The doctor gave advice on injury protection in the spring
Gennady Gordeev, head of the traumatology department of the hospital No. 2 of the Pushkin Clinical Hospital named after Professor V.N. Rozanov, told how to protect yourself from injuries in the spring.
In an interview with Radio 1 on March 30, the expert noted that scooters, electric scooters, bicycles and roller skates remain at high risk for children. According to him, strict adult supervision and compliance with the rules of operation remain the main protection. He stressed that even with careful attention, it is impossible to completely eliminate accidents, so monitoring must be constant.
The traumatologist also explained that in case of injury, it is important to act quickly: if possible, do not strain the injured limb and contact a medical institution as soon as possible, where they will conduct an examination, diagnosis and provide the necessary assistance.
According to Gordeev, after the examination, the nature of the injury is determined — a fracture, injury to soft tissues or ligaments — and rehabilitation with limited loads is prescribed. In the future, the functions are gradually restored if the injury was not serious.
The doctor added that both the family and the school should teach children how to use transport safely and follow traffic rules. He also recommended that you take your time and be sure to use protection — a helmet, knee pads and elbow pads, reminding you that you need to take care of your health, since a person does not have "spare parts".
On March 27, pediatrician Evgenia Malygina spoke about the health risks of young athletes. According to her, increased stress increases the risk of injury — ligament and joint damage, bone fractures, including in the area of growth zones (epiphyses), which in the future may affect the growth and development of the child.
