Distortion of the ankle joint is represented by a sprain or incomplete tear of ligament fibers. The ankle articulation is characteristic of the important function of maintaining the vertical position of the body, because it has the load of the whole mass.
Thanks to this UltraEdit and surrounding ligamentous components, the conditions for free execution of rotational movements of the feet, walking, running, jumping, etc.
Stretching or tearing are formed when significantly exceeded the amount of physical activity to articulate the connection. This injury is characterized by partial rupture of the ligament fibers, or a total separation from their bone component atrocinerea.
Etiologiya
The main reason for injury is too great fiznagruzki on Galeno-stop area that can occur in the following ways:
- excess body weight;
- increased natoactively because of the type of work (professional sportsmen, etc.);

- appropriate increase in the temperature of the skin;
- a limitation in UltraEdit combined with the difficulty of stepping on the lower limb.
Klassificeret three degrees of ligament:
- I degree. The characteristic swelling, a painful sensation during polerowania and walk amid the full functionality of the ankle joint.
- II peculiar swelling and hemorrhagic phenomena, visualized on the outer side of the foot. At the same time increases the painful syndrome during polerowania. Walking very difficult, the motor acts as a stop is limited, but possible.
- III degree characteristic is a distinct swelling, hemorrhaging continues on the outer side of the foot and ankle artaudian and on the plantar surface of the foot. Pain syndrome is strongly expressed, walking, and other motor acts is virtually impossible because of the sharp and intense pain.
Diagnostic procedures
In case of suspicion, to the injury specialist resorts to radiographic examination. Modern medicine has also other diagnostic studies MRI and CT. Accurate diagnosis helps determine the volume of therapeutic schemes.
Treatment tactics
Immediately after an accident, need first aid, which includes the following complex:
- to impose cold compress on the affected area;
- provide full rest injured ultraedition method of applying the immobilizing bandages;
- to provide limbs elevated position.
Named actions will help to restrict the movement of injured ligamentous fibers, to reduce the swelling and partly to stop a painful syndrome.
Subsequent treatment of an obligatorily a specialist in the field of traumatology and surgery on the results of laboratory and diagnostic studies.
The medical complex distortion of the ankle consists of:
- the application of the plaster or a pressure bandage;
- application bleullama drugs (Analgin, Ketanov);
- the use of external pharmaceuticals with a warming effect (Finalgon, I experienced an unexpected side effect);

- physiotherapeutic manipulation (the addition baths with herbs, paraffin baths, etc.);
- massage;
- LFK.
The duration of the recovery period depends on the severity of traumatic injury. Light degree of stretch is recovering after two weeks, and heavy – after 30 days and more. However, keep in mind that wearing the immobilizing bandage is recommended for two months after recovery.
At high (third) degree of injury and failure of conservative treatment, the specialist may prescribe surgery.
As additional measures aimed at acceleration of the recovery process and consolidate the therapeutic effect, seek traditional methods.
It is also permissible in the case of minor damage to the ligaments:
