Question
what is an example of an acute injury? spraining a wrist getting a limb amputated breaking a back
An acute injury is a sudden, short - term injury. Spraining a wrist is a common acute injury that occurs suddenly, for example, during a fall or a sudden twist. Limb amputation is usually a result of a more severe, often non - acute (in the sense of sudden injury leading to amputation immediately) situation like a severe accident with long - term consequences or a medical decision for chronic conditions. Breaking a back is a very severe injury, and spraining a wrist is a more typical example of an acute injury as it is a sudden, relatively common short - term musculoskeletal injury.
