Remember the different Types of head injury through the day at the race-track where the different head injuries are racing each other. An open head injury is one that penetrates the skull, shown by the open head commencing the race. A linear fracture is a type of open head injury and is the most common skull fracture, shown by the linear track. Comminuted fractures are where the scalp shatters into pieces and depresses into the brain, the comma-newt who was run over on the road. Depressed fractures involve inward depression, the depressed-head with indent who is pulling open the open fractured head, as open fractures are described by a scalp laceration showing an opening to brain tissue. Basilar skull fractures occur at the base of the skull, the bass-sailor who is in first place. Closed head injuries do not penetrate the skull, and are shown by the closed head-injury on a different track. Coup and contrecoup&nbsp;involve the brain moving inside the skull from high impact, the coupe and counter-coupe crashing head-on, injuring different parts of their heads. Brain contusions are closed head injuries that can lead to swelling or hematoma, the bruised brain racing this disastrous course, crashing into the head-percussion maracas, as concussions are also in this category. So in quick review, the different types of head injury include open head injuries and closed. Open head injuries include linear, comminuted, depressed, open and basilar skull fractures. Closed head injuries include coup and contrecoup injuries, brain contusions, and concussions.

Hello and welcome to another beautiful day at the races. I’m your announcer, Typewriter with Head Injuries and I’m so thrilled to be with you to witness this all-star race here today. Opening the first race is Open Head Injury at the start of the Linear Track. AND THEY’RE OFF!&nbsp; OH NO, it looks like we already have a casualty on the track! It’s Comma-newt and he’s fractured on the road. Depressed-head with indent ran him over and he looks pretty sad about it as he grasps towards Open-fractured Head. But don’t expect any sympathy from him, he’s driving like a madman in second place. And the undefeated champion Bass-sailor takes first place.&nbsp; On the Closed track, Closed Head Injury watches in horror as a horrendous crash ensues. It began when Coupe and Counter-coupe&nbsp;crashed head-on, causing a collision. Now Bruised brain’s car is totaled and the last racer Head-percussion is out of commission too. Nobody wins this race, what a tragedy.&nbsp;
