Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of combined treatment of sodium hyaluronate and air pressure ballistic extracorporeal shock wave on patients with osteoarthritis of knee joint. Methods A total of 98 cases of knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into single group and combined group, with 49 cases in each group. The former merely received sodium hyaluronate treatment, and the latter received the glass acid sodium combined with air pressure ballistic extracorporeal shock wave therapy. The clinical efficacy of the two groups were compared. Results After treatment, the total effective rate (97.96%) in the combined group was significantly higher than that of the single group (85.71%), the difference between the two groups was significant (P<0.05); the VAS scores and Lysholm scores in combined group at each time point improved significantly better than the single group, the differences between the two groups were significant (P<0.01). Conclusions Compared with simple use of sodium hyaluronate, the effect of sodium hyaluronate combined with pneumatic ballistic extracorporeal shock wave on patients with knee osteoarthritis is more significant, it can effectively alleviate the pain and improve the knee function, so it is worthy of clinical application. Key words: Knee osteoarthritis; Sodium hyaluronate; Air pressure ballistic extracorporeal shock wave; Curative effect
