Clinical Value of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Rehabilitation After Flexor Tendon Rupture Repair of the Hand

Abstract

Objective: To explore the application effect and clinical value of musculoskeletal ultrasound in the rehabilitation of hand function after flexor tendon rupture repair. Method: In this study, 72 patients were selected from among patients who underwent flexor tendon rupture repair of the hand in Yancheng Third People’s Hospital from May 2018 to May 2020; the patients were randomly divided into the control group (routine hand rehabilitation training) and the experimental group (musculoskeletal ultrasound and targeted hand rehabilitation training based on examination results) by die roll, with 34 cases in each group; the hand rehabilitation of the two groups were compared. Results: The excellent and good rate of the total active motion (TAM) of the experimental group (94.44%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (69.44%) (P < 0.05); before treatment, there was no significant difference in the diameter and degree of stenosis of the artery in the finger between the two groups (P > 0.05); after treatment, the degree of stenosis and the diameter of the artery of the experimental group were significantly better than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: For patients treated with flexor tendon rupture repair of the hand, the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound in the rehabilitation process can significantly improve the functional recovery of the hand; therefore, it is worthy of in-depth research, promotion, and application in clinical rehabilitation.
