How should basketball players manage their ankle injuries?

Joint sprains are the most common sports injuries and occur when the body loses its center of gravity, steps on someone else's foot when landing, or trips over the foot. In sprains, joint swelling, pain, and fractures may occur locally. 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 injury (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 joint with one hand and push it back, and at the same time hold the heel with the other hand and pull it forward to check whether the range of motion has become larger (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**.
