ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the feasibility and safety of visualized acupotomy.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The ultrasound-guided acupotomy was applied to 52 cases of soft tissue injury and osteoarthropathy. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was adopted. VAS score was observed before and after treatment. The modified knee joint scale of hospital for special surgery (HSS) and Constant-Murley shoulder function scale were used to assess the joint function of patients with arthritis of knee and periarthritis of shoulder.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After treatment, VAS score was improved apparently as compared with that before treatment (6.560 +/- 0.893 vs 1.058 +/- 0.857, P < 0.05). The curative rate after one treatment was 48.1% (25/52) and the total effective rate was 98.1% (51/52). After treatment, HSS and Constant-Murley scores were improved apparently (both P < 0.05). In follow-up, the complications were not discovered, such as infection and nerve injury.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The ultrasound-guided acupotomy is the safe and effective therapy for soft tissue injury and osteoarthropathy and this therapy deserves to be promoted in clinical practice.</p>
