Injury is damage to the body, usually caused by physical force. Major trauma is injury that can lead to prolonged disability or even death. Worldwide, more than 4.3 million people die each year from traumatic injuries. Traumatic injuries may occur due to accidents, or they may be the result of intentional acts of violence. Injuries can be classified by their location. Most commonly they are located on the upper and lower extremities, but brain and heart injures are the most serious. Injuries can be classified according to their cause. For example, trauma, repetitive strain, toxins or burns. Injuries can also be due to internal damage to tissues or organs.
