Abstract
Ievads: Ahileja cīpsla ir spēcīgākā un biezākā cīpsla ķermenī. Tas piestiprina teļa muskuļus pie papēža kaula. Cīpsla pārnes spēku no kontraktējošiem teļa muskuļiem uz papēža kaulu, izraisot pēdas plantāra locīšanos, kas ir svarīgi staigājot, skrienot, lecot un mainot virzienus. Lai gan tā ir spēcīgākā cīpsla organismā, tā ir arī visbiežāk notiek plīsusi.
Mērķis: Šī raksta mērķis ir pētīt Ahileja cīpslas traumas, kā arī izpētīt un analizēt ārstēšanas un rehabilitācijas metodes.
Metodes un materiāli: Šajā rakstā izmantotie materiāli ir publicētas grāmatas, raksti un elektroniskas datu bāzes. Es tos analizēšu un apspriedīšu dažādas pieejas Ahileja cīpslas traumu ārstēšanā.
Rezultāti: Ir dažādu Ahileja cīpslu traumu ārstēšanas metožu pārskats un to noteikšana, kad operācija ir ieteicamāka nekā konservatīva pieeja.
Secinājumi: Ahileja cīpslas traumas ir vieni no biežākajiem sportistu ievanojumiem. Viņiem ir liela nozīme profesionālajā sportā, jo tiem ir liela izplatība un ietekme uz sportistu. Tāpēc ir īpaši svarīgi atrast pareizo pieeju ārstēšanai. Visbiežāk izvēle krīt uz ķirurģisko pieeju.
Overview: The Achilles tendon is the strongest and thickest tendon in the body. It attaches the calf muscles to the heel bone. The tendon transmits force from the contracting calf muscles to the calcaneus to cause the foot action of plantar flexion that is important in walking, running, jumping and change of direction activities. Even though it is the strongest tendon in the body, it is also the most commonly torn or ruptured tendon. Aim: The aim of this paper is to explore the Achilles tendon injuries and to investigate and analyse the treatment and rehabilitation methods. Methods and Materials: The materials used in this paper are published books, literature, articles and electronic databases. I will analyze them and review the different treatment approaches for Achilles tendon injuries. Results: The result is the review of the different types of treatments for Achilles tendon injuries and to distinguish, when a surgical repair is more recommended than a conservative approach. Conclusion: Achilles tendon injuries are one of the most often injuries in athletes. They are of high importance to professional sports due to their high incidence and impact on an athletes’s career. That is why it is especially important to find the correct treatment approach. Most often, the choice will fall upon the surgical approach.
