In life, ligament injuries of ordinary people are common in ankle joint, knee joint, metacarpal joint and finger joint. Ligament rupture is generally due to the rapid action beyond the range of joint activity in intense activity, which leads to the passive traction of related ligaments, causing tearing or complete rupture. Ligament rupture is often accompanied by sprain and fracture. The ligament injury should be diagnosed, treated and reset in time. Brake and local cooling should be taken immediately after injury to delay and reduce swelling, bleeding and infection, and at the same time relieve pain, and then go to the hospital in time.
If the ligament is broken, it must be repaired surgically and the broken ends can be anastomosed. The ligament fulcrum is broken and must be rebuilt. After the sewing is completed, you can pull it to the fulcrum with rivets, or you can drill a hole in the fulcrum and fasten it with steel wires. If the ligament at the fulcrum is torn and there are bone fragments, the larger bone fragments can also be fixed with screws. We need to add this external fixation after operation. Tendon rupture is usually best fixed for 6 weeks, and some data say it is 4-6 weeks. After all, tendon rupture is a kind of injury. In the process of treatment, some drugs for traumatic injury can be combined, such as drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, detumescence and pain relief in traditional Chinese medicine, which is beneficial to the repair of tendon rupture.
Different ligament rupture sites will lead to different surgical methods and costs, and different internal fixation materials and instruments will lead to different costs. The cost of anesthesia surgery is about 6,543,800 yuan, plus the cost of medical repair or fixation materials, which is generally about 20,000-40,000 yuan.
Ligaments can strengthen the stability of joints, but many reasons can also lead to ligament rupture. When excessive exercise or trauma occurs, excessive stretching or rotation of joint range of motion will cause ligament rupture or tearing, which will lead to local symptoms such as pain, swelling, motor dysfunction, tenderness and joint instability. It is suggested to go to the hospital for MRI examination in time to determine the degree of ligament injury and carry out corresponding treatment.
In addition, ligament repair surgery may require fixation, and later functional exercise is needed to help recovery.
