Knee ligament injury, how to treat knee ligament injury

The stability of the knee joint depends on the ligaments, including the patellar ligament in the anterior, the collateral ligament on both sides, and the cruciate ligament in the middle of the knee. Ligaments rupture, and are often accompanied by other injuries, such as semilunar cartilage injuries and medial collateral ligament tears, are only when the knee is violently impacted or torsed. Knee sprains are often injuries to the collateral ligament, particularly a partial tear of the medial collateral ligament.

The symptoms of a torn ligament depend on the extent of the tear. If the collateral ligament is not completely torn, there may be mild swelling at the ligament tear, and the tenderness is limited to the local, and there is no instability in the knee joint; In addition to severe local hematoma and tenderness, the knee is often mildly swollen and unstable (eg, abnormal abduction of the knee in medial collateral ligament tears). If the cruciate ligament is torn, there will be bleeding in the joint, causing severe swelling of the entire joint and abnormal anterior-posterior movement of the knee joint.

A ligament is the tissue that connects two bones. Because ligament tissue is not easily regenerated and recovered, if it is not treated properly or misdiagnosed, it may become a chronic disease, leaving functional impairment and prone to recurrence of sprains in the future. Common symptoms of ligament inflammation are local swelling, pain, ecchymosis, and limited limb movement.

**The pathogenesis is caused by external force, which damages the muscles, muscles and bones, resulting in obstruction of meridians and stagnation of qi and blood. After the injury, the injured part is bruised and swollen, the meridians are blocked, and the qi and blood are blocked. It can be applied externally with traditional Chinese medicine plasters to relax tendons and activate blood, reduce swelling and relieve pain, invigorate blood and disperse stasis, dispel wind and cold, and conduct it to the meridians, muscles and bones through **, stimulate the body's regulatory function, quickly eliminate swelling and pain, promote functional recovery and quickly achieve the purpose.

Hello, the knee joint has a wealth of soft tissues, in addition to ligaments, there are cartilage and meniscus, whether the ligaments are injured, strained or broken, after the injury, it will generally affect the normal bending of the joint, there is a stiff and tight feeling, and cartilage, meniscus injury will appear sore, swelling, walking weakness and other phenomena, soft tissue injury is more difficult to treat in bone trauma, more difficult to treat than fractures, it is impossible to recover by eating nutrients alone, which will only waste precious time in the early stage.

In order to repair the damaged ligament, only the professional Chinese medicine of bone trauma can hope, generally the ligament injury within one month in the early stage, **in about 30 to 40 days**, the joint bending will naturally return to a normal state, cartilage, meniscus early injury ** in about 50 days can be basic**, the phenomenon of soreness and weakness will be eliminated naturally. If the injury is too long, more than three months or half a year, it is more difficult, and the recovery is not as good as the early stage.

Before the first time, it is not advisable to forcibly exercise the knee joint, so as not to aggravate the injury, use Western medicine with caution, especially hormone-containing drugs, avoid eating beef, chicken and ginger in the diet, and eat fresh vegetables and moderate meat in season.

The knee ligament mainly includes the anterior and posterior cruciate ligament and the lateral collateral ligament, including the medial collateral ligament and lateral collateral ligament. Knee ligament injury can be gradually repaired through a comprehensive method, so as to restore the function of the knee joint, as follows:

1. General**: It is necessary to pay attention to rest and immobilization, which can make the minor damage gradually heal. After the injury, it is necessary to avoid weight bearing and load again, which can reduce the re-tearing of knee joint fibers;

2. Surgery**: For larger injuries, such as ligament rupture, etc., it is necessary to confirm the diagnosis through magnetic resonance examination, and if necessary, suture and reconstruction through surgery to achieve the original extent, which can better protect the knee joint and avoid traumatic arthritis;

3. Physical and drug**: If it is a relatively minor injury, non-surgical ** is a better **method. Pay attention to local hot compresses and physiotherapy to promote blood circulation, which can gradually subside inflammation, thereby reducing the swelling of the knee joint.

Oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium, loxoprofen, celecoxib, etoricoxib, etc., can gradually improve knee joint function and reduce pain, and help ligament repair;

4. Functional exercise: patients should do more weight-free training, such as straight leg raise training, air cycling or swimming, etc., which can maintain a certain activity function of the knee joint and avoid muscle atrophy.

