针刀治疗缺血性股骨头坏死1162例临床报告

Objective: exploring the mechanism and techniques in treating ischemia necrosis of the femoral head using acupotomy. Method: clinical treatment of 1,162 patients, using acupotomy, along with individualized rehab therapy and exercise for one year. In the 12th month, a self-comparison is made. Results: acupotomy works well on 91.4% of the patients treated. Conclusion: treating ischemia necrosis of the femoral head using acupotomy can noticeably alleviate symptoms, improve functions, slow down the progress of disease, and encourage the self-repair of the femoral head. In the meanwhile, the therapy enjoys a noticeable strength in pharmaco-economics. It is desirable for teenage and young patients in particular, and for the patients in their early stage as well.
