Danger calling for too long


We call preoccupation unwitting person already holding the phone more than an hour. Though calling for too long could risk having a nervous breakdown at the elbow, known as 'cell phone elbow' or phone elbow.

Orthopaedist revealed that cases of 'elbow phone' is a nerve damage in his arm because his elbow bent too tightly, and in the long term. When a person holding the phone to his ear, then stretch the nerve occurs.

"When someone is talking to that position in a long time, then the blood supply to the nerves going to choke, so make nerve shortens, resulting in tingling," said Dr Peter J Evans, director of the Hand and Upper Extremity Center in Clevelend Clinic in Clevelend, Ohio as quoted from CNN, Tuesday (08/03/2010).

People who experience this condition called cubital tunnel syndrome who also felt weakness in his hands.

Experts said when this happens, you should immediately change hands before the condition gets worse because it can hamper someone's ability to write or type.

"The more a person to bend his elbow, and will reduce the blood supply that causes the blood can not flow through the nerves," said Dr Evans.

Dr. Leon Benson, an orthopedic surgeon and spokesman of the American Academy of orthopedic Surgeons said using cell phones in the long term could make the ulnar nerve being stressed. Ulnar nerve that travels through a branch of the forearm and hand are getting old will become weak and wounded.

"Nerves are designed to stretch, thereby becomes abnormal when a person bends his elbows or being in that position for one hour," said Dr. Benson.

Most cases like this requires a simple change in behavior, but in some cases affected the severe cubital tunnel syndrome should require surgical assistance.

This condition is not caused only by someone who is addicted to (addict) call, but can also occur in people who slept in the fetal position and elbow flexed or people who are always typed with the elbow flexed 90 degrees positions. Because bending your elbows as much as 90 degrees in the long term risk of stretching the ulnar nerve at 8-15 percent.

To reduce the risk of ulnar nerve disorder caused by this syndrome, there are several things you can do, namely;

1. Avoid activities that require a tight bend your elbows at 90 degrees in the long term.
2. Fix position or facility that supports the work so that your elbows are not too bent.
3. Try not to lean on his elbow in a long time.
