Abstract：Objective: To investigate the effect of shock wave therapy on meniscus healing and knee function recovery after meniscus laceration. Methods: 140 patients with meniscus laceration admitted to our hospital from October 2016 to October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into control group and experimental group according to the difference of treatment methods. The control group underwent meniscus repair under knee arthroscopy, while the experimental group underwent shock wave therapy at the affected area 2 to 6 weeks after operation on the basis of the control group. HSS score and Lysholm score were used to evaluate the knee joint function. The knee function and meniscus healing were recorded before and 6 weeks after operation. HSS score and Lysholm score were used to evaluate the knee joint function. Results: There was no significant difference in Lysholm score and HSS score between the two groups before surgery (all P>0.05). Lysholm score and HSS score at 6 weeks after surgery in both groups were significantly better than those before surgery in this group (all P<0.05). Lysholm score and HSS score of the experimental group at 6 weeks after surgery were significantly better than those of the control group at the same period (all P<0.05). The positive and negative rates of HSS in the experimental group were 87.14%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (χ2=5.638, P<0.05). The Lysholm positive and negative rates in the experimental group were 75.71%, significantly higher than those in the control group (χ2=5.235, P<0.05). Conclusion: The knee arthroscopic meniscus repair combined with shock wave therapy can effectively improve the joint function of the patients with meniscus laceration, and greatly promote the meniscus repair. This scheme not only has less trauma, but also has less side effects. It is worth popularizing and applying widely in clinic.
