Summary

Application of arthroscopic surgery used in treatment of patella fracture and calcaneodynia

Abstract

Objective

Application of arthroscopic surgery used in treatment of patella fracture and calcaneodynia in our hospital’s orthopedics from January 2015 to February 2016.

Method

Treatment efficacy and patient satisfaction were observed through the minimally invasive surgery treatments of 5 cases of patella fracture and 6 cases of calcaneodynia with assistant of arthroscopy over the past two years. The surgical treatment:1. Treatment of patella fracture: Observe the patella fracture by arthroscopy without incision, and after Kirschner wire restoration, hollow compression screw was across fixed without incision to restore. 2. Treatment of refractory calcaneodynia: Set up artificial channel to relieve the pressure of plantar fascia.

Result: Patients with patella fracture can walk one week after operation and begin functional training two weeks after operation. Patients with calcaneodynia can walk three day after operation and symptom of pain disappear one month after operation.

Conclusion

Operation of repairing patella fracture needs a long incision with obvious scars while it can recover quickly as well and even reduce scar by treatment of arthroscopic surgery. The main reason of calcaneodynia is the plantar fascia inflammation and bone spur is the inducement of pain. As a result, the plantar fascia decompression and bone spurs planing can be utilized to relive pain. Cases of choice: obvious pain and bone spurs embossment occurred in patients with reduplicative expectant treatment and curative effect was satisfying after operating arthroscopic surgery.
