And there are Barak, captain of Germany, goalkeeper Adler even more before this, English idol Beckham,etc. is injured the news of retreating and having a match to spread successively in succession. Group's committee member of ankle surgery of foot of branch of Chinese Medical Association dept. of orthopedics, Peking University third hospital the intersection of sports medical science and Hu YueLin Professor, chief physician of research institute, " the bone moved China in hold a few days ago - -In sane life, in order to win step by step " The ankle joint was cared about interdynamic day the activity was interviewed by reporter, Hu YueLin says, ankle joint sprain morbidity take the first place sprain, in the intersection of whole body and every joint, people should strengthen security consciousness to protect well the ankle joint in usual life and sport.

" science is and healthy ": Which are the understanding mistaken ideas regarding the ankle joint has been damaged of people at present?

Hu YueLin: Activities such as the walking and jumping in our daily life,etc., mainly rely on the back of the ankle joint to stretch, the sole of the foot to crook sports. The amount of time 4 that the peak value that the normal ankle joint receives strength is about the weight, the ankle joint is very apt to take place in the position of the athletic injury.

Because it is not very serious that the occuring frequently of the ankle joint problem and most situations are injured, can even walk, has led to the fact too attention to the condition of general orthopedist and patient is not enough, some mistaken ideas of making a diagnosis have appeared.

First, " whether can move about by I, so have fracture " . This view is wrong. Some people often stand immediately, move the ankle after it is sprained that the ankle joint happens, without paining vigorously, continue walking. The very appropriate method, as take place when ankle joint sprain, even there is not fracture, also there is damage of the ligament around joints, even present the fracture of the ligament. In fact, even there is fracture sometimes, you can walk. The correct method is, after traumatism of ankle joint took place, let the foot ankle surgeon make a diagnosis and give treatment and deal with in time.

Second, " if there is ankle traumatism of foot, should give a hot compress to immediately " . This is wrong too. When there is spraining, fracture or dislocating, don't give a hot compress to. Because giving a hot compress to will cause the blood flow to accelerate, cause soft tissue swelling, make the nerve pressed, produce more violently keenlying feel. The correct method once has traumatism, should have a cold compress immediately, can wrap up the ice bag with the towel, apply the surface injuring, can play a very good role in preventing the excessive swelling of local organization and lightening pain. In addition, some methods are to go for massage with the palm among the people, or push away to wipe with ginger and wine, also all inadvisable.

Third, " the ankle joint sprained with the soft bandage parcel, it is an appropriate treatment " . This is wrong too, the soft bandage can't play strong pressurization and wrap up and control reduced and bled and fixed the ankle joint function. Should fix, should carry on the surgical treatment if necessary the gypsum or splint in time.

" science is and healthy ": What bad habits are apt to cause the ankle joint to damage?

Hu YueLin: The high-heeled shoes have already become indespensible equipment that a lot of young white collar women went to work at present, but wearing the too high shoes of heel for a long time will actually bring much injury to body. A too high design of high-heeled heel does not accord with body mechanies, in addition, the front part of the shoes is relatively narrow, after putting on the high-heeled shoes, the body will lean forward, the weight of whole body has been nearly all left on the sole, concentrated on toe and irregularity by strength, involve and bear the pressure to knee and waist. For instance careless, will cause foot ache, sprain even form thumb to be valgus, etc not merely, still often cause sole of the foot toe dysarthrosis, symptoms such as metatarsal bones fracture and having pains in the loins and back,etc., will influence the activity of walking even more when being serious.

The arch of foot should keep certain height and tension while walking. If walk for a long time, the time weighted of ankle joint is too long, it is apt to damage. In addition, take in the fatty, high protein, food with rich heat too much for a long time, will cause fat, will increase ankle joint, bear notably while being fat, accelerate the articular cartilage abrade, initiate bone arthritis. But also the meeting cause the urine impractical supersession function obstacle of organism to eat and drink extravagantly and lack sports, cause gout.

" science is and healthy ": How to protect the ankle joint well?

Hu YueLin: The ankle joint is sprained and often taken place in people's daily life, as " takes place high " of the athletic injury The position, it is particularly important that the science of the foot ankle attends to, protect the ankle joint well, should prevent trouble before it happens.

Should pay attention to the muscle strength and training for the harmony around the ankle joint at ordinary times, for example practise standing on the tiptoe and walking, skipping rope, or make and mention the movements of the foot heel to train repeatedly.
