Abstract

Medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury is highly common in athletes and the elderly. This ligament is in the knee region and is often at the risk of injury. Severe pain and motor limitation are the most important signs in the acute phase of the injury. In patients receiving anticoagulants, damage to the knee joint may lead to intra-articular bleeding, which exacerbates the symptoms and prolongs the recovery period. The present study aimed to describe the case of a 76-year-old woman with a sudden spin on the left knee while getting off a car. After a few minutes of walking, the patients felt pain, heard a pop-like sound on the injured knee, and was unable to walk, experiencing pain in the knee. The patient was transferred to the emergency department by the caregivers. The present case report was focused on the MCL injury in a patient receiving an anticoagulant due to atrial fibrillation.
接受利伐沙班治疗的患者膝内侧副韧带损伤:急性血关节形成的原因
内侧副韧带损伤在运动员和老年人中非常常见。这个韧带位于膝盖区域,经常有受伤的风险。剧烈疼痛和运动受限是损伤急性期最重要的体征。在接受抗凝剂治疗的患者中,膝关节损伤可能导致关节内出血,从而加剧症状并延长恢复期。本研究旨在描述一名76岁女性在下车时左膝突然旋转的案例。步行几分钟后,患者感到疼痛,听到受伤膝盖上有爆裂声,无法行走,膝盖疼痛。护理人员将病人转移到急诊室。本病例报告的重点是一名因心房颤动接受抗凝剂治疗的患者的MCL损伤。
