Can a broken tendon be reattached?

We generally think that the tendons are actually tendons in medicine. The foot is a tissue that is more easily injured, and the tendons are the most easily injured parts of the foot. If your hamstring is broken, you should seek medical attention immediately. If you receive timely treatment, there is still hope of full recovery. However, in addition to timely treatment in the hospital, recovery after treatment is also very important. Next, I will tell you how to recover after a broken tendon.

1. Ligaments and tendons can be repaired with medication or surgery after they are broken. However, surgery is just a reconnection. Since ligaments are difficult to repair, most patients still feel limited joint bending and swelling after reconnection. (Just like a fracture, although it is fixed with steel needles and plates, it does not wait for the fracture to heal, so it needs to be repaired and healed.)

2. If you feel that bending is restricted, it is recommended that you choose Chinese medicine treatment. Chinese medicine treatment may vary depending on the location and the doctor. Here, it is recommended that patients choose external application medicine treatment, which has no side effects on the body. The ligament can be repaired by applying wild Chinese herbal medicine for 15 to 20 days. 3. After the ligament is repaired and healed, the bending of the joint can be restored to normal. Before the ligament is repaired, you must avoid eating beef and ginger. It is not recommended to force the joint to bend.

What to do if the tendon is broken

1. External application

(1) In the early stage after tendon rupture: the patient must apply ice to the affected area. This can effectively alleviate the pain of the disease.

Or spray directly with ethyl chloride for 8-12 seconds. It causes blood vessels to contract, relieves local congestion, lowers tissue temperature, inhibits nerve sensation, and has hemostatic, antipyretic, analgesic, anesthetic and anti-swelling effects. (Editor's note: Ice compress or ethyl chloride spray should be applied on the spot after the injury to be effective. If the above-mentioned refrigerants are not available on the spot, it is more appropriate to use pressure bandage immediately to prevent bleeding or exudation. Heat therapy or other treatment methods can be used after 24 to 48 hours.)

(ii) Middle and late stages: Soak a towel in hot water or place it on the injured area. You can also use a hot water bottle and place it on the injured area. Change it when the heat disappears, apply it for 30 minutes each time, 1-2 times a day. You can also use "Hot Compress Spirit" and "Cold Pain Music", which generally can reach a temperature of 50-60 degrees and can last for about 30 hours. To promote capillary dilation and opening, promote blood and lymphatic circulation and metabolism, relieve muscle spasms and promote trauma recovery.

(3) When the tendon is broken, the affected area can be fixed with adhesive plaster or wooden board. This can effectively enhance stability, prevent tendon movement, increase the pain of the disease, and facilitate the healing of injuries.

2. Manual Therapy

It is recorded in the "Golden Mirror of Medical Tradition: The Essentials of Bone Setting" that massage and ai na are the main methods for treating tendon injuries. The treatment methods for tendon injuries generally focus on pressing, massaging, pushing and holding, supplemented by kneading, pinching, rubbing and rolling. At the same time, according to different situations, you can also use techniques such as pulling and stretching, flexion and pressing, trembling and shaking, rotation and oblique moving (the specific techniques will be introduced by another author due to space limitations) to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain, relax muscles and tendons, loosen adhesions, and soften scars.
