Abstract:
Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of centro-square needling plus stuck needling with lifting-thrusting manipulations in treating the injury of medial collateral ligament (IMCL) of knee joint. Methods Seventy-eight patients with IMCL of knee joint were randomized into a treatment group of 40 cases and a control group of 38 cases. The treatment group was intervened by centro-square needling plus stuck needling with lifting-thrusting manipulations, while the control group was by local anesthesia treatment. The therapeutic efficacies were compared between the two groups. Results The total effective rate was 97.5% in the treatment group versus 81.6% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Centro-square needling plus stuck needling with lifting-thrusting manipulations is an effective way in treating IMCL of knee joint.
