| Objective:To observe the effect of synthetic rehabilitation therapies after arthroscopyic repair of type IB TFCC injuries.Methods:Twenty-two patients with type IB TFCC injury who underwent arthroscopyic repair were randomly divided into rehabilitation group and control group(n=11 each).Both groups were given routine postoperative cast fixation.Rehabilitation group was subjected to traditional Chinese medicine immersion,equipment training,manual therapy,intermediate frequency electrical stimulation therapy,ROM training,ADL training and rehabilitation education.VAS scores and ROM were evaluated.Results:After treatment for 6 weeks,ROM and VAS scores in both groups were significantly reduced as compared with those pre-operation (P<0.05).Three months post-operation,ROM scores in two groups were significantly increased as compared with those pre-operation and 6 weeks post operation (P<0.05),significantly higher in the rehabilitation group than in the control group (P<0.05);VAS scores in two groups were significantly decreased as compared with those pre-operation and 6 weeks post-operation (P<0.05),significantly lower in the rehabilitation group than in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusions:Postoperative synthetic rehabilitation therapies are beneficial to wrist function recovery after arthroscopyic repair of type IB TFCC injuries,which can increase the curative effect of the wrist arthroscopic operation. |
