Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical effect of floating needle combined with muscle patch in the treatment of acute ankle sprain.Methods A total of 99 patients with acute ankle sprain who visited Armed Police Fujian Provincial General Team Hospital from December 2023 to April 2025 were selected.According to the random number table method,they were divided into group A(33 cases with floating needle combined with muscle patch fixation treatment),group B(33 cases with muscle patch fixation treatment)and group C(33 cases with conventional bandage fixation treatment).The visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,ankle swelling,American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot scale(AOFAS-AHS)scores before and after treatment and clinical efficacy were compared between three groups of patients.Results The VAS scores of three groups of patients decreased with the extension of treatment time,the ankle swelling value decreased with the extension of treatment time,and the AOFAS-AHS score increased with the extension of treatment time(P＜0.05).At different time points after treatment,there were statistically significant differences in the VAS scores,ankle swelling values,and AOFAS-AHS scores among three groups of patients(P＜0.05).Three weeks after treatment,the VAS score and ankle swelling value in group A were lower than those in group B and group C(P＜0.05),and group B were lower than those in group C(P＜0.05).The AOFAS-AHS scores in group A were significantly higher than those in group B and group C(P＜0.05),and group B was higher than that in group C(P＜0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in the excellent and good rates among three groups of patients(x2=10.768,P=0.014),with group A＞group B＞group C.Conclusion The combination of floating needles and muscle patches for the treatment of acute ankle sprains can quickly relieve pain,reduce swelling,and promote rapid recovery of the ankle joint.
