What symptom did ankle sprain fracture have

summary

Whether walking, going up and down stairs or exercising, sprain is the most common injury. According to statistics, in the United States, one in 10000 people sprains their feet every day. But for different people, the damage caused by the same external force is very different, and the corresponding countermeasures are also different. Next, let the doctor tell you how to judge after sprained foot?

What symptom did ankle sprain fracture have

First: the same sprain, the difference is very big, walking and sports sprain foot, the injury caused by the same? Is it the same when an old lady and a young man twist their feet when they go down the stairs? Experts point out that the damage caused by different people in the same situation may vary greatly. So you can't judge by the situation of others or yourself when you are young. "For example, when the same person runs and jumps, he will be faster and more impulsive than when he walks, and his injury will be more serious. When an athlete and an old lady who is often inactive twist their feet when they go down the stairs, the athlete may rest and stick a plaster to move as usual; but the old lady may "hurt her muscles and bones" and stay in bed for several months, but it is difficult to recover. " So how to judge? Experts point out that if you sprain your foot when the speed is not fast, and the foot is not swollen or painful, it may be just a sprain of the soft tissue, but not the ligament. When you sprain your foot during running and jumping, the foot swells immediately, and the pain is so great that you can't stand and walk, you may sprain the ligament. The injury is serious, which needs attention. It is suggested that you go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

Second: acute injury. It is suggested that B-ultrasound should be used to check the ligament. It is worth noting that there will be some sequelae after ligament injury - some people may be able to walk slowly after a period of delay. But you may feel weak when you walk on uneven roads, and you may get a sprain once or twice a year. In fact, this is the secondary manifestation of ligament injury - ankle instability. If not treated in time, the ligaments and articular cartilage around the ankle will wear and degenerate quickly. Just like if the belt of the machine is not handled after it is loose, the bearing and engine may also have problems quickly. If it is acute injury, it is recommended to go to the hospital for B-ultrasound or MR examination. B-ultrasound is a good method for the diagnosis of ligament or soft tissue injury. If you have sprained in the past and now have ankle instability, you can also go to the hospital to take X-ray diagnosis. This is a simple and easy examination for the diagnosis of chronic ankle instability. If it is found that the affected foot is more prone to varus than the healthy foot or is moved forward like a drawer, the lateral ankle ligament may have been broken. In the same way, we can judge whether the medial ligament is damaged by this method.

Third: how to deal with sprain? Every 1-2 hours with ice bag cold compress 20-30 minutes, ice bag and skin between the best thing with a towel separated. When not cold compress, raise the foot as much as possible to promote blood circulation and reduce ankle swelling. After ankle injury, hot compress or scald the feet with hot water 2-3 times a day from the third day, about 30 minutes each time. At the same time, extend, bend, circle and abduct the feet to promote blood circulation. When the pain and swelling disappear, joint function rehabilitation exercise can be carried out, but the intensity should not be too large.

matters needing attention

It is not suitable to walk with injured foot after sprain, including landing should avoid early. If it's just a slight sprain, you can wrap up the injured part with a tension bandage. At the same time, pay attention to rest. When you have to go down to the ground, you should also use your heel to touch the ground. If the injury is serious, even have fracture, must go to the hospital to fix with plaster, limit the activity of the foot to the greatest extent, so as to help the healing of fracture site as soon as possible. Generally, the fixed time is between one month and one and a half months.
