Effect of Xiaozhong Zhitong Ointment on the redness,swelling,heat and pain and inflammation of preoperative treatment of Ⅲ,Ⅳ ankle fracture
Objective To observe the effects of Xiaozhong Zhitong Ointment on preoperative Ⅲ,Ⅳ ankle fracturejoint redness,swelling,heat and pain,and inflammatory index levels[white blood cell count(WBC),procalcitonin(PCT),hypersensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)levels,D-dimer(D-D)].Methods Sixty patients with ankle fracture were randomly divided into control group and TCM group,30 cases each.Control group was given routine treatment,and TCM group was treated with Xiaozhong Zhitong Ointment on the basis of control group.The local symptoms of the joints,inflammatory indexes(WBC,PCT,hs-CRP,ESR and D-D)before and after treatment,and postoperative wound healing were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the local symptoms of redness,swelling,heat and pain in TCM group were lighter than those in control group(P<0.05);the levels of WBC,PCT,hs-CRP,ESR and D-D in both groups were lower than those before treatment(P<0.05),and were lower in TCM group than control group(P<0.05);the wound healing in TCM group was faster than that in control group,and the incidence of wound adverse reactions was lower than that in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Xiaozhong Zhitong Ointment can improve local joint symptoms,reduce in-flammatory reaction,and promote postoperative wound healing in treatmont of ankle fracture.It has high safety and is worthy of promotion.
