Clinical Research of Liu's Manipulation Combined with Ozone on the Treatment of Chondromalacia Patellae
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of Liu's manipulation combined with intra-articular ozone injection on the treatment of chondromalacia patellae,in order to explore new idea of combining traditional Chinese and Western medi-cine in the treatment of patellomalacia.Methods:90 patients with chondromalacia patellae were randomly divided into ozone group,Liu's manipulation group and Liu's manipulation combined with ozone group,visual analogue scale(VAS),knee Lysholm function score,patella matching angle and serum tumor necrosis factor were measured.Results:The VAS scores and Lysholm func-tion scores of the three groups were significantly better than those before treatment at 3 and 6 weeks after treatment(P<0.05).The VAS score and Lysholm function score in the group of Liu's manipulation combined with ozone were significantly better than those in the group of ozone and Liu's manipulation at 3 and 6 weeks after treatment(P<0.05).The VAS score and Lysholm function score in the Liu's manipulation group were significantly better than those in the ozone group at 3 and 6 weeks after treat-ment(P<0.05).The patella fit angle and serum tumor necrosis factor were slightly better than those before treatment,but there was no significant difference between the three groups at 6 weeks after treatment(P>0.05).Conclusion:Liu's manipulation com-bined with intra-articular injection of ozone can effectively relieve patellofemoral joint pain and improve joint function,but has little efficacy on the change of patellofemoral joint force line and the expression of serum inflammatory factors.
