Use of Masquelet Technique during Wound Repair Surgery in Elderly Patients
Objective To explore the use of Masquelet technique during wound repair.Methods 84 tibial post-traumatic osteomyelitis patients treated from May 2018 to May 2019 were selected and randomly divided into study group 1(Masquelet technique)and study group 2(Ilizarov technique),42 cases in each group.Treatment effects were probed.Results Total effective rate in the study group 1(97.62%)was significantly higher than that in the study group 2(83.33%)(P<0.05);the wound healing time and hospital stays in the study group 1 were significantly shorter than those in the study group 2(P<0.05);after 3d and 1w of surgery,visual analogue scale(VAS)scores in the study group 1 were significantly lower than those in the study group 2(P<0.05);after 1w,1m and 3m of surgery,hospital for special surgery knee score(HSS)in the study group 1 were significantly higher than those in the study group 2(P<0.05).Condusion Masquelet technique can remarkably shorten the wound healing time and hospital stays,relieve the pain degree,and improve the limb function and treatment effects.It is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
