Effect of Knee Arthroscopic Surgery Combined with Orthopedic Brace Treatment on Perioperative Indexes,Knee Function and Joint Range of Motion in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis
Objective:To explore the effect of knee arthroscopic surgery combined with orthopedic brace treatment on periopera-tive indexes,knee function and joint range of motion in patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods:A total of 116 patients with knee os-teoarthritis from January 2020 to January 2023 were divided into observation and matched groups with 58 patients in each group.The matched group underwent knee arthroscopy alone,and the observation group used knee arthroscopy combined with orthopedic brace to compare the perioperative index,the rate of knee function and the range of joint mobility.Results:There was no difference between the two groups in the perioperative indexes related to operation time,intraoperative bleeding,incision length and hospital stay(P>0.05);There was no difference between the two groups in the knee joint assessment(HSS)and the American Knee Association score(KSS)of the American Special Surgery Hospital before treatment(P>0.05).Post-treatment,the HSS score and KSS score of the two groups in-creased,and the observation group was higher than the matched group(P<0.05);The total incidence of complications such as arthritis progression,joint bleeding and fibrosis,pad dislocation,prosthesis loosening and infection in the observation group was lower than the matched group(P<0.05);There was no difference between the two groups in terms of the maximum joint extension angle,maximum joint flexion and extension range of motion,tibial plateau caster angle and tibiofemoral angle before treatment(P>0.05).Post-treatment,the maximum joint extension angle,tibial plateau caster angle and tibiofemoral angle of the two groups decreased.The observation group was lower than the matched group,and the maximum joint flexion and extension range of motion increased,and the observation group was different with matched group(P<0.05).Conclusion:The treatment of knee osteoarthritis with knee arthroscopic surgery and orthope-dic brace can reduce and improve the recovery level of knee function,reduce postoperative complications,and improve the range of mo-tion of knee joint.
