Popliteal tendon injury

Introduction

Introduction to diaphragmatic tendon injury The diaphragm is from the lateral side of the femoral condyle and terminates in the triangular region on the posterior side of the humerus, along with the anterior cruciate ligament to prevent the femur from shifting forward. Running downhill and excessive internal rotation can increase the forward displacement of the femur and increase the stress of the tendon. basic knowledge Sickness ratio: 0.05% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: swelling, fracture

Cause

Causes of diaphragmatic spasm injury

Most of the causes are unknown. Most patients are middle-aged and elderly. Due to poor blood supply to the tendon and repeated minor trauma, it often causes major damage, repeated or severe trauma (incomplete fracture), strain, overwork (due to incompatibility), etc. , is the most common cause of possible disease.

Prevention

Diaphragm tendon injury prevention

For the prevention of this disease and for the patient to recover better after the illness, the patient can be conditioned as follows:

1. Let the muscles rest, but avoid taking too long a break to avoid muscle atrophy.

2. If the occurrence of tendonitis is caused by exercise, changing the exercise program is a method that can be considered.

3, wash the massage bath can help improve body temperature and promote blood circulation.

4, can warm the wet towel on the knees.

5, usually stretch muscles before and during exercise.

6, wear knee pads, can strengthen muscles and tendons.

7, using ice to reduce swelling and pain, but people with heart disease, diabetes or blood vessels should not be used.

8, raise the affected part can control swelling.

9, taking steroid-free painkillers can reduce inflammation and swelling.

10, rest for a while, is the best way to relieve muscle tension.

Complication

Diaphragm tendon injury complications Complications, swelling, fracture

In the case of patients with this disease, if you do not pay attention to rest or treatment, because the movement of the lesions is too much, often the condition is constantly worsening, pain is its most obvious performance, the main complications in the later period include the following problem:

1, chronic swelling (gravity edema).

2, muscle atrophy.

3, avulsion fracture.

4, the joint is stiff.

5. The ligament is slack.

Symptom

Symptoms of diaphragmatic spasm symptoms Common symptoms Knee joint pain Knee joint swelling Knee swelling inside the joint... Joint stiffness knee joint can not be fully straightened

Mainly manifested as tenderness near the joints or joints, in some cases, numbness or tingling, joint stiffness with pain, limiting the movement of the affected joints, occasionally slight swelling of the joints, persistent pain, recurrence of the tendon from the original injury Continue to have pain or reappear after a long time.

If the patient runs downhill, it can aggravate the pain of the diaphragmatic tendon. The patient is seated at the time of diagnosis. The affected side of the heel is resting on the healthy side of the knee. The knee anterior collateral ligament is prone to tenderness.

Examine

Examination of diaphragmatic tendon injury

In order to rule out the condition of bone injury, X-ray examination and bone scan examination should be performed in the case of difficult diagnosis. X-ray examination often shows calcium deposition in tendon and tendon sheath.

Magnetic resonance can help determine the severity of tendon injury and can be accurately displayed when the tendon is completely torn, which has a certain significance for differential diagnosis.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis and diagnosis of diaphragmatic tendon injury

diagnosis

Diagnosis can be based on medical history, clinical symptoms, and laboratory tests.

Differential diagnosis

The disease should be differentiated from the following diseases:

1. Meniscus injury: caused by sudden abrupt reversal of violence, joint pain and swelling after injury, tenderness of lateral joint space, positive McIe's sign, and positive meniscus compression.

2. Traumatic knee hematoma: Intra-articular hemorrhage occurred immediately after knee joint injury, but no joint instability, positive collateral ligament separation test.

3, traumatic synovitis: joint pain after a few hours of knee joint injury, painful hinges, no joint instability.
