Students who want to end the summer vacation and "beasts return to the cage"

The 15 -year -old Wang accidentally sprained his ankle when he played a basketball. During the inspection, he found that "the right ankle was torn off" and was admitted to the hospital because of the "right ankle fracture and the swelling of the surrounding soft tissue".

Qin classmates from the North District of Qingdao came to the hospital for treatment. He sprained his feet during exercise. After walking and standing for a long time, swelling and pain increased. In severe, surgical treatment is needed.

Different from the first two classmates sprained for the first time, the student Cheng did not take his heart when he first sprained for the first time and did not do special treatment. This was the third time he had sprained his ankle in the near future.

"The school was starting immediately. After the start of school, the academic task was tense. While still on the holiday, I had a pain with my friends. I might be too hard and sprained my feet." Carefully asked the cause, and several students said almost consistent.

According to the situation of different patients, Professor Xu Hailin, an expert in the trauma orthopedics of Qingdao Hospital (Qingdao Maternal and Children's Hospital) of the People's Hospital of Peking University, and the team formulated a precise treatment plan.

25%of the human body in the foot

Ankle is the most vulnerable to injury

25%of the human body's bones are concentrated in the foot, and the feet have the role of load, walking and shock absorption. Each foot is under tremendous pressure every day. Due to the complexity of the foot and soft tissue structure of the ankles, the skin is thin and the blood supply is poor. Nerves, tendons and blood vessels concentrate. If it is not diagnosed and treated in time after injury, it will affect the quality of daily life.

"Exercise not only refers to playing, cycling, etc., but also includes walking, running and jumping in daily life." Experts introduced that more than half of the damage of the entire orthopedic department is a sports damage caused by various ways. Among them, the ankles are the most. Essence

After the ankle sprains

Just take two days of rest?

After the ankle is sprained, most people will think it is a small problem. It is good to rest for two days, but may leave sequelae unknowingly. Delay treatment will lead to a long recovery time. Patients with schedules will remain chronic pain, chronic swelling, and ankle weakness. 50%of them will have chronic external ankle instability and repeated sprains, that is, habitual lame.

There are two main reasons for habitual lame.

First, sprains will cause destruction to varying degrees of ligaments, and increase the risk of sprains again;

Second, the ontology feeling in the ankle ligament can perceive the speed and position. After the body feels damage after the sprains, it is difficult for the patient to accurately perceive the position of the ankle during walking and exercise, it is difficult to maintain the body balance, and it is easy to cause repeated sprains to the ankle.

What should I do after the ankle sprains?

If dizziness, nausea, vomiting, dyspnea, etc., don't support it for a while.

After the ankle sprains, the classic RICE principle can be used to deal with:

1. Rest (REST):

Stop using the injured ankle to step on the ground. When walking, you can turn around and drop your body's center of gravity on a healthy ankle.

2. ICE:

You can use ice towels or ice packs every 1 to 2 hours to press the ankle joint for 10 ~ 15 minutes to reduce the temperature of the injured area and reduce the inflammatory response and muscle spasm. Prevent frostbite. Generally speaking, in a sober state, you can apply repeated ice within 48 hours after injury.

3. Compression:

Under the guidance of a doctor, use elastic bandage to press the injured ankle joint to reduce swelling. Be careful not to bandage too tightly and avoid hindering blood circulation in the foot.

4. Elevation:

Lie the body flat, raise the affected limb, higher than the heart position, pad the pillow under the wounded feet, reduce the swelling of the joints, and promote recovery.
