Sports accident

What to do

  1. Stop playing and get assessment after a head impact with symptoms.
  2. Do not test running on an injured leg.
  3. Support the joint comfortably without straightening it. Deformity or inability to move needs medical care. Do not drive with an injury preventing safe driving.

What to avoid

  1. Do not resume play just because dizziness stopped.
  2. Do not try to put a dislocated joint back.
