Effect of study Huoluo Gukang pill combined with elbow plaster on the treatment of osteoporotic distal radius fracture in the elderly
Objective To observe the effect of Huoluo Gukang pill combined with elbow plaster on se-nile osteoporotic distal radius fracture in the elderly.Methods A total of 70 elderly patients with osteoporotic distal radius fractures admitted to Zhengzhou Orthopedic Hospital from August 2021 to July 2022 were select-ed as the research objects.According to the random number table method,they were divided into the control group and the observation group,with 35 cases in each group.The control group was treated with calcium car-bonate D3+elbow plaster fixation,while the observation group was treated with Huoluo Gukang pill+elbow plaster fixation.The imaging indexes,bone mineral density,pain degree,swelling and wrist joint function re-covery were compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in palmar tilt an-gle of distal radius,ulnar deviation angle and radial height between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05).After treatment,the palmar inclination angle was significantly decreased,the ulnar inclination angle and the radius height were significantly increased,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,there were significant differences in metacarpal inclination angle,ulnar devi-ation angle and radius height between the observation group and the control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in bone mineral density of greater trochanter,femoral neck,and Ward's triangle between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05).After treatment,they all increased to different degrees,and the observation group was significantly higher than the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in visual analogue scale(VAS)score and swelling between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05).The VAS score and swelling value were significantly decreased at the 1st,3rd and 6th week after treatment,and those in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The excellent rate of curative effect in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statisti-cally significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Huoluo Gukang pill combined with elbow plaster fixation can effec-tively alleviate the pain and swelling of elderly patients with osteoporotic distal radius fractures,improve bone mineral density,and promote the rehabilitation effect.
