Definition and cause


In a overstækning of a muscle can be one or more fibers inside the muscle rupture. This is called a fibersprængning. Over Rives whole muscle, called it a muskelruptur. This is seen rarely, because it requires a lot of energy, and the condition is more serious.
 
 
Fiber explosions are very common, and they often occur in sport, especially after insufficient heating. Explosions of muscle fibers may be seen in other situations where the muscle is stretched. The older you get, the more increases one's risk of developing a fibersprængning.

 

Symptoms of fibersprængning


In less than loads of muscle you can get a muscle-forstrækning. It gives rarely more symptoms, and heal quickly at rest.
 
 
If the muscle fiber rather burst, you will immediately feel a twinge in the muscle, and there will lie with pain. Inside the muscle comes a bleeding, and this will in the skin could be seen as a bruise. As the bleeding will highlight the field.

Complications


If there is a major bleeding, pressure may be in muscle gallery become so large that it afklemmer veins, arteries and nerves. It is a serious condition calledcompartmentsyndrome, And treatment is an operation where the surgeon slits muskelhinden, so the pressure eased.
