Management of minor soft tissue trauma in adolescent athletes. 1986

P G Dyment

Rest, ice therapy, compression, and elevation (RICE) are important components of the initial management of acute soft-tissue injuries such as contusions, strains, and sprains. Cryotherapy should be used, in the form of an ice pack, as soon as possible after the injury, and then several times a day for 20 minutes for several days. The use of ice has a theoretical, clinical, and experimental basis. Mild pain due to an injury should be treated with acetaminophen rather than aspirin because of the latter's effect on blood coagulation.
