With the continuous improvement of the quality of modern life, people’s participation in sports has been constantly strengthened, which gave birth to a special term-"weekend athletes", which not only reflects the popular sports activities of the people, but also reflects the non-professional athletes Some limitations of engaging in sports. Because this kind of people are engaged in sports activities intermittently-usually inactive, and really intense during real activities, it is easy to cause sports injuries during sports, of which the more common one is Achilles tendon injury.

Mr. Zhang, a 30-year-old patient, is an administrative staff of a company and usually does not like activities. On the weekend, the unit organized a badminton game. Xiao Zhang was particularly happy. He remembered that he was usually neglected to exercise. This time he had to exercise more heavily and exercise his lazy bones. Who knows, just less than half an hour after the fight, Xiao Zhang suddenly felt that his calf was knocked by something, and then the leg was soft and the pain was unbearable. When colleagues sent him to the hospital, the doctor said that he needed to be hospitalized for surgery. "Isn''t it just playing badminton that sprained your leg, and you still need to have surgery?"-Faced with Xiao Zhang''s doubts, the doctor explained: your Achilles tendon is broken...

　　In orthopedics clinic, you can often In some patients, when performing high-sports activities (such as badminton, tennis, basketball, etc.), a relatively small force suddenly pulls or falls causing the calf muscles to contract or the ankle dorsiflexion, resulting in Achilles tendon Injuries, even fractures, are generally more common in male patients between 30 and 50 years old.

　　 Acute Achilles tendon rupture usually has a popping sound or a popping sound behind the ankle joint, accompanied by acute pain. There are often local swelling, pain, and movement problems. In addition to the Achilles tendon, several other tendons also have some Achilles tendon functions. So although the Achilles tendon is broken, the ankle can still do a little toe down and raise the heel. In addition to the patient''s pain, the examination is affected, and it may be mistaken for an acute sprain. Patients with complete rupture of the Achilles tendon should be treated with surgery; direct medicine suture or repair of the ruptured Achilles tendon; postoperative supervision should start a bunch of functional training after 6 to 8 weeks of fixation of the knee and ankle plantar flexion with cast.

　　As a doctor, we don’t recommend everyone to become a “weekend athlete”. I hope to focus on daily physical exercise with a certain intensity. Do not “three days off, three times a day” to avoid accidents. Unnecessary sports injuries, the Achilles tendon is not only important for athletes, but also for the average person.
