Ligament strain is often caused by strenuous activities or activities with a lot of exercise. If it is more serious, ligament tearing will occur, which often causes severe pain to the patient, swelling, blood accumulation in the joints, and restricted movement of the joints. It often occurs in athletes. Once ligament strain occurs, it must be treated in time. What are the symptoms of ligament strain? Patients with this disease mainly experience severe pain in the knee joint, obvious swelling, blood accumulation in the joints, and flexion and extension disorders. Certain ligaments or joint capsules gradually relax and the meniscus ruptures, which may cause the joint to be stable in the early stage of injury but unstable in the late stage. How long does it take for a ruptured ligament to heal? 1. How long does it take for a ligament rupture to heal? If it is a mild ligament strain, without dislocation or fracture, and just a little redness and swelling, it will generally recover in 1-2 weeks. If the tear is severe, it will take at least 1 month to fully recover, and in severe cases it may take more than 3 months. When the ligament is completely ruptured, surgical treatment is required and the recovery time is more than 3 months. It is usually recommended not to do heavy physical work within half a year and to avoid jumping and other actions that may damage the ligament. 2. Causes of ligament rupture: Violent hyperextension or excessive abduction of the knee joint can cause anterior cruciate ligament injury of the knee joint. If external force is applied to the femur from front to back when the knee is bent, or external force hits the upper end of the tibia from back to front, both can cause rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament. Anterior dislocation of the knee is often caused by hyperextension, which will inevitably damage the anterior cruciate ligament. If it is caused by excessive abduction, the medial collateral ligament may be ruptured at the same time. Anterior cruciate ligament injury combined with medial meniscus injury is also common. When the knee is bent, external force hits the upper end of the tibia from front to back, causing the tibia to shift excessively backward, which may cause posterior cruciate ligament injury or even posterior dislocation of the knee joint. |
