Abstract:
Celecoxib is the most recent non steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic, and has been gradually used in the treatment of acute pain, rheumatism and osteoarthritis. This paper analyzes the analgesic effect of celecoxib in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and put forward a new mechanism of knee joint extensor reconstruction assisted by bone anchor. The experimental group was given celecoxib 200 mg/ time and 1 time /d. The results showed that VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) decreased gradually in both groups on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day of treatment and VAS in experimental group was lower than that in control group at the same time point (P<0.05). At the 1 year follow-up, experience group had a significant improvement on the Lysholm (69.33 ± 8.38 preoperatively and 88.65 ± 12.93 postoperatively) and Kujula (69.33 ± 8.38 preoperatively and 88.65 ±12.93 postoperatively) knee scores (P<0.05). The results showed that celecoxib had a good analgesic effect in patients with knee osteoarthritis and reducing the release of inflammatory factors may be its mechanism..
