Those who became unsuccessfully on a slippery path will soon begin to enter the Minsk traumatic offices. For example, in the 6th GKB, there was no injury to the weeks of a voluntary one. How not to replenish sad statistics with your careless fall?
♻️ It is exposed to the head of the reception department of the city center of traumatology and orthopedics of the 6th city clinical hospital Viktor Aleksandrovich Stashevsky:
-There are outbreaks of ice injuries, when the temperature rides -then zero, then -1, then +2, -young ladies, for example, falling, want to do it beautifully. And you have to fall correctly. Notice: boxers and wrestlers first learn to fall.
If you feel that the fall is inevitable, you must try to fall on the most large area of the body. If you have something in your hands, it is better to discard. Many, before collapsing, instinctively try to substitute any protruding part of their body - arm, elbow, shoulder, legs. So, when falling, they break. When they are substituted, the entire potential kinetic energy is transferred to one point. Therefore, the bone does not withstand. Even when they do not fall, but slide, people can still damage the ligamentous apparatus of large joints of the joints of the limbs. In general, typical injuries with ice are a fracture of ankles of the ankle joint, the bones of the hand, the shoulder, the elbow process, also suffer, the ligaments of the ankle joint are damaged. In a word, what a person substituted in the fall breaks. In winter, 200 people per day can come to us. The peak falls on the New Year holidays. In many ways, alcohol is to blame here. There are those who, having fallen in the morning, come to us only in the evening - they, despite the pain, go to work and only then come to be treated. Well, having fallen, you need to get up. How? If a person damaged his hand, then he, in principle, can rise on all fours, but if the leg is damaged, it is better not to get up. Ask passers -by calling medical care or call yourself. Some call a taxi and go to us themselves. You don’t have to do this either. If it is difficult to move, it is better to consult passers -by. And even more so, do not pull the injured limb and do not get it. If it so happened that you are alone on the street, try using improvised means, for example, a stick to rise - it is not worth lying on the ground in the cold. It is better to go to ice in shoes with a corrugated sole, do not wear heels on shoes, it is also worth walking in small steps, trying to avoid slopes and hills.
We submit all the statistics of ice injuries daily to the Health Committee of the Minsk City Executive Committee. In it, we indicate where and when a person was injured. And they warn public utilities that in those places are necessary for road processing.
