Release of gluteal muscle contracture by radiofrequency under arthroscopy

目的：探讨关节镜下射频汽化术治疗臀肌挛缩症的临床疗效。方法：2004年1月至2007年4月对86例臀肌挛缩症行关节镜下射频汽化术，术后随访6～18个月（平均12．6个月）。结果：86例患者术后以步态、并膝下蹲、交腿试验、对运动的影响为评价标准，其中优79例，良5例，可2例，目前随访时间内未发现症状复发者，患者自我感觉满意度为100％。结论：关节镜下射频汽化术能满意地完成臀肌挛缩症的治疗，且手术创伤小，恢复快。

Objective To evaluate the clinical therapeutic effect of the release of gluteal muscle contracture by radiofrequency under arthroscopy. Methods From January 2004 to April 2005, 86 patients with gluteal muscle contracture were treated by radiofrequency release under arthroscopy. The patients were followedup for 6-18 months （ mean=12.6 months ） . Results Getting carriage, squatting down while keeping their knees contacting, crossing leg test, and impact on movement were served as evaluation criteria. Of the 86 patients, 79 had excellent results, 5 good, and the rest 2 were acceptable. There was no recurrence at the last follow-up, and all the patients were satisfied. Conclusion For gluteal muscle contracture, radiofrequency release under arthroscopy has minimally invasion, good results and quick recovery.
