"Wang! Barking! Mao Tuan was very anxious to see his master fall, and he circled around her and shouted.
On her birthday last year, her mother gave Xiao Tian a cute dog, and since then she has gone out with Mao Tuan every morning and evening to walk around, and when the weather is good, Mao Tuan will accompany Xiao Tian for morning runs.
After Xiao Tian fell, she felt that her right leg was very painful, and she could not move, she suspected that she might be fractured, and did not dare to get up easily and walk home. After hearing that Xiao Tianchen fell down, her mother quickly came to take her to the hospital to see, and through diagnosis, the doctor said that Xiao Tian's injury was a closed soft tissue contusion.
What is a closed soft tissue contusion?
First, closed soft tissue contusion is a type of soft tissue contusion.
Soft tissue contusion is relatively common, referring to a traumatic syndrome that causes some damage to local tissues or muscles due to factors such as impact, pulling, compression and other factors on the surface of our body[1], and is divided into two categories: open and closed according to whether it has obvious wound wounds.
The main symptoms of closed soft tissue contusion are mainly pain and swelling at the injured site, and will be accompanied by local skin bruising, subcutaneous bruising, obvious tenderness and other manifestations, and in severe cases, it will also cause problems such as limb dysfunction.
How are closed soft tissue contusions treated?
How to deal with it in a timely manner? After the injury, the method of placing ice packs around the affected area is used to apply ice, it should be noted that this method is not suitable for people who are more sensitive to cold stimuli, which may lead to dangerous results such as arterial spasm.
In addition, the main treatment methods for closed soft tissue contusions are surgery and drug therapy.
- Surgical treatment
Patients with muscle dysfunction and weakened arterial beats due to severe crushing injuries should make multiple longitudinal incisions of the skin, deep fascia, and muscular membranes early to achieve diastolic purposes if the edema of the affected area is severe enough to affect blood circulation in the limbs, or if the patient has muscle dysfunction and decreased arterial beats due to severe crushing injuries.
- drug therapy
Pharmacotherapy is a common clinical treatment for closed soft tissue contusions. Mainly used in anti-infection, improve local blood circulation drugs for treatment, such as celecoxib capsules, etoperisone, heparin and other drugs, note: topical medications need to be evenly applied to the affected area in a sterile state.
Among them, heparin drugs also have anticoagulation, inhibition of inflammatory responses, and effects on collagen synthesis and degradation, including unfractionated heparin and low molecular weight heparin.
Compared with unfractionated heparin drugs, low molecular weight heparin has a lower risk of bleeding while ensuring antithrombotic effects, such as low molecular weight heparin sodium gels. In addition, it has a longer half-life and higher skin transmittance, which can treat closed soft tissue contusions, scars and other diseases.

Daily exercises also need to pay attention not to exceed their own load, so that the joints and muscles have abnormal range of activities, resulting in damage to the medial and lateral collateral ligaments of the joints or the surrounding muscle tissue.
