Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided acupotomy of popliteal oblique ligament combined with intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis with flexion deformity. Methods A total of 108 patients diagnosed of knee osteoarthritis with flexion deformity in Qingdao Municipal Hospital from January 2021 to December 2021 were selected, and they were divided into treatment group and control group according to the random number table method, with 54 cases in each group. The control group was treated with intra-articular injection of Sodium Hyaluronate, and the treatment group was treated with ultrasound-guided acupotomy of popliteal oblique ligament basis on the control group, once a week, five consecutive times. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), visual analogue scale (VAS) scores before and after treatment were compared, the clinical efficacy and complications were compared between the two groups. Results After treatment, the HSS score of the treatment group was higher than that before treatment, and the HSS score of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The pain, stiffness, functional scores and total scores of WOMAC in both groups were lower than before treatment, and the treatment group was lower than the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, VAS score of the treatment group was lower than that before treatment, and VAS score of the treatment group was lower than that of the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The clinical effect of the treatment group was better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no complications such as infection, hematoma and allergic reaction in the two groups. Conclusion Ultrasound-guided needle knife release of the oblique popliteal ligament combined with intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate can significantly relieve knee pain and improve knee flexion deformity. The therapeutic effect is better than that of intra-articular injection of Sodium Hyaluronate alone, and have high safety.
