 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 12 Pulse compression fractures cold therapy in the role of preoperative care Of: Yang Min, Jin Xuefen, Liu Lihua, Xu Xiaorong [Abstract] Objective To investigate the pulse compression fractures cold therapy in the role of preoperative care. Methods 24 patients required surgical treatment of unilateral intraarticular calcaneal fractures were randomly divided into two groups: A group was treated with pulse plus compression cold therapy, B group with common intermittent ice cold 12 times / day; other care and treatment of the same; 24 hours after treatment, respectively, 48 hours of observation around the calcaneus and the time required for statistical swelling. The results of two baseline group were similar to the basic difference was not statistically significant (Pgt; 0.05); 24 hours after treatment, A group of patients an average reduction of around heel 7.38 +-1.10cm, B average reduction around the calcaneus in patients 4.10 +-0.90cm, The difference was statistically significant (P lt;0.05); 48 hours after treatment, A group of patients an average reduction of calcaneal around 8.79 +-0.62cm, B average reduction around the calcaneus in patients 7.54 +-0.96cm, the difference was statistically significant (P lt;0.05); A group of patients with an average time of 1.83 + -0.83 swelling day, B the average swelling in patients was 3.83 + -1.75 days, the time between the two groups was statistically significant (P lt;0.05); A group of patients does not appear deep vein thrombosis, skin necrosis, complications such as compartment syndrome. conclusions of calcaneal fractures in patients with preoperative care, giving pulse compression cold therapy, can significantly improve the local swelling, shortening before the swelling time, and good safety.
