Acupotomy Combined With Arthroscopic Surgery Clinical Research For The Treatment Of Knee Osteoarthritis

Objective:Evaluation of treatment effectiveness and accuracy of the diagnosis before treatment, rational patient selection and treatment programs to further improve the accuracy of the preoperative diagnosis of treatment made reasonably expected, treatment options, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effect.Methods:Collected in January2012to January2013patients admitted to our department meets the inclusion criteria and complete information patients completed follow-up. Sixty cases were randomly devided into an acupotomy therapy group (group A) and a conventional arthroscopic control group (group B),30cases in each one. In the group A, the acupotome closed lysis was used, and after7days use arthroscopic treatment; In the group B, using a simple acupotome closed lysis Both postoperative functional exercise. Two groups of patients were recorded before and after surgery of the knee symptoms, features and functions to improve the situation, the application of JOA knee score do postoperative good rate evaluation. Relevant information for statistical analysis.Results:The knee symptoms, characteristics and function score were significant differences (P<0.01) after treatment, A group were significantly better than group B. A group of clinically cured8cases (26.7%), significant improvement in20cases (66.7%), improved in2patients (6.7%); Group B clinical cure3cases (10%), significant improvement in2cases (6.7%), improved in21cases (70%), no significant improvement in1patients (3.3%). A follow-up group, no knee symptoms, characteristics and function improved with repeated and any discomfort. Group B,10patients still have symptoms worse.Conclusion:Acupotomy combined arthroscopic treatment of knee osteoarthritis, can effectively restore limb function. Using these methods in the treatment, the osteoarthritis type, individual patient circumstances, and choose the appropriate surgical approach, to develop "personalized" treatment programs. Adequate preoperative preparation and early postoperative functional exercise limb lines, thereby reducing complications and improve clinical outcomes. Acupotomy combined arthroscopic treatment of knee osteoarthritis has obvious clinical efficacy and advantages, safe, easy to operate, reflecting the advantages of Integrative Medicine is a feasible method for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee, it is worth promotion.
