Objective To investigate the effectiveness of personalized treatment based on Hua Xi-knee dislocation and multiple ligament injury (HX-KDMLI) diagnosis and treatment system. Methods A clinical data of 36 patients (36 knees) with KDMLI met the selective criteria between February 2019 and September 2020 was retrospectively analyzed. There were 24 males and 12 females with an average age of 45.7 years (range, 21-62 years). The KDMLI was caused by traffic accident in 15 cases, heavy pound in 8 cases, sports sprain in 7 cases, falling from height in 4 cases, and machine cutting in 2 cases. The interval between injury and operation was 1-9 weeks (mean, 3.6 weeks). All patients were categorized according to HX-KDMLI diagnosis and treatment system. Twenty patients were categorized as acute period and 16 patients as chronic period. Three patients were type HX-Ⅰ-A, 1 type HX-Ⅰ-P, 10 type HX-Ⅲ-L, 13 type HX-Ⅲ-M, 4 type HX-Ⅳ-S, 3 type HX-Ⅴ-F, and 2 type HX-Ⅴ-T. Thirty-five patients were positive in both the anterior drawer test and Lachman test, 31 were positive in the posterior drawer test; 19 patients were positive in varus stress test, 23 were positive in valgus stress test. According to the Internation Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) grading, there was 1 case of grade A, 5 cases of grade B, 8 cases of grade C, and 2 cases of grade D. Surgical interventions included arthroscopic surgery, open surgery, or arthroscopy combined with open surgery, ligament suture or reconstruction, and internal fixation after anatomical reduction of the fracture. Different rehabilitation protocols were assigned to patients during different postoperative period, according to patient’s individualized classification. ResultsAll incisions healed by first intention with no obvious complications. All patients were followed up 12-19 months (mean, 15 months). At 12 months after operation, all patients retained muscle strength of grade Ⅴ, and range of motion of the knee joint could reach 0° extension and over 120° flexion. Radiographic examination showed no sign of knee instability, healed fractures, ideal joint alignment, good continuity and tension, and clear image of repaired or reconstructed ligaments. The anterior and posterior drawer tests were all negative. Lachman test was degreeⅠpositive in 5 cases, valgus stress test was degreeⅠpositive in 2 cases, varus stress test was degreeⅠpositive in 2 cases; the other patients were all negative. At 12 months after operation, according to the IKDC grading, there were 9 cases of grade A, 19 cases of grade B, 5 cases of grade C, and 3 cases of grade D, showing significant differences when compared with the preoperative ones (Z=–5.328, P=0.000). There were significant differences in the IKDC, Lysholm, and Tegner scores between pre- and post-operation (P<0.05). ConclusionThe promising effectiveness of KDMLI can obtain under the guidance of HX-KDMLI.
