Symptoms of foot cartilage injury

summary

Cartilage injury of ankle joint is common in ankle joint diseases. In severe cases, pain and functional limitation of affected ankle joint may occur. Ankle cartilage injury is most common in football players, so it is also called Football ankle. It can also happen in gymnastics, skiing and other sports. Because of the late talus often appear osteophyte, so the disease has been known as ankle impact osteowart. Now I would like to share with you my experience on the symptoms of cartilage injury of the foot.

Symptoms of foot cartilage injury

First, the main symptoms of ankle cartilage injury are pain and limited activity during ankle movement. In the early stage, pain occurs during activity, and later even at rest. Most of the pain sites are in front of the ankle. When kicking the ball on the instep, the osteophyte at the back of the ankle collides with the soft tissue to produce pain. During sprint and jump, the anterior lip of tibia and neck of talus collide to produce pain. With the proliferation of osteophyte, the thickening of synovial sac and the formation of free body, the limitation of joint activity becomes more and more obvious until the range of joint activity decreases significantly.

Second: articular surface friction sound can have articular surface friction sound, mainly caused by the friction of rough articular surface and hypertrophic synovium or free body. We also found that many people have habitual sprain. The common reason is that the first sprain did not get timely and good treatment, still continue to run. At this time, the joint pain and proprioceptive ability of the joint are decreased, the joint ligaments are relaxed, and the stability of the joint is decreased. A little carelessness in running will sprain the ankle, which will aggravate the joint pain, and eventually lead to ankle injury, and can not run systematically.

Third: Signs: mild swelling, tenderness, friction and friction sound, joint space reduced. Free bodies can be detected occasionally. Generally divided into two degrees: slight one degree sprain, that is, general sprain, through timely treatment, can be recovered within a week. The symptom of high ankle sprain is ankle instability. Unstable ankle will increase the wear of joint surface and the load of joint capsule in running. This relatively complex ankle injury needs more recovery time.

matters needing attention

Strengthening the muscle training around the ankle joint, using elastic bandage or plaster to bind the ankle joint after injury or during competition, preventing the ankle joint from excessive flexion and extension and varus, and avoiding repeated sprain are effective measures to prevent football ankle.
