Skeletal muscle is integral to life and functions to produce movement and locomotion, postural control, respiratory activity, and heat production. Yet, injuries to skeletal muscles occur across the lifespan, and depending on the injury mechanism, nuances in physiology and severity, how and if recovery of muscle function is possible is varied. This chapter presents the current physiologic understanding of various traumatic skeletal muscle injuries with attention to landmark work that has built the foundation for our current understanding. Injuries ranging from those that leave the extracellular matrix (ECM) intact or completely lost will be discussed as well as the common eccentric contraction-induced and ischemia-reperfusion injuries.

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
