ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of arthroscopic debridement combined with intra-articular injection of sodi-um hyaluronate in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Methods:One hundred and seventy-two cases with knee osteoarthritis were ran-domly divided into the treatment group and the control group. The control group received arthroscopic debridement, while the treatment group received intra-articular injection of 2. 5ml sodium hyaluronate after arthroscopic debridement. Lequence score, Lysholm score and visual analogue scale for pain were compared between the two groups before the treatment and after the 1-week and 3-month treatment, and the clinical effects were compared after the 3-month treatment as well. Results: Lequence score, Lysholm score and visual ana-logue pain scores after the treatment were lower than those before the treatment with significant differences (P <0.01) in the two groups. After the treatment,Lequence score, Lysholm score and visual analogue pain scores of the treatment group was lower than those of the control group with significant differences (P<0. 05 or 0. 01). After the 3-month treatment,the clinical efficacy of the treatment group was better than that of the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Arthroscopic debridement combined with intra-articular injec-tion of sodium hyaluronate in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis has better efficacy than arthroscopic debridement alone. The combina-tion can effectively improve symptoms, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of the treatment for femoral neck fractures with closed reduction and cannulated screw fixation.Methods The results of stabilization of the femoral neck fracture with cannulated screws in 62 patients(25 male,37 female)from 2001to 2008 were reviewed retrospectively.The mean age of the patients was 68.6 years old.Results 55 patients(88.7%)had cured,30 patients were been cured,25 patients were been good healthy ,7patients were not cured.The duration of follow up was 8-62 months in 62 patients.Conclusion Closed reduction and internal fixation with cannulated screw is an effective method of minimally invasive,safety and inexpensive for femoral neck fractures.
