【摘 要】目的：观察软组织平衡技术治疗老年重度膝骨关节炎的临床疗效。方法：将60例老年重度膝骨关节炎患者随机分为治疗组和对照组，每组30例。对照组采用传统推拿方法治疗，治疗组采用软组织平衡技术治疗，2组疗程均为4周。观察2组临床疗效，以及治疗前后美国特种外科医院(HSS)评分和视觉模拟评分法(VAS)评分。结果：治疗组治愈14例，显效10例，有效5例，无效1例，总有效率为96.67%；对照组治愈7例，显效5例，有效10例，无效8例，总有效率为73.33%。2组比较，差异有统计学意义(P < 0.01)。治疗后，2组HSS评分和VAS评分较治疗前均有改善(P < 0.01)；且治疗组改善程度优于对照组(P < 0.01)。结论：软组织平衡技术保守治疗老年重度膝骨关节炎简单、实用、效果显著，适合临床推广。
