Many friends love sports, but there may be some minor accidents during the process, such as knee injuries. For friends with knee injuries, corresponding measures should be taken according to the severity of the knee injury to avoid worsening the condition due to improper handling of the knee injury. So, how to deal with knee injuries?
1. Apply ice to the affected area
If the knee is only slightly impacted, twisted, slightly swollen, and does not damage any bones, you can wrap it with a piece of ice and cloth, then gently press the wound and apply ice to the affected area to quickly reduce swelling and relieve pain.
2. Alcohol disinfection
If a lot of skin is scraped and bleeding occurs during the collision, the first thing to do is to quickly disinfect the wound to avoid bacterial infection. First, wash the wound clean with water, and then gently wipe the wound with a cotton swab coated with alcohol for disinfection. Alcohol has a stimulating effect, so this process may be a bit painful. Just endure it and take it to the medical room for further treatment after disinfection. If it is particularly painful, you can also use some painkillers to relieve the pain appropriately.
3. Fix the knee
Many athletes fall to the ground with small bones after injuring their knees and cannot get up. This is mostly due to the injury of bones, as there are many small bones on the knee that cannot be immediately connected. Therefore, the best way is to use local materials to see if there are any wooden boards or ropes to fix the feet. Alternatively, professional fixing straps can be used to fix the feet, and then they can be sent to the hospital for CT scans in a timely manner. The hospital will provide treatment based on the results.
The above is an introduction to how to deal with knee injuries caused by collisions. For friends who have injured their knees, they can solve the problem by applying ice, disinfecting with alcohol, and fixing their knees. After treatment, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. If the injury is severe, treatment should be based on the diagnosis.
