Floating Acupuncture Combined with Huoxue and Bone Broth was Used to Treat 32 Cases of Non-Traumatic Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head in the Early and Middle Stages
Objective:To retrospectively study the efficacy of floating needle combined with Huoxue and bone broth in the treatment of non-traumatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head in the early and middle stages.Methods:A total of 32 pa-tients with early and intermediate unilateral osteonecrosis of the femoral head after treatment with floating needle com-bined with Huoxue and bone broth were enrolled and followed up by telephone,and the pain visual analogue scale(VAS),Harris hip score and quality of life brief scale(SF-36)were evaluated before treatment,2 months after treatment and 1 year after treatment.Results:There were no serious adverse reactions during treatment,and there were subcutaneous ecchymosis at the treatment site of floating needle in individual patients,which generally recovered naturally in about 3 d.The results of ANOVA showed that the efficacy of different time points had different effects on all scores of patients,and the scores of VAS,Harris and SF-36 were significantly lower than those before treatment at 2 months after treatment and 1 year later,and there was little change during discontinuation of treatment.Looking back and analyzing previous cases,there were 10 cases of stage Ⅰ,17 cases of stage Ⅱ,5 cases of stage Ⅲ A,7 cases of cure,20 cases of clinical efficacy and 5 cases of ineffectiveness.Conclusion:The clinical application of floating needle sweeping and reperfusion combined with Huoxue and bone broth is safe and effective in the treatment of avascular necrosis of the femoral head,and can be used as a new choice for the treatment of non-traumatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head in the early and middle stages.