1. Actively carry out early restoration. In order to avoid severe dysfunction in the late stage due to unreasonable ** in the early stage.

2. Rest. Stop exercising immediately and don't put any more weight on the injured joint.

3. Cold compress. Ice cubes or other cold compresses can help reduce pain and swelling because lowering the temperature can reduce circulation. Roll hand meditation for 15 to 20 minutes at a time, three to four times a day.

4. Oppression. Compression of the injured area with bandages or other methods can reduce bleeding and bruising. The tightness of the bandage should be moderate, and the pressure can be felt but the end will not be numb or ischemia.

5. Elevate the affected limb. The main purpose of elevating the affected limb is to reduce swelling and promote blood return.

Knee osteohyperplasia, also known as knee osteoproliferative arthritis, knee arthritis, etc., is a common disease that occurs in middle-aged and elderly people over 40 years old. In recent years, the incidence of young people has gradually increased, and the main reasons are that Aimei is thin in clothing, as long as the demeanor is not warm, or there are more young people riding motorcycles and electric vehicles, which are the causes of this disease.

What are the best ways to get a knee ligament injury?

Knee injuries caused by trauma. There are often physical collisions in daily life, when we accidentally hit an object, we may not pay attention at the time, but after a while, we will feel joint pain. The best way to deal with joint pain caused by this trauma is to go to the hospital to have an X-ray to determine the ligament damage.

Ligaments cause knee pain. Due to rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, reactive arthritis, gouty arthritis and other joint inflammation, there will be joint pain manifestations. Its ** method is to choose different drugs according to different inflammations.

For example, rheumatoid arthritis is commonly used to dispel rheumatism and warm the meridians.

Prolonged exposure to cold joints and huge temperature differences are the causes of knee pain. Especially in autumn, when the temperature alternates, low temperatures or large temperature differences can cause muscles and blood vessels to constrict, causing joint pain. If this happens, the first thing to do is to keep you as warm as possible, and you can use a warm compress.

The second is to reduce the amount of exercise and let the joints rest.

Bone spur knee pain. The wear and tear of cartilage caused by various reasons in the joint, and the repair, hardening and proliferation of the bone itself, forming bone spurs, is an important aspect of joint pain. At this time, the bone spur can be removed by surgical methods, or minimally invasive**, such as high-tech superoxide surgery.

However, it is generally recommended to be conservative**.

Knee ligament injuries can be mitigated with appropriate physical exercises

1. Insist on walking every day, how far to walk can be determined according to your own situation, you can walk 3-5 kilometers with good physique, and you can reduce the amount as appropriate if you have a general physique.

2. Insist on doing squat and standing movements, once a day in the morning and evening, each time according to their physical strength 30-100 times, at the beginning of the knee joint soft can be used to hold the armrests or stable chair backrest, tableside, step by step, from less to more, from the armrests to let go of the armrests.

3. Press the legs, lift the legs to a height that can be lifted, put them on a chair or other suitable places, and gently press and pat the foot three miles. The time and force of the leg press should be moderate.

4. Insist on climbing a mountain once or twice a week, which can not only exercise legs, but also promote lung capacity, broaden horizons, release work pressure, relax mood, and promote physical and mental health. Knee pain will also be greatly relieved.

1.General**: Attention should be paid to rest and immobilization, which can allow minor injuries to heal gradually. After the injury, it is necessary to avoid weight bearing and load again, which can reduce the re-tearing of knee joint fibers;

2.Surgery**: For larger injuries, such as ligament rupture, it is necessary to confirm the diagnosis by magnetic resonance examination, and if necessary, suture and reconstruction through surgery to achieve the original extent, which can better protect the knee joint and avoid traumatic arthritis;

The disease is divided into two aspects: symptomatic and symptomatic, the symptomatic is mainly to relieve pain, reduce inflammation and reduce swelling, and the symptomatic is to promote the repair of soft tissues such as ligaments around the knee joint.

Ligament injury. The acute phase is mainly swelling and pain relief**, and the recovery phase** is selected according to the severity grade.

What is the acute phase of knee ligament injury**?

It can be managed according to the principles of acute injury management (RICE principle).

