Study on the Effect of Arthroscopic Release of Deep Medial Collateral Ligament Combined with HTO Treatment on Knee Joint Mobility in Pa-tients with Osteoarthritis of the Medial Intercalary Compartment of the Knee
Objective To analyze the effect of arthroscopic release of deep medial collateral ligament combined with high tibial osteotomy(HTO)treatment on knee joint mobility in patients with osteoarthritis of the medial intercalary compartment of the knee.Methods The clinical data of 106 patients with osteoarthritis of the medial intercalary com-partment of the knee admitted to Jingshan People's Hospital from May 2021 to May 2023 were retrospectively se-lected.They were divided into the study group(arthroscopic release of deep medial collateral ligament combined with high tibial osteotomy)and the control group(arthroscopic release of superficial medial collateral ligament combined with high tibial osteotomy)according to the different treatment modalities,with 53 cases each.The two groups were compared in terms of clinical efficacy,knee function score and complications.Results The total effective rate of treat-ment in the study group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).At 1 and 3 months after surgery,the knee function scores of the study group were(62.66±1.32)points and(82.65±2.31)points,which were higher than(59.76±2.13)points and(76.54±3.11)points of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=8.425,11.482,both P<0.05).Comparison of complication rates between the two groups showed no statistically significant difference(P>0.05).Conclusion For patients with osteoarthritis of the me-dial intercalary compartment of the knee,the addition of arthroscopic release of the deep medial collateral ligament during HTO improves the function of the knee joint with better efficacy.
