The Beijing Winter Olympics are in full swing
Olympians

Let many young people "plant grass" for ice and snow sports
More and more indoor skiing and ice skating rinks
Keep citizens at their doorstep
You can also enjoy the "Fast and Furious" in the snow world
However, recently in the hospital
There are also many people who have been injured because of skiing
An orthopedic doctor on Weibo once posted:
Nine surgeries today, 7 are ski-ski-ski, 4 forks (anterior cruciate ligament), 1 patellar dislocation, 1 ankle, 1 meniscus. He sighed: the probability of skiing injuries is 10%-15%, and the end of the slope is orthopedics.
Subsequently, the topic phrase "at the end of the slope is orthopedics"
It also quickly rushed to the hot search
Many netizens
They all shared their own "tragic experiences"...
In this regard, some netizens laughed and said:
"Others are Gu Ailing, you are bone love folding."
@Lilac Garden also posted an article
Research literature on skiing injuries
This document provides a retrospective analysis of the injuries of a large ski resort population in Chongli, China in 2021, and the study summarizes the situation in two snow seasons, with a total of 753 injuries, of which 167 cases have joint and/or ligament injuries, 147 cases have fractures or bone fractures, and 53 patients have cranial concussions or visceral injuries.
Among all the injured
The proportion of men is higher than that of women
And men are more likely to fracture
According to the age hierarchy, 21-30 years old injured patients accounted for the largest proportion, the paper said, on the one hand, it may be because this age group itself is the main force of skiing. On the other hand, it may be because of its better physical fitness, it is easier to pursue excitement and adventure.
Skiing is the most susceptible to injury at the knee joint
Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament is the most common
The Orthopedic Sports Medicine Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine is currently the largest sports medicine center in the province, and Dai Xuesong, chief physician, is very experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries, and among the patients he encounters, many of them are sports injuries caused by skiing.
"The saying that 'the end of the slope is orthopedic' is a joke, but it is not unreasonable. Because ice and snow sports are indeed relatively easy to cause ligament and tendon damage. In the outpatient clinic, I see at least a dozen patients who are injured due to skiing every year, and the age is generally between 20 and 40 years old. ”
Dai Cedar's most recent patient
It is a 31-year-old woman
She was injured on a ski just a few days before New Year's Day
The patient is a very fashionable girl, she is not a novice, she has a certain skiing foundation. But still during a skiing trip, she may have slid too fast and had severe pain in her right knee joint after falling.
Because of her inexperience, at first she thought it was just an ordinary knee injury, and she did not go to the hospital immediately after returning. After many days, my knees were still unsteady and in pain, so I went to the hospital for treatment. After examination, it was found that the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee was broken, and later she underwent anterior cruciate ligament repair and reconstruction surgery.
Once injured in skiing, the most vulnerable area is the knee, of which anterior cruciate ligament rupture is the most common.
Dai Cedar reminded that many injured people do not understand the injury, feel that it is not particularly painful, and can endure, so as to ignore going to the hospital for examination. After resting for a week or two, I felt better, thinking that I could walk and recovered, so I started exercising again. However, it was found later that the joints were often sprained easily, and gradually they could not exert their strength, and they did not dare to jump and support. In this case, it is very likely that the ligaments and meniscus have been damaged. The result of no early treatment is that the joints continue to be unstable and the damage gradually expands.
He reminded that any exercise should be fully warmed up, scientific exercise, and gradually. Once injured, seek medical attention in time and do not miss the opportunity for treatment.
A 23-year-old college student returned to Hangzhou during winter vacation
Ask a classmate to go skiing
One of them fell into the hospital
A few years ago, 23-year-old Xiao Zhao returned to Hangzhou from Guangzhou for the New Year, inviting several college classmates to play in the nearby ski resort, which was also the first time in his life to ski. Unexpectedly, when I was having a good time, I suddenly had an accident.
According to Xiao Zhao's classmates recalled, at that time, when he slid down from the high slope, because there were many people on the snow track, they were all crowded together, and they accidentally touched others in the middle, and the whole person's body flew out obliquely, and the moment he landed, he felt a "click" sound on his left shoulder, and he was in pain and could not stand up.
The students carried him to the emergency department of a hospital in Hangzhou for treatment, and the emergency X-ray showed "right joint dislocation: fracture of the right humerus large nodule", and was admitted to the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment. After the contraindications to surgery are ruled out, general anesthesia is performed for shoulder dislocation techniques and surgery + humerus fracture incision reduction and internal fixation, and the procedure is smooth.
Beginners are especially vulnerable
Skiing requires a certain amount of experience and skill, many beginners will not control the speed, can not stop on the slopes, so that hit others or directly fall, easy to lead to injury. Some are not adapted to long snowboards, and when they fall, they easily sprain their knees and ankles, resulting in fractures or ligament strains.
In addition, beginners can not adapt to the ups and downs of the slopes, easy to lose balance, resulting in sprains. When falling, you will often support the ground with your hands, and the wrist can easily be poked or broken in the tail vertebrae.
"If you feel like you're going to fall, throw away your pole quickly, wrap your hands around your chest, and use your hips to fall to your sides." Dr. Jiang Wu reminded that you must warm up before skiing, and you must pay attention to skills when falling. In the event of accidental fall and sprain during skiing, first determine whether there is a fracture or ligament that does not need to be sent to the hospital immediately (local deformity, rapid swelling, severe restriction of joint mobility, etc.), such as local braking + ice (gloves or socks can be equipped with some snow), which can alleviate the pain and swelling.
If a fracture occurs, a splint or ski should be used immediately to temporarily fix, call for help nearby, and seek professional assistance. Do not dispose of and move at will, especially spinal fractures, if you move randomly, it may cause the fracture block to be displaced and injure blood vessels, nerves, or lead to spinal cord injury and paralysis.
