Abstract

Adequate postoperative pain control is an essential factor for the success of rehabilitation programs after meniscus repair (MR). The pulsed radiofrequency of the interspace between the popliteal artery and the posterior knee capsule (PRF-iPACK) is a recently developed method. This study aimed to evaluate the use of PRF-iPACK in patients who underwent MR. We performed PRF-iPACK guided by ultrasonography for patients who underwent MR with aggravated pain. PRF-iPACK was performed following MR four weeks after surgery. The pain was evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS), Lysholm score, and the Euroqol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D).

In this study, two patients participated. For the results, a week and three months after treatment, the mean VAS score, Lysholm score, and EQ5D improved from 7 to 1 and 0 respectively, and 42 to 86 and 90 respectively, and 0.48 to 0.82 and 0.92 respectively.

We concluded that PRF-iPACK is an adequate and safe procedure for managing postoperative pain after MR. It may enhance the postoperative rehabilitation program.

脉冲射频 iPACK（腘动脉与膝关节后囊之间的间隙）用于控制半月板修复术后的疼痛 - 病例报告

充分的术后疼痛控制是半月板修复术（MR）后康复计划取得成功的重要因素。腘动脉与膝关节后囊间隙脉冲射频（PRF-iPACK）是最近开发的一种方法。本研究旨在评估 PRF-iPACK 在接受 MR 患者中的应用情况。我们在超声波检查的指导下为疼痛加重的 MR 患者实施了 PRF-iPACK。PRF-iPACK 在 MR 术后四周进行。本研究有两名患者参与。结果显示，治疗一周后和三个月后，VAS评分、Lysholm评分和EQ5D的平均值分别从7分提高到1分和0分，分别从42分提高到86分和90分，分别从0.48分提高到0.82分和0.92分。我们得出的结论是，PRF-iPACK 是治疗 MR 术后疼痛的一种适当而安全的方法，它可以加强术后康复计划。

期刊介绍： Trauma Case Reports is the only open access, online journal dedicated to the publication of case reports in all aspects of trauma care and accident surgery. Case reports on all aspects of trauma management, surgical procedures for all tissues, resuscitation, anaesthesia and trauma and tissue healing will be considered for publication by the international editorial team and will be subject to peer review. Bringing together these cases from an international authorship will shed light on surgical problems and help in their effective resolution.
