Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the auxiliary effect of artificial tiger bone powder on the fragile fracture healing and functional recovery.
MethodsFrom June 2014 to June 2015, 64 patients with fragile fracture in the second Hospital of Tangshan were randomly divided into treatment and control groups, 32 cases in each group.All the selected patients were given routine treatment of fracture.The treatment group was given artificial tiger bone powder, while the control group was given vitamin D and calcium carbonate.The clinical fracture healing time of the selected patients were recorded.At the beginning and 3, 6 months after treatment, the Barthel Index (BI) and functional independent measure (FIM) were recorded.
ResultsThere was no significant difference in general condition, BI score and FIM score between the two groups before treatment.At the 3rd and 6th month after treatment, the BI scores were((65.74±7.94 ), (76.05±8.07 ) value), and FIM scores were((76.61±9.08), ((87.91±6.76) valu)], those in the treatment group were higher than those in the control group(BI: (61.12±8.67), (71.25±8.32) value and FIM: (71.03±9.34), (79.01±7.32) value), (P<0.05). The the fracture healing time in the treatment group was shorter((12.78±2.09) weeks) than that in the control group((13.94±2.32)weeks), (t=2.101, P<0.05).
ConclusionArtificial tiger bone powder can shorten the healing time of fracture, which has auxiliary effect on the healing of fragile fracture.It can promote the functional recovery of fragile fracture patients, and improve their life and activity.
