Clinic observation of extracorpoporeal shock wave combined with hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment in bone ununion after internal fixation of the limbs fracture
Abstract：Objective To evaluate the clinic application value of extracorporeal shock wave (ESW) com-bined with hyperbaric oxygen ( HBO) in the treatment in bone ununion after internal fixation of limbs fracture .Meth-ods A retrospective analysis was performed of 87 bone ununion patients after internal fixation surgery of limbs frac-ture(gap less than 10 mm,age less than 60 years).Among them, 46 patients in the trial group(group A) were treated by ESW combined with HBO, 41 patients in the control group(group B) were treated by ESW only.At 1,3,6,9,12 months after the treatment the X-ray film were fallen and local inspection were performed to observe the treatment con -dition.Finally,the curative effect were analyed by statistical software .Results The cure rate of group A was higher than group B,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05),the fellow-up results at 3,6 months showed the ef-fective rate of group A was higher than group B ,the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusion The ESW combined with HBO has the advantage of easy to operation ,less trauma and it is effective for the bone un-union(gap less than 10 mm) patients.The cure rate and early effective rate of ESW combined with HBO is better than ESW only ,so it is a good choice for bone ununion patients after internal fixation of limbs fracture .
