In the early spring, when all things recover and spring flowers bloom, many people have the idea of exercising. However, spring sports are exquisite and need to prevent sports injuries.
Recently, the number of patients in the orthopaedic outpatient department of Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital has increased significantly due to joint pain, tendon/ligament/cartilage injury, and joint dislocation due to outings, improper exercise. Wang Jing, director of the Department of Joint and Sports Medicine at Hunan People’s Hospital, said that according to statistics, the number of patients with sports injuries in spring is 30% higher than in other seasons. cause sports injuries.
It was time for a mountain hike, and the woman’s osteoarthritis was aggravated
The sun was good the first two days. Auntie Chen, 50, invited three or five friends to go hiking. Unexpectedly, after returning home, Aunt Chen felt knee pain that night. Later, the pain was unbearable when walking. She went to the hospital and was diagnosed with “osteoarthritis”. Her symptoms worsened after climbing a mountain.
Wang Jing said that people with poor knee joints should try not to choose mountain climbing. Although mountain climbing is good for physical fitness, it varies from person to person. It is not recommended for middle-aged and elderly people, especially those with osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, to often climb mountains. This is because, compared with walking on flat ground, the pressure of the human body on the knee joint increases by four to five times, and the frictional stress on the articular cartilage surface and the meniscus increases, which is easy to cause joint damage. Once the wear and tear increases, it is almost irreversible. . It is recommended to choose sports on flat ground as much as possible, such as walking, jogging, etc.
A “gorgeous turn” on the field caused the meniscus to suffer
34-year-old Xiaowen didn’t exercise much in winter, but in the spring, it increased After a lot of exercise, I had a basketball game with a few colleagues a few days ago. On the court, Xiaowen performed a lunge and dribbling the ball to turn around quickly, which caused the knee meniscus injury and had to be operated on.
Wang Jing said that for those who have not exercised for a long time, they should be fully prepared before exercising, and fully stretch the shortened muscles and ligaments. At the same time, it is necessary to master the amount of exercise, choose the exercise program that suits you, and gradually increase it from a small amount until you get used to it, so that the body organs that are still in “hibernation” will gradually wake up.
Don’t let shoulder dislocation become a ‘habit’
18-year-old Zhang dislocated his right shoulder after a basketball game last March. The hospital was able to move freely after manual reduction. Unexpectedly, in the past year, Xiao Zhang dislocated his shoulder repeatedly 4 times and had to go to the hospital for surgery.
Wang Jing said that traumatic shoulder dislocation is most common in people aged 14 to 34 years old, and the recurrence rate of shoulder joint dislocation is as high as 90% for those younger than 20 years old. Dislocations will be induced when you are in the right position, such as “shooting”, “smashing”, “serving” and other actions, and some of them will be dislocated again when you are on a bus, and the hand lever will assist you to stand still when you encounter a sudden brake. . For the first time shoulder dislocation in adolescents with labrum injury and elderly people with shoulder dislocation caused by rotator cuff tear, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible.
