Tendon sprain

Introduction Tendon is a type of soft tissue. Soft tissue refers to the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, synovial sacs, nerves, blood vessels, etc. of the human body. Sprain refers to soft tissue damage of joints or bodies of the extremities, such as sprains of muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, etc., without syndromes of fractures, dislocations, and broken flesh. Mostly caused by strenuous exercise or improper weight, or accidentally falling servants, trauma, traction and excessive torsion, etc., causing tendon, tear, swelling of blood stasis, resulting in stagnation of blood and blood.

Cause

Mostly caused by strenuous exercise or improper weight, or accidentally falling servants, trauma, traction and excessive torsion, etc., causing tendon, tear, swelling of blood stasis, resulting in stagnation of blood and blood.

More common in elderly patients, as well as sports-loving teenagers, young adults, etc., in case of accidental fall, in order to prevent the affected limb from directly rushing out of the ground, and suddenly reflexively strong contraction of the muscle caused a sprain or strain. In the case of a jumping action, a sprain may occur due to uncoordinated movements or strong contraction of the limb muscles.

1, the main performance is the swelling and pain of the injured part, joint activity is limited, mostly in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, waist, hip, ankle and other parts.

2, the sprained part of the pain, the hand can touch the muscle block formed by the muscle tension, obvious pain, local swelling or subcutaneous bleeding, activity is significantly limited.

3, X-ray examination, MRI examination: visible soft tissue swelling phenomenon, MRI can see the extent of tendon sprain, specific parts and so on.

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis of tendon sprain:

1, tendon strain: muscle strain refers to the general muscle or tendon activity transition damage. These injuries usually occur when your body is fatigued and exceeds the intensity it bears. The two most vulnerable to strain are: the back of the thigh (rope), the inner thigh (adductor). The main symptom of a rope strain is that when you straighten your leg, there is sharp pain in the legs and back. The main symptom of an adductor muscle strain is that when you want to lift the leg to the outside, there will be sharp pain inside the thigh. After the muscle strain, it should be cold in the first two days. After two days, it can be massaged and hot, and slowly start to resume exercise and stretch. Always warm up before exercising and stretching.

2, tendon adhesion: tendon adhesion after tendon rupture anastomosis is common, especially the hand on the back of the hand is particularly prone to occur. In this case, it is advisable to observe and calcine first. Experience has shown that after a period of calcination, most of the adherent patients will recover.

3, tendon cysts: cysts generally develop slowly, in addition to local lumps, there are few symptoms, occasionally local soreness.

4, tendonitis: tendon end is the ligament, tendon, joint capsule attached to the end of the bone. Tendonitis is one of the common symptoms of reactive arthritis. It is manifested as pain and tenderness of the tendon at the point of attachment of the bone. It is most susceptible to Achilles tendon, plantar tendon, tendon attachment point and paravertebral column. In severe cases, activity may be limited or muscle atrophy may occur due to local pain.

5, tendon rupture: tendon: each piece of skeletal muscle is divided into muscle abdomen and tendon two parts, muscle belly consists of muscle fibers, color red soft, contraction ability, tendon consists of dense connective tissue, white color is hard, no contraction ability. The tendon attaches skeletal muscle to the bone. The tendons of the long muscles are mostly rounded, and the tendons of the latissimus are broad and thin, and are membranous, also called the aponeurosis. Tendon rupture: Dense connective tissue rupture.