R is the abbreviation of REST, which means that the affected limb should be protected immediately after injury, stop movement, and brake to rest to prevent repeated injuries and aggravated injuries.

i is an abbreviation for ice in English, which means to apply ice immediately.

Ice in sports injuries.

The initial stage is very critical.

C is the English abbreviation of English compression, which means compression bandaging. After applying ice, the affected area should be pressurized and bandaged in time to control the movement of the injured area, avoid repeated injury actions, and reduce bleeding and exudation. In China, traditional Chinese medicine, which has the effect of stopping bleeding and relieving pain, is sometimes used to control injuries, which may play a role.

E is the English abbreviation of ELEVASION, which means to elevate the affected area, but also to achieve the purpose of reducing bleeding and exudation.

What are the general measures for knee ligament injuries?

Knee sprains.

Based on soft tissue injuries.

Different parts, different strategies.

With or without surgery, there are commonalities in the general approach. Sprain.

After that, a certain degree of joint immobilization is often required, standard wearing of protective gear, oral antipyretic analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs**, and appropriate ** exercises are carried out under guidance in the early stage.

Soft tissue injury: soft tissue refers to the human body's **, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsule, synovial sac, nerves, blood vessels, etc. When these tissues are subjected to external forces, they develop functional or structural abnormalities, which is called soft tissue injury.

It is divided into acute injury and chronic injury. Acute injuries are divided into sprains, contusions, and strains. Chronic injuries are called strain injuries.

The clinical manifestations are pain, dysfunction, muscle spasm, deformity, etc. Complications that may occur after soft tissue injury include: persistent local fever and swelling caused by vasomotor dysfunction, amyotrophy caused by nutritional disorders, joint instability due to ligament laxity, traumatic arthritis, periarticular ossification, intra-articular loose bodies, etc.

**: All kinds of soft tissue injuries (sprains, strains, contusions): directly use the external application of the bone, which is administered locally, so that the medicine can quickly penetrate into the injured part, quickly relieve pain and reduce swelling, promote blood circulation and eliminate stasis, and connect bones and tendons, to achieve the purpose, and it is safe and reliable, and it should be the first choice if there are conditions.

Pain relief and swelling for new injuries in 2-3 days, 3-6 days**. Injuries within 3 months are generally 2-3 pairs of drugs. Severe cases require 3-4 side medications.

Aged wounds require 3-6 pairs of medicines. In case of soft tissue injury, it is necessary to avoid the occurrence of nerve adhesions, muscle atrophy and other sequelae and complications. Notes:

It is forbidden for those with trauma and severe allergies. In addition, according to the specific situation, it can also be treated by taking traditional Chinese medicine to invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, massage, acupuncture, warm ironing, fumigation, rubbing, fixation and other methods.

What should I do if the acute injury of the knee joint causes a mild tear of the ligament, and can it be treated manually?

It is generally sprained.

1. How long does it take for a knee ligament sprain to heal?

If the knee joint injury is not serious, the ligament injury can be healed in about two weeks, but if the injury is severe at that time, the swelling and bruising are more obvious, then it may be considered more serious. If the injury is severe, it can lead to injuries to the lateral collateral ligaments and meniscus or cruciate ligaments of the knee, which are important stabilizing structures in the knee joint, and these tissues are soft tissues that cannot be visualized on x-rays and can only be diagnosed by clinical examination and magnetic resonance.

Don't rush when you have a ligament strain** and take your time. In normal times, pay attention to the post-care every day, take care of it, and pay attention not to be anxious and irritable in life, and maintain a good attitude. Soaking in warm water every day can speed up blood circulation and facilitate recovery.

2. Treatment of knee ligament sprain.

Rest: Stop exercising immediately and don't put any more weight on the injured joint.

Cold compresses: Ice cubes or other cold compresses can help reduce pain and swelling because lowering the temperature can reduce blood circulation. Apply a cold compress for 15 to 20 minutes three to four times a day.

Compression: Compression of the injured area with bandages or other methods can reduce bleeding and bruising. The tightness of the bandage should be moderate, you can feel the pressure but it won't make your ends tingle or ischemia.

If the injury is slight, it needs to be immobilized with a cast, which usually takes about a month, and if the injury is severe, it needs to be repaired surgically.
