Abstract

The authors observed and analyzed the clinical effect of minimally invasive surgery and conservative treatment for ankle degenerative osteoarthropathy. In the paper, 90 patients suffering ankle degenerative osteoarthropathy who were received and cured by this hospital from January, 2014 to January, 2015 are selected, who were grouped at random. Each group contained 45 cases. The paper took conservative treatment for the patients in the control group and minimally invasive surgery for the patients in the observation group, and compared the clinical effect of the two groups. Results show that the excellent and good rate of the observation group was 86.7%, the excellent and good rate of the control group was 82.2%, and the difference of the excellent and good rate between the two groups P>0.05. After treatment, the joint function score of the observation group was much higher than that of the control group, VAS of the observation group was much lower than that of the control group, P<0.05, and the difference was significant. In conclusion, the minimally invasive surgery could improve the ankle joint function of the patients suffering ankle degenerative osteoarthropathy and ease their pain.
