jto sanoi:Kiipeilykaverilla muodostaa A2-pulleyn kohdalle vamman jälkeen arpea runsaasti. Onko noissa sormien vammoissa minkälaisia tehokkaiksi todettuja hoitomuotoja tiedossa fysikaalisella puolella ja muualla?
Pulley injuries take a long time to heal fully, and may be weak and tweaky for years afterwards. BUT, you don't need to lay off to make it heal, in fact keeping it exercised may speed up the strengthening process. The trick is to keep climbing on it, but don't do anything that makes it hurt. THere are no right and wrong answers here - only you know when it hurts and the key to successful rehab of finger injuries is to learn how to manage them. Some physios advocate massage to break down scar tissue, others advise leaving well alone - the jury seems to be out on that issue.
Hi, I treat injuries. Try massaging your forearm, the finger muscles go up to below the elbow. Prod about a bit by the bony lump til you find a bit that hurts (wiggle the injured finger and watch the movement up your arm to help find the area) and fret it. Little circular movements. Also long sweeping movements up the arm will help keep things moving.
I am just recovering from a pulley injury and the very second I felt it go, I stopped climbing for a full month. Now it is 6 weeks later and I have been gradually reintroducing it to climbing, being careful to keep it taped up and not crimp hard on it. The good news is that so far it has been completely painless, and I reckon within another few weeks it'll be completely back to normal.
The advice about keeping it moving is sound - don't tape it up unless you are going climbing or putting any serious stress through it (e.g. mountain biking).
Second Annular Pulley Rupture
Rupture of the A2 pulley is a relatively common injury and in one study (5) has been reported in up to 40% of professional climbers. Rupture occurs as a result of the excessive stress on the A2 pulley during a cling grip. The long and ring fingers are most commonly involved. Pulley rupture can occur acutely or develop insidiously.
A patient who has acute pulley rupture complains of acute pain in the volar proximal phalanx region. The area is tender to palpation, and visible and palpable bowstringing of the flexor tendons is usually noted during active resisted finger flexion (figure 6: not shown). The diagnosis may be difficult, and a limited magnetic resonance imaging scan or computed tomography scan may be necessary to help determine the integrity of the pulley and flexor tendons (6,8).
Minor A2 pulley injuries or partial tears with no evidence of bowstringing can be treated with either firm circumferential taping overlying the pulley or with a ring splint, worn full-time for 2 to 3 months to permit healing. Patients should also take time off from climbing.
The management of complete tears with tendon bowstringing is controversial. Surgical options include pulley repair or reconstruction (6,8,9). If there is any uncertainty regarding the diagnosis of A2 pulley rupture or the management of this type of injury, referral is recommended.
