A Curative Effect Observation Of The Method Of Stimulating Blood Circulation To End Stasis And Diuresis On The Edema Of Extremity In Early Phase Of Merely Closed Medial Malleolus Fracture

Objective:The edema of extremity is one of the most common symptoms in early phase of fracture. Both traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern medicine have comprehensive and systematic understanding of it and provide a series of ways to treat it. Based on the understanding of the edema of extremity in early phase of fracture from both traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern medicine, the thesis discusses and summarizes the research of the two kinds of medicine on etiology and pathogenesis of the edema of extremity as well as the treatments. According to the theory of TCM, the method of stimulating blood circulation is used to end stasis and diuresis so as to treat the edema of extremity in early phase of merely closed medial malleolus fracture, and we keep observing the effect.Methods:By the order of time admitted to hospital,60 adult patients with the edema of extremity in early phase of merely closed medial malleolus fracture in our hospital from September 2010 to March 2011 were divided equally and randomly into two groups. The patients in therapy group received the treatment of XingShiTang,SanQiYe and QuShangPian for oral use, while the control group received the treatment of only SanQiYe and QuShangPian for oral use. We recorded and compared the degree of the ache, the total effective rate and the circumference of body.Results:1. Before operation and the seventh day in operation, there was no obvious difference between the two groups in the degree of the ache of the body.2. In the seventh day in operation, the effective rate of the therapy group was 96.7%, while that of the control group was 76.7%. The effective rate of therapy group was higher than that of the control group. Both groups had satisfying curative effect, but there were obvious differences(P<0.01)between two groups.Conclusion:The method of stimulating blood circulation to end stasis and diuresis is better than the method of stimulating blood circulation to end stasis in curing the edema of extremity in early phase of merely closed medial malleolus fracture, and it has no adverse effects.
