Abstract:
Objective To analyze the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation combined with functional exercise on patients with ankle fracture. Methods 86 cases of ankle joint fracture patients who were admitted to our hospital from September 2017 to September 2019 as the objects were analyzed. They were randomly divided into two groups according to the computer digital table method. 43 cases in the control group were given functional exercise after operation, and 43 cases in the experimental group were given Chinese medicine fumigation combined with functional exercise after operation. After 3 weeks of treatment, the fracture recovery, TCM syndrome score, ankle joint function recovery effect and treatment effect were compared and analyzed between the two groups. Results 3 weeks treatment after the operation, the bone healing time,pain disappearance time, clinical healing time and swelling disappearance time of the experimental group were shorter than those of the control group. After the treatment, the scores of movement disorders, joint pain, joint tenderness, joint swelling and joint red fever in the two groups were lower than those before the treatment and the experimental group were lower than those of the control group, which with statistically significant (P <0.05). After treatment, the Baird-Jackson ankle score of the experimental group was (91.17±6.02) points, and the AOFAS score was (90.95±7.14) points, which were higher than the (86.50±5.88) points and (83.27±6.93) points of the control group respectively, which with statistically significant (P <0.05). After treatment, the excellent and good rate of the patients in the experimental group was 93.02% and it was higher than 76.74% in the control group, which with statistically significant (P <0.05). Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation combined with functional exercise has a significant clinical effect in the treatment of patients with ankle fractures. It can promote fracture healing, improve TCM syndromes as well as promote ankle joint function recovery and improved ef?cacy.
