Common injuries in basketball and how to deal with them

1. Abrasion (** surface damage after friction).

Treatment: a. Mild abrasions: Those with clean wounds can generally heal themselves as long as they apply red or purple syrup.

b. Severe abrasions: (first need to stop bleeding) cold compress method (explanation), elevation limb method, bandage compression bandaging method, finger direct pointing pressure hemostasis method. Cold compress method:

It can make blood vessels constrict, reduce local congestion, reduce tissue temperature and inhibit the sensation of nerves, so it has the effect of hemostasis, pain relief and swelling, and is often used for acute closed soft tissue injury.

2. Nosebleeds (bleeding from the nose due to external impact).

Treatment: The injured person should be made to sit down, tilt his head back, breathe through his mouth temporarily, plug his nostrils with gauze, and apply a cold towel to his forehead and nose bridge, which can generally stop bleeding.

3. Sprain (caused by ligaments, tendons, and muscle tears attached to the surrounding joints when the range of motion of the joint exceeds the normal limit).

Treatment of severe sprains: Hemostasis and pain should be stopped first. The injured limb can be elevated, the wound can be washed with cold water or cold compresses with a cold towel to constrict blood vessels, reduce the degree of bleeding, and reduce pain.

Do not rub your heart to prevent increased bleeding. Then the wound is padded with cotton and compressed with a bandage. Warm compresses are used 48 hours after the injury to promote the absorption of bruises.

4. Contusion (subcutaneous tissues, muscles, ligaments or other tissues are injured under the direct action of blunt heavy equipment blow or external force, and the wound is often intact or only slightly damaged. The same treatment is the same as (3).

5. Brain ** (the head is hit by an external force or collides with a hard object, which causes the brain nerve cells and fibers to be subjected to excessive vibration. ）

It can be classified as mild, moderate, and severe encephal**.

Treatment: For patients with mild cerebral **, quiet bed rest.

After one or two days, you can participate in the appropriate activities after one week. For moderate and severe brain **, keep the wounded absolutely quiet, lie on their backs in a flat place, apply cold compresses to their heads, pay attention to keeping warm, and send them to the hospital in time**.

6. Dislocation (due to direct or indirect violence, the articular surface is removed from the normal anatomical position. ）

Handling: The action should be light, not stretched and twisted. You can first apply a cold compress, put on a bandage, keep the joint immobilized, and then ask a doctor for correction.

7. Fracture (destruction of bone integrity).

Treatment: First of all, you should prevent shock, pay attention to keeping warm, stop bleeding and relieve pain, and then bandage and fix, and send to the hospital**.

When we play basketball, especially when we are grabbing rebounds, it is easy to get muscle off-position injuries. The so-called muscle out-of-position injury is caused by excessive exertion of aggressive force on the muscles, such as flexion and extension. This leads to the rupture of muscle fibers or part of the muscle membrane in the muscle, causing internal bleeding.

In order to keep everyone out of place, it is best to rub the muscles of each part before playing basketball to let them relax. Especially for players with hard muscles, they should pay special attention during the hot and cold season.

If the unfortunate occurrence of muscle dislocation, you can do it yourself**. For example, if the muscle is out of position in the leg, the knee should be fixed for 2 to 3 days, and it should not be moved arbitrarily. At the same time, apply water or ice cold to the detached muscles.

A bandage is then applied to stop the expansion of internal bleeding, and after this treatment, it is then slightly warmed while engaging in light activities.

Playing basketball can cause bone and joint damage. Let's learn from the following points. We will introduce you to injuries in basketball and how to prevent them. I hope this helps!

1. If you sprain your ankle, wrap your ankle with tape (tripping cream, bandage) to prevent spraining. However, the most effective method remains: prepare the ankle to kick the ball on the side of the foot while strengthening the muscles and should not be used.

If you have a sprain, apply a cold compress to the injured area and apply appropriate pressure. Only ice water can be used for cold compresses. When applying pressure, a sponge should be applied first, and an elastic bandage should be used to wrap it from the top of the sponge.

2. Muscle dislocation refers to the sudden force (flexion and extension) exerted on the muscle, resulting in the rupture of muscle fibers or part of the muscle muscle membrane in the muscle, resulting in internal bleeding. Precautions: Before exercising, rub and relax the muscles of various parts, especially for muscular athletes, paying special attention to the hot and cold seasons.

