Recently, the Fifth Hospital of Harbin admitted 20 patients with fractures and ligament injuries caused by ski falls. The orthopedic surgeon of Harbin Fifth Hospital reminds that while having fun in the snow season, don't ignore sports injuries.
A few days ago, 52-year-old Ms. Wang came to the long-awaited ski resort for the first time to experience the ski culture. Ms. Wang thought that leg pain was normal and could be recovered after a few days of rest, but after two days of recuperation, she found that her knee joint was swollen and the pain had not been reduced, so she went to Harbin Fifth Hospital for treatment accompanied by her family. After a detailed examination, Liu Kunyu, a sports injury doctor, diagnosed Ms. Wang with a meniscus injury in her left knee with a medial collateral ligament injury.
Liu Kunyu, a sports injury doctor, said that it is the snow season, and skiers need to be cautious when exercising. In case of accidental falling, to avoid colliding with other skiers, move to a safe area on both sides of the slope as soon as possible. When the pain of the lower limb injury is strong, do not get up blindly, you should first feel your own pain and assess whether the limb can move, you can use ski poles, wooden sticks, branches and other solid objects to fix the limb and go to the nearest hospital for medical treatment.
Exercise should be done according to your ability and gradually. Before skiing, you should pay attention to keeping warm, warm up fully, wear protective equipment correctly during the process, and beginners need to ask professionals to accompany and guide. People who suffer from osteoporosis, bone and joint diseases, are older, have poor cardiopulmonary function, and lack of physical strength should avoid skiing.
