Bone wound posts that are widely circulated online
The Winter Olympics are coming to an end, and this winter's ice and snow sports fever has also brought a hot stem: at the end of the slope is orthopedics.
Since snowfall in various places, the number of people with ski fractures has increased significantly. During the Winter Olympics, bone injury posts posted by orthopedic doctors around the world rushed to the hot search from time to time. Due to the rising number of admissions, the Fourth Hospital of Wuhan (Wuhan Orthopaedic Hospital) has even opened a "Ice and Snow Sports Injury Clinic" since February 11.
How can the beautiful snow be so easy to hurt? In this regard, sports and medical experts said that when exercising, we must learn to protect reasonably and do what we can, otherwise the end of many exercises will be orthopedics.
Ice and snow sports are a comprehensive test for the body
Statistics have found that among the injured people in ice and snow sports, the proportion of injured patients aged 21-30 is the largest, and there are more men than women. This is related to the fact that young people have more participants and men prefer to pursue stimulation. In fact, the seemingly leisurely ice and snow sports are actually known for their speed and impact.
Wang Xianxun, director of the Department of Traumatic Joint Orthopedics of the Third People's Hospital of Hubei Province (Provincial Zhongshan Hospital), introduced that ice and snow sports are not only fast, but also due to the low ambient temperature, the consumption of the human body is greater, more likely to collide, and the risk of injury is higher.
Sliding on ice and snow is a comprehensive test for many physical elements such as strength, endurance, flexibility, balance and so on, especially for beginners, it is not so easy to master, so many injuries occur to beginners.
In addition, the ice and snow surface is very hard, and the risk of injury will be higher if the human body falls or collides at a certain speed. When people fall, they often subconsciously adjust their posture or support with their hands for self-protection, so the bone injuries of ice and snow sports are mostly joint sprains such as knee joints, ankle joints, upper limb joints, as well as bone dislocations and fractures.
When it snows, even in the city, many people will break their bones due to falls while walking. It can also be seen that the power of ice and snow is very large. "Once there is an injury, don't panic first, the first thing is to call for help immediately." Wang Xianxun pointed out that the parts where the injury and pain appear should not be moved, and when waiting for rescue, it is necessary to pay attention to the warmth of the distal end of the limb, and pay attention to the surrounding environment to avoid secondary injury.

Science sports, most injuries could have been avoided
How to prevent winter sports injuries? Wang Xianxun said that first of all, the public should choose professional protective gear and sports venues, especially if a certain part has been injured, they should wear targeted protective gear. It is important to warm up adequately before doing exercise, especially snow and ice sports, which can improve the elasticity of muscles and ligaments, improve body control and stability of the trunk, and reduce the risk of sports injury. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the core strength exercise, "the core generally refers to the muscle groups including the waist, hips, abdomen and lower back, and its main function is to control the position and movement of the trunk, which is the central link of the human power chain." “
"Many injured people are still unconscious, in fact, as long as they exercise with a scientific attitude, a considerable number of injuries can be avoided." Outdoor expert Andy told Jimu News that many people regard ice and snow sports as simple play, ignoring the gap between the speed, impact and ability of this sport, "such as warm-up, often people jump a few times and want to go to the snow immediately, which increases the risk of injury to themselves." ”
He also said that beginners should wear special protective equipment for beginners, be patient when learning, practice more to find the feeling, "especially don't feel that you can do it in three or five clicks, and then directly go to the difficulty." He introduced that the ski slope is divided into different areas according to different levels of skiers, "just like the swimming pool will also be divided into shallow water areas and deep water areas, different areas on the snow field correspond to different skiing capabilities." Many beginners are eager to upgrade and challenge themselves, but they do not know that just a little steeper slope will make the speed of sliding much faster, and the control ability and experience of skiers will be much higher. ”
Andy suggests that ice and snow sports must be done according to their ability, and do not rush to achieve results. "There is also a very important thing, that is, the clothing, equipment and protective products of ice and snow sports must choose the products of regular manufacturers." Some people buy expensive skis, but helmets are casually dealt with, and this idea is not good. You know, protective equipment can save lives at critical moments. ”
Mr. Li, the leader of outdoor sports, also said that attaching importance to protection and doing what is right is the precursor to safe sports, "The more senior players, the more they tend to pay more attention to the completeness of protection, and they will not venture forward for no reason when exercising, and casually take risks in order to challenge anything." He also said that if you do not learn reasonable protection, many sports will make people into the orthopedic department. Skateboarding, cycling... Failure to protect against a fracture can result in a fracture.
Tips
General sprains or strains, within 24-48 hours of the onset of the injury, are operated in accordance with the PRINCIPLES:
Step 1: Protection. Protects the injured area from secondary injuries. Evacuate the patient out of the track as soon as possible, do not let the affected area appear similar to the action of their injury, and carry out the early necessary treatment of the wound, and protect and fix the neck, waist and joint injuries as soon as possible.
Step 2: Optimal Loading. After muscle and ligament injury, local brake rest is key. Gradual and appropriate movement during protective braking is conducive to the recovery of limb function, and at the same time can effectively reduce pain and bleeding.
The third step is Ice. Ice on early injuries can reduce bleeding and relieve pain. Each ice compress is controlled at 15-20 minutes, with an interval of 1-2 hours to avoid frostbite caused by long ice compresses.
The fourth step is compression. Generally implemented within 24-48 hours after injury, often use a pressurized bandage to bandage the wound, and the pressure should be bandaged from the far end to the proximal end layer by layer, which can limit further swelling of the affected area, remember not to be too tight, and the pressure can be synchronized with the ice compress.
The fifth step is elevation. Within 72 hours after injury, try to place the injured area above the level of the heart, which is conducive to using gravity to help the blood and tissue fluid flow back, reduce the swelling of the injured area, and relieve pain.
