Question 5

Dislocation

Answer 5

A dislocation is when a bone at a joint is forced out of its normal position. Often occurs as a result of a hard blow which causes one of the bones to be displaced.


Symptoms: deformity and swelling of the joint, which is locked out of position.

Question 6

Torn cartilage

Answer 6

Cartilage is a firm elastic substance which lines adjoining bones. It absorbs the impact on the bones while reducing the friction during sports/activity. 


Damage to cartilage often occurs due to wear and tear from long-term overuse.

Question 7

Soft tissue injury

Answer 7

Joints are where two or more bones meet. They are particular prone injury because movement past the range can tear or pull tendons and ligaments.

Question 8

Strains

Answer 8

A strain is a twist, pull or tear of a muscle or a tendon (while a sprain is an injury to a ligament). 


Most common strains are in the back and the hamstrings.

Question 9

Sprains

Answer 9

A sprain is a damaged ligament. One of the most common sprains in sport is a twisted ankle.
Sprains often occur when stretching too far past the normal range of a joint, but can also be caused by falling or colliding with an opponent E.g. Harry Kane against Bournemouth.
Symptoms: Swelling

Question 10
