Objective To explore the clinical application of Ilizarov stretcher in the treatment of traumatic knee joint stiffness, and to compare the efficacy of soft tissue release around knee joint with CPM machine exercise.
Methods In this study, 36 patients with ankylosis after operation for periarticular fracture from March 2012 to March 2017 were treated with Ilizarov stretcher after soft tissue lysis. The therapeutic effect was excellent.
Results According to Judet method, the knee joint function was evaluated in the experimental group: excellent in 22 cases, good in 12 cases, fair in 2 cases, the excellent and good rate was 94.4%; in the control group, excellent in 3 cases, good in 18 cases, fair in 12 cases, the excellent and good rate was 63.6%
Conclusions Ilizarov stretcher is an effective method for the treatment of traumatic knee joint stiffness, which has the advantages of short treatment time and good function of knee joint after operation.
