What about ligament sprain?

1, cold compress and hot compress

Wash the injured part with cold water or apply cold ice to stop bleeding. Then cover the bandage and press hard to prevent swelling. After 24 ~ 48 hours, the bleeding in the injured area has stopped. At this time, you can use a warm towel for hot compress or massage to reduce swelling and promote blood absorption. When warm and hot compress, the temperature should not be too high, the time should not be too long, and the massage should not be too heavy, so as not to aggravate exudation, edema or rebleeding.

2. Acupuncture

Acupuncture treatment is not limited by injury time, so the treatment is more flexible. Doctors will treat different acupoints with acupuncture according to the injured part.

3. Massage and physical therapy

Generally, it can't be treated within 24-48 hours after injury to prevent swelling or bleeding from getting worse.

How to treat ligament sprain?

1, ligament sprain should be rested immediately.

After ligament injury, stop exercising immediately, avoid excessive sprain due to secondary injury, reduce bleeding, and don't let the injured joint bear any more weight. In the process of exercise, due to the external force, the joint activity exceeds the normal physiological range, which leads to the ligament around the joint being pulled, partially broken or completely broken, which is called joint ligament sprain. The parts prone to joint ligament sprain are knee joint, finger joint and ankle joint. Because ligament tissue is not easy to regenerate and recover, if it turns into a chronic disease due to improper treatment or misdiagnosis, it may leave dysfunction and be easy to sprain again in the future.

2, ligament sprain should be immediately cold compress.

There will be swelling and congestion in the strained area. Rinse the injured area with cold water immediately or use ice cubes or other cold compress methods, which will help relieve pain and swelling, because lowering the temperature will reduce blood circulation. Each cold compress lasts 15 to 20 minutes, three or four times a day.

3. Ligament sprain compresses the injured part

Pressing the injured part with bandages or other methods can reduce bleeding and congestion. The bandage should be moderately elastic, and you can feel the pressure but it won't make your branch numb or ischemic.

4, ligament sprain should raise the affected limb.

The main purpose of raising the affected limb is to reduce swelling and promote blood return.

5, ligament sprain should be checked and treated.

If the ligament is completely broken or suspected to be complicated with fracture, you must consult a doctor for further examination and then treat it after pressure dressing.

How to differentiate ligament injury

Differential ligament rupture

Ligament rupture is often accompanied by sprain and fracture. Generally speaking, it is because of the action beyond the range of joint activity that the related ligaments are passively pulled, resulting in tearing or complete fracture.

Different ligament strains

After ligament strain, local swelling, pain, tenderness and subcutaneous bleeding can be seen in the blue area. In vertebrates, ligaments are connective tissue cords that connect bone fragments with each other and are closely parallel to elastic fibers. According to the history of trauma and the above clinical manifestations, a definite diagnosis can be made. Local examination combined with X-ray examination found no signs of fracture and dislocation, and the diagnosis was made.

What are the common ligament injuries?

Common ligament injuries include posterior cruciate ligament injury, anterior cruciate ligament injury, lateral ligament injury of knee joint, medial collateral ligament rupture of knee joint, ulnar collateral ligament injury of thumb metacarpophalangeal joint, acute ankle ligament injury, lateral collateral ligament injury of knee joint and cruciate ligament injury.

Treatment of old collateral ligament

Old lateral collateral ligament rupture.

We should strengthen the exercise of quadriceps femoris to enhance the stability of knee joint. If the knee joint is unstable, the tendon in the adjacent area can be used for ligament reconstruction. Recently, it has been reported that carbon fiber is used as the material for reconstructing lateral collateral ligament, and satisfactory results have been achieved.

How to do ligament sprain 2 treat knee ligament injury.

I. Treatment of fresh collateral ligament injury

1, treatment of partial rupture

If the ligament is partially broken, the knee joint can be placed in the flexion position of 150 ~ 160 and fixed with long leg plaster (excluding ankle). You can walk in plaster after one week, remove the fixation after 4 ~ 6 weeks, practice knee flexion and extension activities, and pay attention to exercising quadriceps femoris.

2. Treatment of complete rupture

If the ligament is completely broken, such as emergency surgery to repair the broken ligament, it will be fixed with long leg plaster for 6 weeks after operation. If combined with cruciate ligament injury, the cruciate ligament should be repaired first, and then the side collateral ligament should be repaired; When the meniscus is injured, the injured meniscus should be removed first, and then the injured ligament should be repaired.

3. Treatment of old collateral ligament

In case of old lateral collateral ligament rupture, quadriceps femoris exercise should be strengthened to enhance the stability of knee joint. If the knee joint is unstable, the tendon in the adjacent area can be used for ligament reconstruction. Recently, it has been reported that carbon fiber is used as the material for reconstructing lateral collateral ligament, and satisfactory results have been achieved.

4. Treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injury

Surgical suture should be tried if the anterior cruciate ligament breaks less than two weeks. At present, arthroscopic ligament suture is advocated.

How long can ligament sprain on the foot be cured?

1, natural recovery for 4 months. If the ligament is pulled and torn, it is best to treat it with Jiegu Powder, which can promote the absorption of local tissue exudates as soon as possible, relieve pain quickly, eliminate swelling and help complete healing.

The temperature should not be too high, the time should not be too long, and the massage should not be too heavy, so as not to aggravate exudation, edema or rebleeding. In order to promote the recovery of joint function, we should pay attention to the combination of motion and static, and carry out painless activities at an early stage. Then apply Sanqi Huoxue ointment to the affected area to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis and promote soft tissue regeneration.

After the basic recovery, it is necessary to strengthen the strength training of muscles around the joints and improve the relative stability of the joints. Soft tissue injury generally exists the phenomenon of qi stagnation and blood stasis. You can choose foods with the functions of promoting qi circulation and blood circulation, removing blood stasis and relieving pain, such as notoginseng, scallion, dried tangerine peel, rose, crab, rape, arrowhead, eggplant and hawthorn. But be careful, if there is still bleeding, don't choose. Long-term injury, mostly deficiency syndrome, should choose foods that benefit liver and kidney, such as grapes, black beans, pork, mutton, rabbit meat and so on.
