Orbital Fracture In Sports

Hello everyone. I am aware that many of you in this room participate in collegiate sports and many of these facts that I will inform you one you may not like to hear but I feel that it is important for people to know. According to NCAA.org, 10,500 brain injuries have occurred, 3,400 of which have been from football alone. In addition to this, 30% of these have been in females. Brain injuries are extremely hard on the body and can result in life long damage or even death, and it is very important for the student athletes to be aware of these risks and what they can do to prevent them.

There are many specific types of fracture that occur in the thumb and first metacarpal, fractures of the proximal phalange and distal phalange are simpler to manage than the more complex Bennett and Rolando fractures which involve the joint between metacarpal and carpal bones (Day & Stern, 2010). If a fracture occurs in the first metacarpal, or proximal or distal phalange the patient will experience pain to the thumb, the area may appear bruised and will swell; patient also in most cases experience a loss in function and are unable to complete tasks such as pinching motions (The Royal Berkshire NHS Trust, 2013). Anne is not experiencing any loss of function in her arm and there is no swelling of the thumb; consequently, it is unlikely that Anne has fractured her first metacarpal, distal or radial

One of the most common truths that people have a problem with when the subject is contact sports is the injuries that are involved in playing such sports. Sports such as Football, Rugby, Lacrosse, and Hockey are all considered contact sports due to the volume of hitting and personal contact that occurs when one plays these kinds of sports. All though friendships and building one's character can take place when playing a contact sport, the risk outweigh the reward when it comes to the research done on injuries that occur every year when playing sports such as the ones

MMA is a serious sport that leaves many athletes in critical condition whether it is after a match or later in retirement. They have a great risk of head trauma. The main goal of MMA is to physically harm the opponent. In the end of the match on will be leaving with head injuries. Today researchers are taking serious attention to head trauma. About 900 people in boxing have died because of trauma to the head (“Boxing Regulation”). This does not include people that have died after they have retired, and their cause of death was from early years of boxing.

hockey, boxing, soccer, football, and skiing. All of these traumas to the head can cause

“For example, collision sports such as football and ice hockey characteristically have more acute traumatic injuries than sports such as swimming and track. Boxing has more head-related trauma because of the focus of the sport. Within each sport, a general injury pattern and specific types of injury are unique to the sport. One type of injury that can occur in any sport or physical activity is concussion”. (Cerebral Concussion: Causes, Effects, and Risks in Sports).

Therefore, a group of researchers consisting of former team physicians from the NFL and NCAA as well as members of the Department of Neurosurgery at NorthShore University HealthSystem and West Virginia University have devised a piece of equipment to protect against sports-related concussions in the form of a collar. As the first form of internal protection for head injuries, compressive collars include two beads that gently compress the jugular, which increases the amount of blood in the cranium. Increased blood flow in the cranium adds a protective layer of blood between the brain and the skull, which decreases the amount of contact between the two. This minimizes the movement of the brain, or momentum resulting from a hit, which reduces the amount of torn or rotated brain fibers (Cole, 2016). Although compressive collars haven not been tested on athletes, they have been used by the military, which is increasingly more intense than any sport, to test for wearability of the collar. Also, in an experiment conducted by the inventors of the collar to test for the sufficiency of the product, an 83% reduction in the number of torn brain fibers in lab rats wearing the collar was found. Aside from the

In the article, “Sports and Brain Injury,” Michael McCrea, Lindsay Nelson and Julie Janecek report on the surprising prevalence and effects of sport-related concussions (SRCs). Concussions are among the most frequent injuries experienced by athletes participating in contact and collision sports (McCrea, Nelson and Janecek, 2014). Neurologists have increasingly studied the short and long-term effects of these brain injuries on athletes.

Injuries can be caused through playing sports and getting in accidents at any moment of time. Soccer is known as a contact sport from headers to player-player contact. Any type of contact while playing soccer the risk of injuries depend on how hard the compact is. Injuries from playing soccer that are common are concussions, they are a major factor that can cause brain-trauma. Soccer isn’t the only sport with the risk of concussions, any sport with any physical contact has a risk of concussions, or any other injuries. Concussions have been a large factor to brain-trauma throughout the years in many sports throughout history. Throughout the speech I will be talking about the history of concussions, secondly symptoms and causes, and lastly

The hit is quick and powerful. Sight is blurry; memory is hazy. The hand in front of your face has six fingers instead of five. JFK is president and the Grand Canyon is in Alaska. Concussions are the most frequent of traumatic brain injuries and they are receiving similar treatment as a rolled ankle. Sports of all kinds, ages, and gender need to increase the precautions set forth to preventing this life threatening injury.

There has been extraordinary improvements of helmets from the old leather to the modernized-plastic football helmets along with the face mask and energy- absorbent padding. In addition, the concern over preventing concussions, have led to helmet changes, impact testing methods and reconstruction of injuries during play helping to provide insight on concussions(4). Helmets have been successful in decreasing the risk of traumatic brain injuries, but there is much concern over concussion; therefore, scholars argue the importance of technology development to address concussion(5). As the author(s), David Viano and David Halstead discusses, there is room needed for understanding the types of collisions associated in youths and the impact condition addressing collisions. There are many variables to consider addressing concussion and where they occur.

When playing sports there are many different types of injuries. There are multiple ways an injuring can happen and how it affects the players. Most importantly each injury should be treated different depending on how bad the damage is. The most common head injury is known as a concussion; a concussion is whne the brain bounces against the walls of

There are many dilemmas that plague sports. Some of those can range from bribing, cheating, racism, and sports safety. In the past the NBA had to deal with the betting scandal involving Tim Donaghy and baseball has had to deal with the issue of performance enhancers. The sports industry generates around half a trillion dollars a year and it has to deal with multiple dilemmas at the youth, college, and professional level. A growing issue with sports has been the number of injuries that athletes have had to deal with. Typical sports injuries range from twisting ankles, blowing out knees, and dislocating shoulders. Surgery and rehabilitation have helped athletes to recover and get them back on the playing field faster

The main stream of blunt trauma injuries has been reported to be related to the automobile crashes, sporting activities, and military operations. Glass splinters, which induce due to car accident, earthquake, gunshot, etc., may collide with the eye and trigger substantial scarring and, consequently, permanently affect the vision. The results of this collision with the eye and the following injuries to different components of the eye are complicated to be diagnosed by ophthalmologists. The objective of this study was to employ a Three-Dimensional (3D) computational Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) model of the human eye to assess the influences of glass splinters collision with the eye. To do this, a rigid steel-based object hit a glass wall,
