Previous ligament injury

Previous ligament injury's disease overview

Age front ligament injury is the tear or sprain of the front diagonal ligament, one of the main ligaments in the knee. Previous ligament injury most often occurs in sports related to sudden stops or sudden changes when jumping and landing like basketball, football and skiing.

Many patients will hear or feel "sprinkled" at the knee when traumatic ligament injury first occurs. The knee will swell, feel loose knee and become very painful when the patient stands up.

Depending on the severity of the patient's front diagonal ligament injury, treatment may include resting and rehabilitation exercises to help patients regain strength and stability or stability or Surgery to replace the ligament is torn after rehabilitation.

Causes of Previous ligament injury's disease

Ligament (Ligament) is a bone fiber connective tissue connected to another. The anterior diagonal ligament is one of the two diagonal ligaments in the middle of the knee, connecting the femur with the tibia and helping to stabilize the knee joint.

Pre -diagonal ligament injury often occurs when the patient participates in sports activities that can cause knee injuries:

  • Suddenly running fast, stop suddenly or change.
  • jump down and land surprises, no preparation
  • being beaten or collided directly on the knee

    • In addition, in terms of cause, one can be divided into two main groups as follows:

  • Causes of direct injury: When a collision occurs directly in the knee area, it is common in sports such as football, volleyball ... or traffic accidents. P>
  • Causes of indirect injury: This is the most common type, encountered in cases of sudden stops or sudden changing when running.

    • When the anterior diagonal ligament is damaged, often tear or torn the entire tissue, but if a minor injury can extend the ligament but still intact.

    complications

    People who have an anterior ligament injury are at high risk for osteoarthritis. Arthritis can still occur even when the patient has a ligament reconstructive surgery. Many factors are likely to affect the risk of arthritis such as the severity of the initial injury, other injuries related to knee joints or the level of activity after treatment.

    Symptoms of Previous ligament injury's disease

    Symptoms of anti -knee ligament injury usually include:

  • A loud "sprinkle" or feeling "popping" at the knee
  • Patients with severe pain and cannot continue working
  • Fast swelling
  • Losing the range of movements of joints
    • loose pillows with symptoms such as patients who feel weak legs when moving, having difficulty or not standing one leg when standing up on the side of injury. >

    In cases of late detection, the patient's injury thigh may have gradually smaller than the good side due to muscle atrophy. Causes with an anterior ligament injury causing patients to exercise pain, leading to limited movement patients.

    Transmission route of Previous ligament injury's diseasePrevious ligament injury

    Anorical ligament injury is not transmitted from a sick person to a healthy person.

    People at risk for Previous ligament injury's disease

    There are several factors that increase the risk of anti -ligament injury such as:

  • Women. Perhaps due to anatomical difference, muscle strength and hormonal effects, women are at risk of general injury and anterior ligament injury higher than men.
  • Participate in some popular sports such as football, basketball, gymnastics and skiing
  • Poor condition
  • Wear shoes that do not fit, too tight or too wide.
  • Using poorly maintained sports devices, uncertain, unstable and easy to fail, leading to players who are susceptible to injury
  • Play on the surface of artificial turf

    • Prevention of Previous ligament injury's disease

    Proper exercise and exercise can help reduce the risk of anti -ligament injury. For more in -depth advice, it will be done by a sports medicine team including: Sports Medicine, Physical Materials, Sports Coach or other expert in sports medicine to supply The evaluation of the condition of the examination of the practitioner's risk factors, thereby creating a plan to minimize risks and guide training. Previous ligament injury content includes:

  • Metal muscle enhancement exercises.
  • Exercises to strengthen hips, pelvis and lower abdomen
  • Practicing techniques and paying attention to the position of the knee when dancing and landing
  • Practice technical improvement when performing rotation and direction movements
  • Shoes suitable for sports to help prevent injury.  

    • Diagnostic measures for Previous ligament injury's disease

    The first

    , the doctor will check whether the knee is swollen, painful or not and compares the knee injury to the knee without injury. Perform knee movement into different directions to assess the scope of campaign and overall function of joints.

    Normally physical examination may detect an anterior ligament injury, but still need tests to eliminate other causes and to determine the severity of the injury. These tests may include:

  • X-rays to eliminate fractures. However, X -rays do not show soft tissues such as ligaments and tendons.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), using radio waves and strong magnetic fields to create images of both hard tissue and soft tissue in the patient's body. MRI shows the level of anterior ligament injury and signs of other lesions in other tissues of the knee, including cartilage.
  • ultrasound. Using sound waves to describe internal structures, ultrasound can be used to check injuries in ligaments, tendons and knees.

    • Previous ligament injury's disease treatments

    Proper care, first aid and early performing can reduce pain and reduce swelling immediately after knee injury by:

  • Rest to limit the thread on the knee.
  • Applying ice bags at the knee at least two hours and each time is 20 minutes.
  • Wrap a bandage around the knee.

    • High knees by placing a knee or blanket under the injury.

    Rehabilitation

    The goal of rehabilitation is to relieve pain and swelling, completely restore the movement of the knee and enhance muscle strength. This physical therapy process can successfully treat an anterior diagonal ligament injury for those who do not regularly exercise or act in moderate sports or play sports at least causing injury to the head. pillow.

    Surgery

    The doctor may prescribe surgery if:

  • Patients are athletes and want to continue in their sports.  

    • In addition to ligament lesions, the cartilage in the knee is also injured

  • Injury makes the knee unable to move and affect daily activities.

    • In the process of regenerating the front ligament, the surgeon will remove the damaged ligament and replace it with a tissue similar to the muscle ligament to the bone. . The surgeon will use a piece of tendon from another part of the patient's knee or a tendon fiber from a died donor. After the surgery, the patient still has to participate in rehabilitation treatment. Reviewing the previous cross ligament in combination with rehabilitation can restore stability and function for the patient's knee.

    In Vinmec, the surgical surgery technique for knee ligament injury has been deployed in many Vinmec hospitals across the country with outstanding advantages. In addition, with sports injuries, Vinmec also applies platelet -rich plasma therapy to help these injuries recover quickly.
