Broken ears are a characteristic feature of many wrestlers. In Russia they are compared with dumplings, in Europe - with cauliflower. Broken ears are thought to be a professional injury in freestyle wrestling. Often, such an injury occurs in classical, Greco-Roman wrestling, less often in boxers.
Instructions
Step 1
Fracture of the auricles is the result of close contact of the wrestlers with each other, when the head of one of them is in a hard power grip, it, when released, can damage the auricle. The skull, in constant motion and grips, can withstand quite large squeezes, which the cartilages are completely unable to withstand. When the shell cartilage breaks, fluid is released under the skin at the rupture site. It freezes and takes on the most varied forms.
Step 2
Usually, if the auricle is broken, it is recommended to see a doctor immediately. But medical assistance is not always provided in a timely manner. Moreover, the qualified treatment of such an injury involves periodic procedures for pumping out the internal fluid. And before the end of treatment, wrestling must be forgotten. That in the process of preparing for a competition or during the competition itself is completely unacceptable for an athlete. Then he deliberately refuses treatment or puts it on the back burner.
Step 3
In addition to broken ears, wrestlers can also face other injuries - sprains, bruises, dislocations, broken noses and even fractures. And, like any injury, a broken auricle subsequently brings many problems. In addition to an impartial appearance, in old age, the ears begin to hurt. Aching pain constantly accompanies the former wrestler in the morning and when the weather changes. When you touch the ears, the pain will only increase, even after the athlete stops training. It will not be possible to use small headphones, as they simply will not fit in a deformed ear.
Step 4
Recently, cosmetology medicine has stepped far forward and can correct the deformation of the auricle, no matter how old the fracture is. It is worth it, of course, not cheap and allows you to correct only the appearance, but it is quite popular with wrestlers who leave the professional ring.
Step 5
An auricle fracture can be obtained without wrestling or boxing, but simply getting a fairly severe bruise. In this case, the auricle will swell and take on a purple-blue color. The site of the fracture or tear of the cartilage will hurt a lot. At the same time, the ear should not be touched, and even more so try to correct the cartilage on your own. You can apply a cold compress or ice pack to the affected area. If the skin is damaged, lubricate the edges of the wound with iodine and apply an aseptic bandage. Seek medical attention as soon as possible.
