Objective : To evaluate the short-term effect of polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) prolotherpay in patients with traumatic comcplete rupture of anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL).
Material and Methods : Fifteen patients (13 male, 2 female, mean age 34.4; range 20-54) with traumatic comcplete rupture of ATFL were included. All patients were diagnosed by ultrasound (US) and treated with US guided PDRN prolotherapy after ATFL injury following 2 or 3days. After PDRN prolotherpay, immobilization and clutch gait were applied for 3 weeks. Visual analogue scale (VAS), american orthopedic foot and ankle score (AOFAS), single assessment numeric evaluation (SANE) were measured pre-treatment, 1, 3weeks after treatment.
Results : One and 3 weeks after treatment, VAS, AOFAS, SANE score were significantly improved compared with pretreatment (Table 1). There was no complications after PDRN prolotherapy.
Conclusion : PDRN prolotherpay can be a useful treatment in patients with traumatic complete rupture of ATFL.
