Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture plus functional exercise in patients with olecranon comminuted fracture.Method Seventy-sevenpatients with olecranon comminuted fracture were enrolled as the subjects and allocated, using a random numbertable, to a control group (38cases) and a treatment group (39 cases).The control group received routine rehabilitation such as postoperative functional exercise and the treatment group, electroacupuncture in addition.Inthe two groups of patients, the pain score was recorded at one,sevenand fourteen days after the surgery; elbow joint activity was examined at two days and two months after the surgery; the elbow function score was recorded at six months after the surgery.Result There was no statistically significant difference in the pain score between the twogroupsat one day after the surgery (P>0.05).Thepain score was lower in the treatment group than in the control group atsevenand fourteen days after the surgery (P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in elbow jointactivity between the two groupsat two days after the surgery (P>0.05). Elbow joint activity was larger in the treatment group than in the control group at two months after the surgery (P<0.05).The elbow HSS score was higher in the treatment group than in the control group at six months after the surgery (P<0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture plus functional exercise can effectively decrease the pain score and increase elbow joint activity and the elbow function score in patients with olecranon comminuted fracture.It has greater value in clinical application.
