Hundred Days after knee surgery--Protect your knees

Hundred Days after knee surgery--Protect your knees

I. The process of injury

2002, that was still at my big two o'clock, because the long jump test Site bunker compaction (not loosened), causing my knee injury; half a month later, one leg of the rebound made the same position two injuries.

I don't know which one caused the rupture of my anterior cruciate ligament, but my attending expert in the hospital of Northern Medicine confirmed that my anterior cruciate ligament rupture was an old injury. At the same time, the meniscus was severely damaged.

As I did not know about training and sports medicine, I only took X-rays and showed everything was OK. Did not go to the nuclear magnetic further examination, but the use of traditional Chinese medicine conservative treatment. Chinese medicine said their plaster can be bone and cure my knee injury. After two months of hot plaster, my leg and knee pain faded away.

Gradually I was again in a muddle to resume training. During the period, I learned Sanda, Brazilian contortion, Muay Thai, fitness training can be barbell squat 180 kg to do the group, 6 times per group, hard pull is the number of times, I learned 6 versions of the Israeli self-defense, has studied for 6 years. It was not until the end of September 2013 that a small accident slipped and made my knee hurt again.

Because I have studied a great deal of sports medicine and training in the past more than 10 years, I have done a thorough examination this time. The check results are:

(1) Anterior cruciate ligament rupture (12 years ago broken, old injury)

(2) lateral meniscus posterior horn 4 level injury (old injury plus new injury)

(3) Medial meniscus barrel-shaped tear (old injury plus new injury)

(4) Tibial plateau cartilage injury

(5) Joint effusion.

This time must be surgery, the operation has been 12 years late.

North Hospital of the expert explanation is: I because of the usual training, leg muscles (especially the hamstring) particularly developed, developed muscles compensate for the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament function, when the joint reached a certain injury after the balance, the station run jump instead of showing the patient, but the knee has been in the semi-dislocated state.

The immediate cause of the two injuries in the 12 years is the training of multiple versions of Israeli defensive and military combat skills in the United States, with an average of more than 10 hours of training per day, resulting in leg muscle fatigue; After returning home, he did not rest and give lectures to others; Because the leg muscles are fatigued, their ability to compensate for the anterior cruciate ligament declines The half-offline state of the knee appears, resulting in a slight accident that caused a major injury.

In many cases, it is difficult to judge a part of the muscle fatigue, such as leg muscle fatigue, in normal standing and running. Therefore, serious knee injury (such as ligament rupture), may not appear normally, but equal to the body has been carrying a time bomb, once the leg muscle fatigue, compensatory function disappeared or weakened, knee joint of the semi-dislocated state, two injury or serious damage to meniscus, tibial plateau cartilage and other ligaments are unavoidable. Even without muscle fatigue, the knee joint can be accelerated by the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and other joint tissues. It is possible that the aging rate is 5 to 10 times times the normal aging rate.

The masking effect of Chinese herbal plaster is waiting for the appearance of joint tissue self-healing and muscle compensatory function, and then as if everything is healed, in fact, the rupture ligament is never able to connect itself.

Therefore, if you have a knee injury, you must carefully check. Because even serious knee injuries have certain non-obvious, when your muscles appear to compensate, you go around with a time bomb.

Ward in a woman more than 50 years old is also a former cruciate ligament fracture old injury, that is more than 30 years ago she played basketball injury in high school, this attack is only she wants to move her leg from the sofa side to the other side, for a better watching TV posture, the results of the knee directly dislocation. --because of the aging of the muscles, muscle atrophy must occur, at this time the muscle compensatory effect or significantly weakened or even disappeared. So you have a knee injury, it must be carefully examined, if dragged to middle age or later in life, all the opportunities for remedial surgery are not, only replacement of artificial joints.

Second, the treatment process

(1) The hamstring tendon was removed and a new anterior cruciate ligament was reconstructed with hamstring tendon. The reconstructed ligaments were fixed to the hard bone with two titanium nails.

(2) medial meniscus and lateral meniscus repair.

(3) Repair of tibial plateau cartilage.

(4) The internal environment of the knee is cleaned.

My wounds were in the North Hospital. All wards should be one of the most serious injuries. After the surgery, I

Strong to calm, in fact, very painful.

Iii. Rehabilitation after surgery

My attending expert told me that three-point surgery, seven-point recovery. So more important post-operative rehabilitation training. I found that even in the Northern Hospital, the purpose of rehabilitation is to restore normal knee flexion and walking.

After surgery, the knee joint is not firm, muscle imbalance, limb leg muscle atrophy, joint body feeling degeneration, can not complete the running and jumping and other complex movements and other problems ... I myself in the North Medical three Hospital simple rehabilitation plan (only a page) on the basis of a large number of American sports medicine and knee surgery after the latest rehabilitation methods, combined with my usual training and teaching experience, the knee has a comprehensive rehabilitation training.

Knowledge is always the strongest force, I am in accordance with the relevant knowledge, fully recovered at home. Full flexion of the knee was completed in 5 weeks. The 100th day to the gym for the first time, only to test the effect of rehabilitation. (please do not imitate)

I am aware that in the training did not use the ultimate weight, all training in 1 hours to complete (the video only recorded part), no knee discomfort after training.

The video is recorded as follows:

In the future, we will have the opportunity to share more content of knee joint rehabilitation and knee health training.

U.S. authorities investigate : 25% of the year suffered from knee pain. Knee Osteoarthritis (osteoarthritis) is a common cause of knee pain in people aged 50 or older. In recent years, the number of knee replacement surgery (knee replacements) in women aged 65 and above has increased. In Britain, the incidence of knee arthroplasty has increased by three times times, and the United States has increased by more than eight times times.

The incidence of acute and chronic knee joint is very high, even if you are safe today, because of training, walking, all kinds of improper movement, middle-aged and old people also have a great chance to develop knee chronic disease, so we remember to protect their knees.
