Sodium hyaluronate injection immediately versus 2 weeks after arthroscopic debridement for knee osteoarthritis / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Sodium hyaluronate injection after arthroscopic debridement of knee osteoarthritis can reduce postoperative pain and improve joint function, but there is a controversy on the time for the hyaluronate injection after arthroscopic debridement of knee osteoarthritis. OBJECTIVE:To observe the time of hyaluronate injection after arthroscopic debridement of knee osteoarthritis, and to compare recent rehabilitation effect of knee sodium hyaluronate injection for knee function after arthroscopic debridement of knee osteoarthritis between injection just after knee arthroscopy and injection 2 weeks after knee arthroscopy. METHODS:The clinical data of 100 knee osteoarthritis patients undergoing sodium hyaluronate injection immediately and 2 weeks after arthroscopic debridement were analyzed with prospective randomized control ed trial method, and the preoperative visual analog scale score, Lysholm score, 6 weeks postoperative visual analog scale score, 3 months postoperative visual analog scale score, and 3 months postoperative Lysholm score were recorded. The effects of recently rehabilitation of knee joint after surgery in two groups were compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no significant difference in postoperative visual analog scale score between immediate injection group (6.52±2.38) and 2 weeks postoperative injection group (6.54±2.37). The preoperative Lysholm score in the immediate injection group (43.44±16.18) was lower than that in the 2 weeks postoperative injection group (51.12±16.3). The 6 weeks postoperative visual analog scale score in the immediate injection group (3.2±2.46) was significantly higher than that in the 2 weeks postoperative injection group (5.1±2.68). The 3 months postoperative visual analog scale score/Lysholm score in the immediate injection group (2.72±2.70)/(80.58±15.63) were significantly higher than those in the 2 weeks postoperative injection group (4.72±3.07)/(64.96±21.68). The results indicate that sodium hyaluronate injection immediately after arthroscopic debridement of knee osteoarthritis is more favorable for recent rehabilitation.
