What is a lumbar stress fracture?

A

An over-use injury.

44
Q

Who is more susceptible to lumbar stress fractures?

A

Youth athletes who are at PHV.

45
Q

What type of athletes are at increased risk of lumbar stress fractures?

A

Athletes who frequently rotate through their core or complete high-load repetitive actions.

46
Q

What factors increase the risk of lumbar stress fractures?

A

Poor posture and weak stabilising muscles.

47
Q

What can sport governing bodies do to ensure safety in sports?

A

Change/update rules based on injury epidemiology data

This involves assessing data on injuries to make informed decisions about rule changes.

48
Q

What is the purpose of head injury assessments in sports?

A

To evaluate and manage head injuries during play

These assessments help in determining whether a player can safely continue participating.

49
Q

What type of tackles are addressed in the context of Rugby?

A

It helps reduce the risk of injuries

Protective gear is designed to safeguard players from impacts and injuries.

51

A

Head impact technology

This technology can monitor and assess the severity of head impacts during games.

52
Q

What is the aim of protective helmets?

A

To redistribute the impact forces

Helmets are designed to minimize the risk of head injury during impacts.

53
Q

What are the two main components of a helmet?

A

Tough exterior and a foam interior

The tough exterior absorbs impact while the foam interior provides cushioning.

54
Q

At lower speeds, what do helmets provide?

A

The desired level of protection

Helmets are effective in protecting against injuries at lower speeds.

55
Q

What happens to the level of protection from helmets at higher speeds?

A

The level of protection diminishes

Higher speed impacts can exceed the protective capability of helmets.

56
Q

What is a performance consideration regarding helmets?

A

False sense of protection could increase risk of injury to self and others

Users may engage in riskier behaviors believing they are fully protected.

57
Q

What does the British Dental Association recommend for anyone participating in contact sports?

A

Mouthguards

58
Q

Why should mouthguards be well fitted?

A

To offer full protection

59
Q

What does the Academy of Sports Dentistry state about mouthguards?

A

They must protect from direct and indirect trauma

60
Q

How often should mouthguards be inspected?

A

Routinely by a dentist, depending on the age of the athlete and demands of the sport

61
Q

What aspects can mouthguards affect that may impact athletic performance?

A

Speech and comfort

62
Q

True or False: Mouthguards are proposed to reduce the risk of concussion.

A

True

63
Q

Mouthguards should be inspected by a dentist based on what factors?
