Effect of traditional Chinese medicine massage on the rehabilitation of spinal function in scoliosis patients undergoing 3D printing orthopedic surgery / 中国骨伤

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the effect of Chinese massage on the rehabilitation of scoliosis patients undergoing 3D printing orthopedics.@*METHODS@#A retrospective selection of 262 patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS) who underwent 3D printing technology orthopedics admitted to the Department of Orthopedics in our hospital from January 2013 to January 2019 were selected for clinical research. According to the rehabilitation treatment methods adopted by the patients after the operation, the patients were divided into control group and observation group, there were 131 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with traditional Chinese acupuncture and massage after operation, and the control group was treated with conventional rehabilitation. The torso rotation angle and the maximum Cobb angle before and after intervention were measured and compared between two groups, Oswestry Disability Index(ODI) was used for functional evaluation, and the visual analogue scale(VAS) was used to evaluate the changes in pain before and after rehabilitation intervention.@*RESULTS@#After the intervention, the trunk rotation angle and maximum Cobb angle of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group, the VAS score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group, ODI in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#After scoliosis patients undergo preoperative 3D printing correction, the scientific and reasonable implementation of TCM acupuncture and massage can effectively improve the patient's vertebral rotation angle, maximum Cobb angle, and improve the patient's spinal function.
