Dr. Zhuo Shikai (pictured) pointed out that when the patient went down the mountain, the meniscus of his knee cracked, causing sports injuries. (Photo courtesy of Zhuo Shikai, an orthopedic surgeon at Guangtian Medical Guangtian Hospital, said that this/kloc-0 middle-aged man surnamed Li, weighing about 95 kilograms, is obese. Because of his large appetite during the New Year, he ate more meals than usual. As a result, when they stood on the weighing scale, they found that their weight had broken 100 kg, which shocked him. Mr. Li made up his mind to climb the mountain to lose weight and went hiking with his family on the sixth day.
Climbing mountains with heavy loads can lead to sports injuries.
On the way up the hill, although Mr. Li was panting, it was okay to walk slowly. Unexpectedly, when he stepped on the downhill stairs, he suddenly heard a strange sound of "pa" coming from his knee, and immediately felt a sharp pain in his knee, so he could only reluctantly go down the mountain with the help of his relatives and friends. After going down the mountain, Li Nan went to a nearby clinic for medical treatment. At present, only knee inflammation has been diagnosed and anti-inflammatory painkillers have been prescribed. However, after a few days, the symptoms did not improve, and I went to the Department of Orthopaedics of Guangtian Hospital for a detailed examination.
After examination by the medical team, it was found that Mr. Li was overweight and lacked muscle strength exercise. Improper knee movements and postures lead to meniscus compression and rupture. If it is not treated properly, the walking function will be greatly affected, and even the knee joint will deteriorate rapidly. Dr. Zhuo Shikai immediately performed arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery for Mr. Li to repair the damaged meniscus. After the operation, the problem of knee swelling and pain was relieved and he was discharged smoothly.
