Study on effect of arthrolysis combined with tenolysis in the treatment of proximal interphalangeal joint stiffness after replantation of severed finger
Objective To discuss the effect of arthrolysis combined with tenolysis in the treatment of proximal interphalangeal joint stiffness after replantation of severed finger.Methods 76 patients with proximal interphalangeal joint stiffness after replantation of severed finger were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 38 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional functional exercise and fumigation with traditional Chinese medicine,and the observation group was treated with arthrolysis and tenolysis.Comparison was made on clinical efficacy,complications,Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire(MHQ)score,activities of daily living(ADL)score and related indicators[total active range of motion(TAM),finger-grip strength]between the two groups.Results The excellent rate of functional recovery of replanted finger in the observation group was 86.84%,which was significantly higher than 63.16%in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of complications in the observation group was 7.89%,which was significantly lower than that of 28.95%in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of overall function,daily activities,appearance,pain,work status and satisfaction in the observation group were(83.31±10.69),(85.23±9.80),(77.02±8.25),(56.91±6.23),(75.36±9.53)and(76.31±8.67)points,which were higher than those of(71.82±9.87),(75.38±8.64),(59.13±6.46),(45.86±7.01),(60.27±10.06)and(64.44±8.28)points in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,ADL score,finger TAM and finger-grip strength of the observation group were(76.84±13.25)points,(164.87±26.57)° and(8.73±1.92)kg,which were higher than those of(67.06±12.43)points,(132.45±25.62)° and(6.45±1.57)kg of the control group.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Arthrolysis combined with tenolysis is effective in the treatment of proximal interphalangeal joint stiffness after replantation of severed finger,and has low complication rate and good recovery of finger function.
