How do you treat the torn tendon in the wrist?

Answer 1

The R.I.C.E method. No, not rice! Rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Don't use your sprain unless you have to. Put some ice on it, it'll feel better n no time. Compress the sprain by wrapping it in an elastic bandage. This will help support it, so it doesn't move and put more strain on the sprain. Elevate it on a cushion or pillow, as to keep the sprain above the patient's heart if at all possible. And by the way, a torn ligament and a sprain are the same thing! So, hopefully this will help with your torn ligament (sprain). while i agree with most of the above answer, the statement about a sprain and a torn ligament being the same are not. it depends on the severity of the sprain. a grade 1 sprain may have overstretched the ligament where a grade 2 has actually torn the ligament so that part is inaccurate. just thought i would add that extra information since i recently suffered a grade 3 strain (torn ligament) that required surgery!

Answer 2

How?

Twisting, or landing on a knee or ankle that is over-extended.

A heavy landing or awkward turn when the ligaments around a particular joint are at full-stretch can cause it to tear away from the bone.

Or even tear apart.

The four different grades of injury are:

• Partial ligament tear
• Complete ligament tear
• Partial bone tear
• Complete bone tear

What kind of pain?

Sudden onset of pain and severe swelling.

Treatment?

Go to your local a&e to be checked by a doctor, because you might need crutches.

Return?

Between 4 and 12 weeks.

Answer 3

A broken or torn ligament will often require surgery. Some people claim that supplements such as glucosamine sulfate can help regenerate a damaged ligament, but it appears that the general consensus from health care professionals is that surgery is more often necessary.

Answer 4

Treatment for a torn tendon in the wrist may include rest, immobilization with a brace or splint, ice, and physical therapy to regain strength and range of motion.

Answer 5

You can bandage it tightly until it heals, or, you may have to have surgery to correct it.

Answer 6

Since ligaments attach bone to muscle, it is possible that a streched or torn ligament IS LIKELY, but is not limited to a joint.

Answer 7

Depending on severity, if its minor they usually cast it and give it time to heal. If it is severe and can't heal itself they do surgery.

Answer 8

Ice it.

Answer 9

Cast
