Pull-ups, as a common exercise, can exercise your latissimus dorsi and biceps, the long head of abdomen and triceps, deltoid and even chest muscles. At the same time, pull-ups need strong core strength and coordination, so pull-ups are also known as the king of upper limb training and are loved by the masses. But recently, a boy of 18 years old did pull-ups on the physical education class, his elbow was broken and his joint was dislocated. What happened?

It turned out that when he was doing pull-ups, his hand slipped and he fell off the bar. After landing, he made a very incorrect choice, that is, straighten his hands and support the ground with his palms. Because he was tall and heavy, he caused the fracture and dislocation of two elbow joints at once, and it is conceivable how much impact the joints suffered at that time.

Dislocation of elbow joint is a common injury of elbow joint. Because of the complex types of dislocation of elbow joint, it is often accompanied by serious injuries to other bone structures or soft tissues of elbow joint, such as fracture of medial epicondyle of humerus, fracture of olecranon of ulna, fracture of coronoid process, and injuries to joint capsule, ligament or vascular nerve bundle, which are more common in teenagers.

In this case, conservative treatment can help boys reset and repair joints. Especially the dislocation or dislocation of elbow joint combined with fracture, manual reduction is mainly used. First, the patient's joint is reset and then fixed with plaster.

As the saying goes, "it takes 100 days to hurt the muscles and bones." In this patient's case, it will take several months to fully recover. Because it takes some time for our bones to grow and heal. Moreover, both hands are in plaster, so it is very inconvenient for patients to study and eat, let alone take a shower and go to the toilet, and they may face difficulties in life for several months.

Except for young people, for some middle-aged and elderly people, gentle palm support often leads to fractures (medically called Colles fractures). Especially in winter, it is easy to slip because of snow or ice on the ground.

The point is: when we fall from a height, we must not support the ground with our palms. It may be better to support directly with the elbow or with the whole forearm. But the best way is to just fall and roll on the spot. Rolling can convert gravity into potential energy, which is equivalent to dissolving gravity, so that the damage to joints and limbs can be minimized.

Finally, in addition to wishing the boy a speedy recovery, I also hope that everyone can learn more self-protection methods and share them with family and friends, so that they can cope with danger calmly, avoid blindness in sports and better avoid injuries caused by sports.
