ligamentitis

Introduction

Introduction to ligament inflammation The ligament is the tissue that connects the two bones. The most common types of ligament strains are: ligament strain on the lateral side of the ankle, which is what we usually say, and the ligament strain on the knee joint. Swelling and congestion may occur in the ligament strain. The ligament strain is caused by external force that causes the joint to move beyond the normal physiological range, causing ligament strain, partial fracture or complete rupture around the joint. This is called a joint ligament sprain. After the sprain of the joint ligament, local swelling, pain, tenderness, and subcutaneous hemorrhage can be seen in the bruising area. Correct handling of joint ligament sprains early is very important. Because ligament tissue is not easy to regenerate and recover, if it is handled improperly or misdiagnosed and turned into a chronic disease, dysfunction may be left behind, and it may be easily sprained again. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.001% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: ligament injury cruciate ligament injury

Cause

Cause of ligamentitis

Ligamentitis is a chronic, non-red, non-tumor, non-fever, painful aseptic inflammatory injury, the most vulnerable to damage to the superficial fibers of the chest 3-5 and the waist 3-1 supraspinous ligament. Or secondary to the intervertebral disc, spinal disease is a common cause of this disease.

Prevention

Ligamentitis prevention

First, do warm-up activities before the exercise, so that the joints heat up first.

Second, do not exercise under fatigue, so the reaction is slow, and the movement is not easy to coordinate.

Third, strengthen the exercises of lower limb strength to ensure the stability and flexibility of the knee joint.

Fourth, in sports, it is necessary to prevent accidental damage caused by rough movements.

Fifth, pay attention to the warmth of the knee joint, and the hot compress and massage of the knee joint can be performed regularly every day.

Sixth, avoid excessive fatigue of the knee joint, try not to do the knee joint squat exercise.

Seventh, those who are too obese should lose weight.

Eighth, avoid overload when exercising.

Complication

Ligamentitis complications Complications ligament injury cruciate ligament injury

Taking knee joint ligament injury as an example, the knee joint has complex structure and many traumas. The damage is mostly combined injury, especially the complication of the radial collateral ligament injury is more than 73%. Among them, the grade III injury combined with other structural damage. About 100%. Common injuries include anterior cruciate ligament injury, posterior cruciate ligament injury, meniscus injury, bone contusion, fracture, joint effusion, and soft tissue blood stasis around the knee joint. Patients with lateral collateral ligament injury may damage the common peroneal nerve and have a sagging of the foot.

Symptom

Symptoms of ligaments common symptoms ligament strain ligament rupture ligamentum flavum hypertrophy

In general, patients have major thoracic pain, accompanied by chest tightness, shortness of breath, palpitations and other symptoms. Some of the symptoms are very similar to myocardial infarction, which is easily misdiagnosed in the clinic. However, when the careful doctor palpated, there was obvious tenderness behind the thoracic vertebrae. The ECG is not very supportive of myocardial infarction. I have found that as long as patients with thoracic vertebral ligament inflammation, cervical vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae are more or less problematic. This should be related to the anatomical location of the thoracic spine at the center of the spine.

Acute muscle strain secondary to muscle spindle and dominating nerve involvement, the cause of the disease is that the injured did not get the correct treatment and a good resting rest caused by repeated muscle damage and secondary edema caused by nerve invasion. Due to repeated long-term muscle damage, muscle fibers have the same degree of calcification and finally secondary soft tissue myositis. In addition, the treatment of aunts, resulting in a condition of unhealed and aggravated, resulting in muscle contracture that is unfavorable for flexion and extension. The onset of the disease is a composite injury. The treatment must be enhanced by traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the blood supply of the affected tissue and the affected nerve, so that the fibrotic muscle scar is softened, and the excitability activates the paralyzed nerve function to control the nutritional blood supply of the muscle. Treatment can be fundamentally restored.

Examine

Ligamentitis check

1, X-ray inspection

Note the avulsion fracture caused by ligament traction and pay attention to the presence or absence of tibial plateau fracture. Stress X-ray examination is valuable for the diagnosis of ligament injury and instability. For example, if the knee joint is in the inversion or valgus stress, the corresponding internal or external gap changes.

2, magnetic resonance

Pay attention to the structural integrity of the layers, especially the anomaly signals.

3, arthroscopy

It is helpful to observe the cruciate ligament, meniscus injury, deep collateral ligament and joint capsule ligament injury, osteochondral fracture.

Diagnosis

Ligamentitis diagnosis

The factors that lead to ligament inflammation of the waist are: sedentary, long standing, long bending, weight bearing, sitting too low, waist sprain, and sleeping soft bed, etc., usually try to avoid these. Now you have to sleep on a hard bed. When you are lying in bed, you can put a small pillow on your waist. You can go back later, often hang the horizontal bar, and do the 'two-headed' movement (squatting with your head and feet up) Strengthen the psoas muscle to help restore lumbar disc herniation. Do not bend over when lifting heavy objects. You should first get down to get heavy objects, then slowly get up, try not to bend over, pay attention to keep warm at the waist, try not to get cold.
