One of the most stressful situations any person can go through (or have their child go through) is being treated for a major trauma.

Experience ranges from every local and national sports team imaginable, from novice to very skilled athletes.

Many times, acute injury is caused by a simple fall. For example, a dislocated shoulder starts with an outstretched hand, and the momentum of the fall and twisting the body around forces the shoulder out of joint. The collarbone is the most common fracture with skiers and snowboarders, second only to the wrist. The force of impact from this type of injury may occur from a hit or fall on the arm, and is then transferred up to the collarbone, and snaps. A sudden lift of a heavy object or fall on an extended arm can cause a rotator cuff injury. The most common cause of a hip fracture is from a fall or blow to the side of the hip. Tibial fractures frequently happen in automobile accidents or from a sports fall.
