Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of immobilization with plaster cast applying in children's rehabilitation after knee arthroscopic surgery,and discuss the clinical significance of immobilization with plaster cast in children's rehabilitation after knee arthroscopic surgery.Methods A total of 72 objectives suffered from knee joint diseases were chosen and received knee arthroscopic surgery from January 2013 to November 2014.They were classified into the experimental group and the control group with the random digit table with 36 patients in each group.The control only underwent the regular rehabilitation exercise.The experimental group was given fixation with plaster caster before they got rehabilitation exercise.The three indexes such as pain degree,the compliance of children knee function exercise and the range of knee motion in different time courses were compared after operation.Results The VAS pain scores of the experimental group and the control group were (2.12±0.70),(2.37±0.61) respectively with statistical significance,P＜0.05.On the third day,one week and two weeks after operation,the complete compliance of children with knee function exercise was 83.3％ (30/36) vs.8.3％ (3/36),97.2％ (35/36) vs.22.2％ (8/36),97.2％ (35/36) vs.22.2％ (8/36) in the experimental group and the control group,Z values were-6.343,-6.400,-6.400,P＜ 0.01.On the second,third and fourth weeks after operation,the good rates of knee motion range in the experimental group and the control group were 50.0％ (18/36) vs.16.7％ (6/36),94.4％ (34/36) vs.83.3 (30/36),97.2％ (35/36) vs.81.6％ (31/36),Z values were-3.345,-2.861,-2.012,P＜0.01.Conclusions The use of immobilization with cast plaster in children's rehabilitation after the knee arthroscopic operation could significantly relieve the pain brought by the surgery,as well as increase the level of appliance of knee function exercises and improve the range of knee motion greatly.Therefore,it could help children to restore the knee function earlier and furthermore to promote life quality after receiving knee arthroscopic surgery.
