Crushiery ligament?


think thats right spelling? its a knee ligament should it be rested or worked after injury Bloody hurts !!

There are two cruciate ligaments in the knee: the anterior (in the front) and the posterior (at the back).

The cruciate ligaments secure the stability in the knee in cooperation with other ligaments, the menisci and the muscles.

Things that can be done after an injury =

Rest
The injured knee must be rested for the first 24 to 48 hours to prevent any further injury.

Ice
The damaged area must be cooled by using an ice-pack or a packet of frozen peas. The ice must never have direct contact with the skin or the patient could get frostbite.
A cloth should be placed between the ice and the skin. Ice can be laid on the affected area for up to 20 minutes every hour, but for no longer than three hours in all.
Ice treatment has been known to be effective for up to 24 hours after an injury occurred.

Compression
An elasticated support bandage is designed for this purpose. The compression must be firm but not so tight that it affects the blood circulation.

Elevation
The leg must be elevated above heart level if possible. It is most comfortable to lie down and elevate the limb with a few pillows. If you are sitting down, the legs can be raised on a chair or a table.
This elevation should be maintained as much as possible for a few days.

The knee should be examined by a doctor though!!!!!!!
