Abstract

Traditional acupotomy treatment can easily cause re-injury of soft tissues, and its safety is gradually being valued. With the development of imaging technology, visualized acupotomy operations are increasingly used in clinical practice. Starting from the development and evolution of acupotomy, the authors summarize the advantages and clinical application of ultrasound-guided acupotomy in cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, lumbar disc herniation and knee osteoarthritis.

传统针刀治疗极易造成软组织的再损伤,其安全性逐渐受到重视。随着影像技术的发展,可视化下针刀操作越来越多地应用于临床。本文回顾了针刀的发展沿革,就超声引导下针刀治疗的现状、特点及在颈椎病、肩周炎、腰椎间盘突出症、膝骨性关节炎等疾病中的临床运用进行综述,探讨针刀临床应用的优势病种及临床疗效。.
