ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of locking compressing plates (LCP) internal fixation under arthroscopy combined with Zhuyu Tongluo method in the treatment of distal radius fractures (DRF) and its effects on joint function, hemorheology, serum basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2).Methods:A total of 78 patients with DRF admitted to the Second Hospital of Tangshan City from June 2017 to January 2020 were selected and grouped according to the random number table method, with 39 cases in each group. The control group was treated with LCP internal fixation under arthroscopy, and the study group was treated with Zhuyu Tongluo method on the basis of the control group. The recovery, hemorheology (plasma viscosity, whole blood viscosity high cut, whole blood low cut, hematocrit), serum bFGF, BMP-2 levels, before and after the operation were compared between the two groups. They were followed up for 6 months and the range of motion of the wrist joints before and after the operation and the excellent and good rate of wrist joint function between the two groups were compared.Results:The swelling subsidence time, pain disappearance time, ecchymosis disappearance time, and fracture imaging healing time in the study group were shorter than those in the control group (10.37 ± 3.13) d vs. (14.62 ± 3.38) d, (12.39 ± 2.97) d vs. (17.14 ± 4.02) d, (19.15 ± 2.35) d vs. (24.36 ± 3.27) d, (68.21 ± 7.12) d vs. (80.07 ± 8.24) d, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The plasma viscosity, whole blood viscosity high-cut, whole blood low-cut, and hematocrit in the study group were lower than those in the control group at 1 and 2 weeks after operation ( P<0.05). The levels of serum bFGF and BMP-2 in the study group were higher than those in the control group at 1 and 2 weeks after operation at 1 week after operation (356.27 ± 46.29) μg/L vs.(236.51 ± 37.42) μg/L, (614.28 ± 61.47) μg/L vs. (487.39 ± 48.24) μg/L; at 2 weeks after operation(502.07 ± 113.21) μg/L vs. (381.59 ± 82.75) μg/L, (910.77 ± 97.20) μg/L vs. (731.35 ± 92.13) μg/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The palm flexion, back extension, radial deviation, and ulnar deviation in the study group were better than those in the control group at 6 months after operation ( P<0.05). The excellent and good rate of wrist joint function in the study group was higher than that in the control group at 6 months after operation 89.5%(34/38) vs. 70.3%(26/37), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:LCP internal fixation under arthroscopy combined with Zhuyu Tongluo method in the treatment of patients with DRF can increase the expression of serum bFGF and BMP-2, reduce inflammation, improve blood rheology, promote fracture healing, and improve wrist range of motion and wrist function.
