What reason is knee joint stiff

summary

A little carelessness in life may lead to knee stiffness, which will happen to you. Knee stiffness is a common disease of middle-aged and old friends. There are many reasons for knee stiffness. Some of them were due to meniscus strain when they were young, but they ignored the treatment and left sequelae

What reason is knee joint stiff

First, knee joint stiffness is a very difficult clinical problem. Often due to knee joint injury or inflammation, lower limb fracture, long-term immobilization, resulting in knee joint sliding device adhesion, contracture, fibrosis, etc. in the case of knee joint stiffness in the extension position, the reduction of knee joint flexion and extension activities, resulting in long-term relaxation of the medial and lateral retinaculum and contracture, Because the possibility of elastic expansion of the brace itself is very small, it greatly limits the flexion of the knee joint

Second, if there is knee stiffness after trauma, it needs systematic and regular treatment, including functional exercise and surgical release. Functional exercise is mainly suitable for patients within 6 months after trauma, and can be used for extension and flexion activities. For those who can't straighten the knee, the patient should be in supine position, the foot root should be raised, the knee should be suspended, and a sandbag should be pressed in front of the knee, According to the weight that the patient can bear, continue the leg pressing training, about 1 hour each time, 3 times a day

The main causes of knee stiffness are quadriceps atrophy, adhesion, patella and soft tissue around knee adhesion and contracture. The main causes are quadriceps isometric contraction and patella passive exercise. General recovery is not a problem. After femoral head surgery, we must pay attention to the "four no" principle, in order to prevent the failure of surgery: 1, Generally 6 months later can completely go to the crutch weight-bearing walking. 2, should sit up as early as possible, in the condition allows, when the pain disappears, it is feasible to hip joint and knee joint active activity and double lower limb quadriceps exercise, can't cross legs. 3, avoid the following dangerous posture: hip joint forward bending

matters needing attention

If there is no fracture, mild patients can use local massage, physical therapy, external application of traditional Chinese medicine, joint function exerciser and manual release; severe patients should be treated with joint adhesion release, you should go to the hospital to see the Department of orthopedics and rheumatology, wish you a speedy recovery
