Effect of microplate internal fixation combined with upper limb washing in the treatment of proximal phalanx fractures / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of micro steel plate internal fixation combined with traditional Chinese medicine medicated bath in the treatment of proximal phalanx fractures.Methods From January 2012 to December 2012,100 patients with proximal phalanx fracture in Ningbo Mingzhou Hospital were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group,according to the digital table,with 50 cases in each group.The control group was treated by simple miniature steel plate internal fixation,the observation group was treated by microplate internal fixation combined with traditional Chinese medicine medicated bath.The clinical treatment effect was compared between the two groups.Results The hospitalization time and fracture healing time in the observation group were (8.35 ± 1.62)d and (49.35 ±3.85) d,respectively,which were significantly shorter than those in the control group [(8.95 ± 1.48) d,(57.82 ± 6.12) d],the differences were statistically significant (t =5.032,6.114,all P ＜ 0.05).The postoperative total active flexion degree and incidence rate of adverse reactions of the observation group (16.00％)was lower than that in control group (34.00％),the difference was statistically significant (x2 =18.485,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Microplate internal fixation combined with traditional Chinese medicine medicated bath in the treatment of proximal phalanx fractures has better treatment effect,and it has shorter treatment time and less complications.
