The Study Of The Clinical Effect Of Floating Needle On Postoperative Rehabilitation Of Arthroscopy Rotator Cuff Repair

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of floating needle on postoperative rehabilitation after arthroscopy rotator cuff repair.MethodsIn this prospective study,60 patients with rotator cuff tears underwent arthroscopy rotator cuff repair in the Department of Orthopaedics of Sports Medicine,the first affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2020 to March 2021.The patients were randomly divided into treatment group(n = 30)and control group(n = 30).During the study period,1 case was removed and 2 cases fell off.Finally,27 cases in the treatment group and 30 cases in the control group were collected.The control group was given routine rehabilitation treatment after operation,and the treatment group was treated with floating needle therapy on the basis of the control group.All patients maintained shoulder abduction brace immobilization for 6 weeks after operation,and began to perform restrictive passive activity immediately during the immobilization period.The floating needle therapy in the treatment group was performed after the brace was removed.The VAS score,Constant-Murley score and SF-36 score were performed before treatment,after 2 weeks of treatment and after 6 weeks of treatment.The data were collected,evaluated and statistically processed by a third party to objectively evaluate the effect of floating needle therapy on rehabilitation after arthroscopy rotator cuff repair.Results1.There were no significant differences in VAS score,Constant-Murley score and SF-36 score between the two groups before treatment(P > 0.05).2.There were significant differences in VAS score and Constant-Murley score between the two groups after 2 weeks and 6 weeks of treatment(P < 0.05).After 2 weeks and 6weeks of treatment,the VAS score of the treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group,while the Constant-Murley score of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group.3.There was no significant difference in SF-36 score between the two groups after 2weeks of treatment(P > 0.05),but there was a significant difference in SF-36 score after 6weeks of treatment(P < 0.05).The SF-36 score of the treatment group was significantly better than that of the control group in the later stage of treatment.ConclusionsThe use of floating needle therapy in rehabilitation after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair can effectively relieve postoperative rehabilitation pain and improve shoulder joint function,which plays a positive role in promoting the process of postoperative rehabilitation and improving patients’ postoperative quality of life and surgical satisfaction.
