Skeletal injuries refer to damage to the bones in the body, often caused by accidents, falls, or sports activities. Common types of skeletal injuries include fractures, where the bone breaks, and sprains, which involve ligaments. These injuries can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected area, making it important to seek medical attention. Treatment for skeletal injuries typically involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation, known as the RICE method. In more severe cases, a doctor may recommend a cast or surgery to help the bone heal properly. Rehabilitation exercises may also be necessary to restore strength and flexibility after recovery.
