How it's used
Focuses specifically on the act of continuing to perform a duty or activity despite having sustained an injury. It is almost exclusively used in formal or semi-formal contexts, such as sports reporting or news, rather than in casual conversation about minor everyday cuts or bruises. It implies a sense of grit or professional dedication.
Examples

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe a simple injury in daily life, as it sounds overly dramatic or journalistic. Use 受傷 instead for general statements about being hurt.
