wrist wrestling
A game of arm strength and wrist strength
Many people, especially boys
I played it when I was reading
However, if you play with excessive or inappropriate force
There may be serious consequences:
Fractures
Excessive arm wrestling during class
Fracture of right humerus in boy
Recently, 16-year-old high school boy Xiaoqiang
Because of arm wrestling with classmates
resulting in a spiral fracture of the lower segment of the right humerus
On the morning of last Friday, the bell for the third session just rang, and the classroom of a high school get out of class in Huli District was instantly lively. The four or five boys in the back row of the class gathered together and prepared to start an arm wrestling match known as the “Battle between Men”.
The short 10-minute break between classes was too long to warm up and stretch out. Xiao Bin, nicknamed “The Great General”, shouted “Who dares to fight?”, while the relatively introverted Xiao Qiang was pushed out by his friends.
In order not to lose face in front of everyone
Little strong with thin arms and thin legs
He blushed and tried his best
After more than ten seconds of stalemate
Sudden “click” sound
Xiaoqiang’s right hand can’t move
The pain was unbearable on the spot
When the boys at the scene cheered for “The General”, Xiaoqiang’s voice of pain became louder and louder. They realized that something was wrong and quickly called the teacher and the school doctor. The school doctor found that Xiaoqiang’s arm was broken and immediately sent Xiaoqiang to him. to the hospital.
You need to rest for at least 3 months after surgery
Academic will definitely be affected
Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Xiamen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital
Tang Cong, the attending physician, applied for an imaging examination to Xiaoqiang
Check result display
He suffered a spiral fracture of the lower right humerus
Bone dislocation is obvious
X-ray showed that Xiaoqiang had a fracture in the lower segment of his right humerus.
After perfecting the preoperative preparations, Director He Fasheng, Director Liu Sheng and Dr. Tang Cong of the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Xiamen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital performed open reduction and plate screw fixation for Xiaoqiang. Xiaoqiang needs to rest and recover for at least 3 months after the operation, and his studies will definitely be affected.
X-ray after Xiaoqiang’s operation, the steel plate used for fixation can be seen.
Doctor reminder:
The humeral condyle is fragile and easy to fracture
Wrist wrestling as an item
Requirements for time and venue
Looking like a low-level competitive sport
Always loved by junior high school boys
But this sport has certain dangers
Not really suitable for untrained people
Tang Cong said that in addition to the strength of the wrist muscles, the biceps, forearm flexors, triceps, and brachioradialis will be driven. If you’re not careful, you can sprain your muscles in your arms, shoulders, etc.
Introduction to He Fasheng
It is not uncommon for broken wrists to cause fractures
The majority of fractures of the lower humerus are caused
The hospital receives more than ten cases every year
Baby boys
He emphasized that the human upper arm is a typical long bone, called the humerus. At the humerus, 3 cm-4 cm above the elbow joint, there is a junction of cylindrical and irregular flat bones, like a “welding point” . This “welded point” has less bone and is relatively fragile, and is medically called the humeral condyle. When arm wrestling, the humeral condyle is subjected to a breaking force, which is called shear force in medicine. The ability of the humeral condyle to withstand shearing force is very weak. If the direction and posture of the force are wrong when arm wrestling, it is easy to cause fracture.
At the same time, the radial nerve of the humeral shaft is closely related to the humerus, and the radial nerve is easily damaged when the middle and lower humerus is fractured. If the nerve damage is more serious, it can cause numbness and impaired movement of the wrist in the innervation area. Fractures and nerve injuries often require surgical open reduction and fixation with plates and screws.
So, here comes the problem
Can I still wrestle my wrists in the future?
Who must pay attention?
Come and learn more
These three people must pay attention to arm wrestling
Tang Cong said
Minors with developing bones,
People with lesions such as bone cysts,
People with low bone density or osteoporosis
If you are wrestling your wrists, you need to do a warm-up exercise
Don’t use too much force during the arm wrestling
Slowly continue to exert strength, gradually increase strength
Do not rotate your body suddenly to increase strength
Otherwise, it is easy to cause fractures
Do you know the correct posture and method?
Emphasis again!
Before arm wrestling
must do a good job of muscle relaxation and necessary warm-up
❶The arm should be straightened first
The core should tighten the shoulders
❷The wrist should be placed in a neutral position
Don’t be too early or too late
(A crooked arm can easily cause wrist injury)
❸Tighten the core when exerting force
The whole arm is pulled hard
A lot of times
Injury is not necessarily weak
It is more caused by improper force
Play this game orTo
Do what you can
After all, being injured is really worth the loss!
