Skateboarding is popular among young people because of its characteristics of showing individuality and challenging themselves. Ms. Li, who lives in Changsha's Yuelu District, is in her 40s this year, but she is passionate about sports and new things. As a veteran skateboarder, I often meet up with three or five friends to compete, but unexpectedly, this competition ended up in the hospital...
After dinner on October 23, 2023, Ms. Li and a group of skateboarders met downstairs in the community, when she was excited to complete a difficult move, she accidentally fell, and a sharp pain came from her left foot. He was immediately sent by a friend to the nearby Hunan Provincial People's Hospital Yuelu Mountain Branch for treatment.
Preoperative x-ray showed ankle fracture
Postoperative follow-up X-ray showed that the fracture was well reduced
Professor Sheng Bin, director of the Seventh Ward of the Department of Orthopedics of Yuelu Mountain Hospital, found that Ms. Li's left ankle was severely deformed, with an open wound of 2cm in size visible on the inside, accompanied by active bleeding, and X-ray showed "left ankle fracture". The team of the seventh ward of the Department of Orthopedics immediately opened the emergency green channel and performed emergency left ankle open fracture debridement and exploration, external fixator fixation, and VSD negative pressure suction surgery for Ms. Li overnight. The operation went smoothly and Ms. Li's pain in her left lower limb was significantly reduced after the operation.

After the infection was controlled, Director Sheng Bin's team performed open reduction and internal fixation of the second-stage left ankle fracture for Ms. Li on October 30. The surgery lasted less than 1 hour and was successfully completed. After the operation, after careful treatment and care by the team of the 7th Orthopaedic Ward, Ms. Li recovered well and was discharged from the hospital on November 7.
Director Sheng Bin inspected Ms. Li's postoperative condition
"Doctor, can I still skateboard after I get better?" In the face of Ms. Li's concerns, Director Sheng Bin said: After the fracture is completely healed, you can skateboard, but it is best to do it under the guidance of a professional, and pay attention to the following:
1. Wear appropriate protective gear
Both beginners and advanced practitioners should wear helmets, knee pads, wrist pads (elbow pads) and other skateboard protective gear correctly. Helmets, in particular, are key to preventing serious sports injuries, and choosing professional skateboard socks or wearing shin guards can reduce the damage to your legs.
2. Choose the right venue
Skateboarding should be done on a flat, sparsely populated field, beginners should avoid playing the sport on roofs, steps, steep slopes, and roads;
3. Get the technique right
Skateboarding is an extreme sport that requires a high level of skill, requiring practitioners to master not only basic techniques such as body balance and center of gravity control, but also some tumbling techniques such as gymnastics. Therefore, beginners should start with basic techniques, step by step, do not rush for quick success, and do not do more than they can do, especially do not do difficult movements in unfamiliar venues.
4. Focus
Be sure to concentrate when skateboarding and avoid fighting, playing, and being in the limelight.
5. Warm up and cool down
Good preparation activities are an effective way to pre-board sports injuries, be sure to do warm-up exercises before practicing skateboarding, stretch the joints, move the muscles, and after the exercises, relax the muscles, which will help restore physical strength and prevent muscle cramps.
6. Learn the emergency treatment of acute injuries
If there is a broken foot during the exercise, stop the activity as soon as possible to prevent the injury from aggravating. Within 48 hours of injury, apply cold or ice to the injured area, but not for too long to prevent frostbite on the joint, and after 48 hours, apply a warm compress or apply blood circulation and blood stasis medicine. At the same time, the injured area is elevated to help reduce swelling. Once severe pain is suspected of fracture or skin trauma with large and deep wound and heavy bleeding, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