**Here's how: If it happens on the legs, fix the knee for 2-3 days, don't move it randomly, and cool it with water or ice.

3. Finger stabbing is due to a strong impact on the finger. How to Prevent: Prepare well for finger movements.

Finger slaughter can be divided into five types according to the degree: sprains, dislocations, fractures, tendon rupture, contusions (**dehiscence). If a sprain occurs, ** the method is the same as for the rest of the sprain, first apply a cold compress, keep warm after 2-3 days, and massage the area at the same time.

4. Swelling and pain in the feet, movement of the feet; Especially with long-term sudden and abrupt movement exercises, you can feel the pain in your heels. This disease is also known as calcaneal disease, which is due to damage to the fatty tissue between the calcaneus and ** when the foot is on the ground. Prevention method:

Place a soft sponge under the heel or a piece of cotton on the inside of the heel to prevent the subcutaneous tissue from being pressed to one side even if the heel is subjected to force underneath. **The method of heel pain is not easy to operate. Try to avoid strong blows to the heel only until the pain is gone.

At the same time, it should be done after the exercise, such as a warm compress with a warm and damp towel.

Ankle sprain: If there is bleeding, immediately press the pain point with the thumb to stop the bleeding, and immediately give a cold compress, local compression bandaging, elevate the affected limb, and brake to rest; Knee meniscus injury: for patients with acute injury, the initial treatment is local cold compress, and thick cotton pads are used on the knee to compress and bandage and elevate the injured limb; Medial collateral ligament injury of the knee:

Immediately apply cold compresses, compression bandages, and immobilization at the scene to reduce bleeding and relieve pain.

If the ankle is sprained, you can apply some ice, and then put a bandage on it to keep the joint immobilized, knee strain, nosebleed, the injured person should sit down and lean back with a cold towel between the forehead and the bridge of the nose.

You can massage yourself, prepare more abrasion medicine, and be careful not to get wet in your life to avoid infection.

1. During treatment, fix the ankle joint with an elastic bandage, apply ice cubes to the injured area, and fix the ice pack and ankle joint with a bandage.

2. After a few minutes of fixation (about 3-5 minutes), the bandage can be removed first, at this time, the swelling of the injured part is not obvious, and the muscle spasm is also mild, so a simple examination can be carried out first.

3. The purpose of the examination is mainly to determine whether there is a possibility of fracture or dislocation and the degree of ligament damage, so as to determine the next step.

Fourth, the inspection method:

1) Pay attention to the location of the pain and tender points, the degree of swelling, and whether the joints are deformed.

2) Inversion and valgus test: the ankle joint is turned inward to check the degree of lateral ligament damage (whether the lateral range of motion of the ankle joint becomes larger or looser when the foot is varus). The ankle is then turned out to check for medial ligament damage.

3) Front drawer test: Hold the upper end of the ankle with one hand and push it back, while holding the heel with the other hand and pulling it forward to check whether the range of motion has increased (compared with the uninjured side).

4) If the sprain is only mild, ice can be continued and compression bandaging can be applied to elevate the affected limb. If the sprain is more severe, you should be sent to a doctor**.

Hydrogen peroxide, plaster, cotton swab, band-aid, Yunnan Baiyao spray, bandage, gauze. Abrasions can be simply disinfected with hydrogen peroxide, try to wrap them, and do not let sweat flow into the wound. It is best to put an ice cube on the foot, spray it with Yunnan Baiyao, and then use a bandage to set it, and do not move.

Broken skin must be treated, disinfected, scratched by iron can not be used with bandages, tetanus is anaerobic, can not be bandaged, it is best to break the resistance, the first time to wash the injured position with cold water, so good fast, 24 hours after the hot water compress. It is best to prepare before the activity, wrists, ankles, whole body, do not leave long nails. It is best not to play on rough concrete floors

Depending on what kind of injury you have, if your foot is broken, you either stand up straight and jump, or don't move, and if you are bruised, go back to disinfect and paste Yunnan Baiyao.

If you have a broken foot, then sit down and rest for a while, and the pain will be reduced, and as for other minor injuries, if you don't have anything on your body, then you can only rinse it with water, and if you have soap, the effect will be better.

Well, I usually rinse with water and disinfect it, apply some red potion, and it will be fine after half an hour. On the joints, bending can be a little painful.

Bundy will do the trick. Buy a bracer, it doesn't hurt much if you fall while playing basketball.

Playing basketball always sprains your ankle, so how do you deal with it properly?
