Less than a month after Chow Yun-fat ran and fell, he ran a marathon again Doctor: This action is dangerous
The well-known artist Chow Yun-fat likes to run, and it is completely impossible to tell that he is nearly 70 years old.
Recently, some netizens once again saw him running a marathon on the street, full of energy in black clothes. But this time, netizens worried about his body instead.
The reason is that at the end of July this year, Chow Yun-fat revealed that he had an accident while running. The palms of both hands were cut and bled by stones. He also fell sideways on the ground, resulting in a fracture in the fourth rib on the left. Therefore, no matter laughing or coughing or even breathing hard, I will feel very painful, and the doctor has told me to stop running for 2 months. This news was once on the hot search.
And less than a month since the last injury, Fa Ge “reappeared in the running arena”, which made many fans worried.
In this regard, Dr. Tian Fei, Department of Orthopedics, Hangzhou First People’s Hospital, said that doing so is indeed risky.
Tian Fei introduced that a rib fracture is actually a simple closed rib fracture, resulting in cracks in the bone. Since there is no displacement, conservative treatment is generally the mainstay and no surgery is required. This kind of situation is often caused by chest trauma or fatigue. If the patient is in good physical condition and recovers well, it will take about two months to recover. For some elderly patients who are frail, the recovery period may take three months.
“Although a rib fracture is not a particularly serious fracture, you can’t run until you fully recover.” Tian Fei said that he has encountered similar patients in his outpatient clinic. After a rib fracture, he did not fully recover. Cycling, resulting in displacement of the fracture site, doubled the injury and required longer recovery time after reduction.
After the age of 40, a person’s bone mass will decrease by about 0.5% year by year, and the decline rate of bone density in women is faster than that in men. Especially after women’s menopause, the bones will appear “cliff-like” aging. With bone loss, there is an increased incidence of fractures. Tian Fei reminded that since bone loss is irreversible, it should be detected and treated as soon as possible. It is best to have a bone density test after the age of 40 to rule out early osteoporosis.
