injury-related
Describes that something was caused or made necessary by an injury. The word is often used in a sports context to explain a player's absence or a limitation in performance.
Der Stürmer musste eine verletzungsbedingte Pause einlegen.
The striker had to take an injury-related break.
The word is made up of 'die Verletzung' (injury), the linking '-s-', and the suffix '-bedingt'. The suffix '-bedingt' means 'caused by' or 'dependent on'. So 'verletzungsbedingt' literally means 'caused by an injury.'
Sein Fehlen beim Spiel war verletzungsbedingt.
His absence from the match was injury-related.
'Verletzungsbedingt' (injury-related) can be used as an adverb to give a reason. It can also stand before a noun as an adjective and is then declined.
Der Spieler musste verletzungsbedingt ausgewechselt werden.
The player had to be substituted because of an injury.
This word is used extremely often in sports reporting. Typical combinations are 'verletzungsbedingt ausfallen' (to be out due to injury), 'verletzungsbedingt fehlen' (to be absent due to injury), or 'eine verletzungsbedingte Pause machen' (to take an injury-related break).
Die Kapitänin der Mannschaft fällt für den Rest der Saison verletzungsbedingt aus.
The team captain is out for the rest of the season due to injury.
traumatic
'verletzungsbedingt' and 'traumatisch' can both have to do with an injury. 'verletzungsbedingt' means that something happens or is necessary because of an injury, for example a break from sports. So the word mainly describes the reason. 'traumatisch' can refer medically to a physical injury, but it is very often used for emotionally very distressing experiences. For that reason, it is stronger and more serious. Learners may confuse the words because 'Trauma' can also mean an injury. In everyday language and in sports, 'verletzungsbedingt' is usually more precise when someone is absent because of an injury. 'traumatisch' fits when an experience was emotionally devastating or when medicine refers to a trauma.
Der Stürmer fehlt verletzungsbedingt beim nächsten Spiel.
The striker will miss the next match due to injury.
Der schwere Unfall war für das Kind ein traumatisches Erlebnis.
The serious accident was a traumatic experience for the child.
