Ankle joint sprain, commonly known as "sprain", is the most rare activity injury. Many people are not properly treated after sprain, resulting in delayed recovery, which has a significant impact on the task, survival and activity ability, and even retrogression to repeated sprain, and secondary pivotal arthritis.
After sprain, it is possible to produce ligament rupture. If you continue to walk every day, it is equivalent to still pulling the ligament. Many patients found that their bones have nothing to do with continuous exercise, so they will miss the best period of ligament growth.
The second thing a sprain can do is break blood vessels. There are abundant blood vessels on the surface of the ankle hinge ligament. When the ligament breaks, these blood vessels are also torn, which can cause ecchymosis, even adhesion, and affect the recovery of the ankle hinge.
What should be done in the first time after sprain?
Press the pain point immediately. After sprain, the first time should press the pain point. First of all, you need to touch your external ankle, touch a prominent point, and then touch a small pit 1 cm down, and then 1 cm forward to find the position of the location of the anterior fibular ligament. Then continue to press, probably 20 minutes later, and then other treatment, such as bleeding will be significantly reduced.
Fixed in real time. It is found that at present, the first thing for ligament rupture is to fix plaster on the injured part, but plaster is absolutely not breathable, and many patients can not bear it. Therefore, ankle protection is another alternative. Many families have some movable ankle protectors, just like thickened socks. However, this ankle protectors only have the function of active maintenance. In case of acute ligament damage, its fixed consequences are not enough. In case of acute ligament injury, hard ankle protection is recommended. There are two kinds of hard ankle protection, one is buckle, the other is frenum, both of which can play a good role in fixation. The fixed time is usually 3-4 weeks. After 3-4 weeks, the ligament at the juncture of ankle pivot can be completely healed, and then the next step of rehabilitation can be done.
Ice. After the blood vessel is torn, do not apply hot compress, but choose ice compress, so as to expand the blood vessel, reduce the outflow of blood, and play the role of detumescence. We should learn to make public mobile medical ice packs. The advantage of this kind of ice bag is that after putting ice and water on the outside, it creates a soft structure, which can make all the deflections of the ankle hinge get ice. Before applying ice, lay a towel over the ankle hinge, mainly to avoid frostbite. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the time of ice application. Generally speaking, it takes 20-30 minutes. We can apply ice again half an hour away, and the consequences will be better.
After these disposals, it is necessary to bandage and lift them in response. Elastic bandage, elastic socks can play a role in pressure, can reduce bleeding. In addition, we should also pay attention to raising the affected limb. Because the affected limb is from the periphery to the heart for blood return, if the lower limb droops for a long time, it will make the pivot continue to be in a state of congestion, which is not conducive to rehabilitation.
