Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to report the effects of Korean medicine treatment on tibia, fibula, and patellar fractures with sequelae of poliomyelitis. Methods A 64-year-old male patient was treated with acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, moxibustion, and exercise treatment for 59 days after open reduction and internal fixation and tension band wiring surgery. The effects were evaluated using a visual analog scale (VAS), manual muscle testing (MMT), range of motion (ROM), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC), and EuroQol-5 dimension (EQ-5D) index. Results After treatment, VAS decreased from 7 to 2. MMT, ROM, WOMAC, EQ-5D and walking ability were improved. Conclusions This case study suggests that Korean medicine treatment could be effective for tibia, fibula, patellar fractures in patients with sequelae of poliomyelitis.
