What about achilles tendon rupture?

In fact, Achilles tendon rupture is a common clinical disease, and timely diagnosis and treatment can quickly restore its function. Once missed diagnosis, it will also bring great inconvenience to patients' lives.

Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the human body, which is located under the posterior side of the calf and is the structure connecting the triceps surae and calcaneus. When the calf triceps contract, pulling the achilles tendon and lifting the heel is the key structure of jumping, which plays a very important role in lower limb movement. Once the achilles tendon breaks, it will bring great inconvenience to people's exercise.

Achilles tendon rupture often occurs in the process of various sports, or at the moment of rapid start, you can often hear a crunchy sound, and the lower back of your calf seems to have been kicked and you can't walk. At this time, if you touch your heel with your hand, you can often touch a depression, and the action of standing on one leg is limited. If this happens, go to a specialized hospital for examination immediately. Early diagnosis is helpful for early surgical treatment and early recovery of lower limb function.

After the achilles tendon is broken, stop moving immediately and forbid walking, which can often avoid the complete rupture of the achilles tendon caused by continuous walking. You can also take local materials, lift your feet, fix the affected feet in flexion position, or use ice packs to compress the affected areas, shrink local capillaries, and relieve local edema and pain. If the achilles tendon rupture is diagnosed in a specialized hospital, it is necessary to operate as soon as possible and basically recover its function two months after operation. At the same time, attention should be paid to functional exercise as soon as possible to restore its function. feng xiaoting
