The first group included 18 patients with an average age of 31.05 years treated by open arthrolysis. The second included 15 patients with an average age of 31.66 years treated by arthroscopic method. The results were evaluated using the Mayo clinic score and DASH score for elbow function. In the open group, after an average period of follow-up 19.33 months, the average range of flexion-extension movement improved from 51.11° to 103.94°. The average Mayo clinic score improved from 63.38 to 92.83 and the average DASH score improved from 68.1 to 40.23. There were 13 cases (72.22%) excellent, 4 cases (22.22%) good and 1 case (5.55%) with the poor result. In the arthroscopic group, after an average period of follow-up 17.73 months, the average range of flexion-extension movement improved from 59.46° to 101.53°. The average Mayo clinic score improved from 62.93 to 92.73 and the average DASH score improved from 69.25 to 46.4. There were 10 cases (66.66%) excellent, 3 cases (20%) good and 2 cases (13.33%) with the poor result. Both open and arthro-scopic treatment can be effective in treatment of post-traumatic stiff elbow. Arthroscopic treatment is associated with less post-operative pain and morbidity. However, open treatment provides better range of motion and marked improvement of elbow function.展开更多
目的观察冲击波联合表面肌电生物反馈训练对创伤后肘关节僵硬的治疗效果。方法选取2021年1-12月在杭州市富阳中医骨伤医院康复科收治的创伤后肘关节僵硬患者80例,采用抽签法随机分配至对照组和治疗组,每组40例。对照组采用常规康复治疗...目的观察冲击波联合表面肌电生物反馈训练对创伤后肘关节僵硬的治疗效果。方法选取2021年1-12月在杭州市富阳中医骨伤医院康复科收治的创伤后肘关节僵硬患者80例,采用抽签法随机分配至对照组和治疗组,每组40例。对照组采用常规康复治疗(软组织松解、关节松动术、关节连续被动运动和冷疗),治疗组在常规康复治疗后采用冲击波疗法联合表面肌电生物反馈训练。两组患者每天训练1次,每周5 d,持续8周。比较两组患者治疗前后的视觉模拟疼痛评分(visual analogue scale,VAS)、肘关节主动活动度(active range of motion,AROM)、Mayo肘关节功能评分情况。结果经过8周治疗,两组患者的VAS疼痛评分、AROM、Mayo肘关节功能评分均较治疗前好转(P<0.001),治疗组在治疗后的VAS评分、AROM、Mayo肘关节功能评分改善值均优于对照组(P<0.05,P<0.001,P<0.001),两组患者治疗后均未出现不适症状。结论冲击波配合表面肌电生物反馈训练可以有效缓解创伤后肘关节僵硬患者的疼痛,改善肘关节的功能,并提高肘关节的主动关节活动度。展开更多
