Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effect of Korean medical treatment, specifically Homnis Placenta pharmacopuncture, bee venom injection and Danggwisu-powder, on a patient suffering from a lateral malleolus avulsion fracture. Methods : A 63-year-old female patient suffering from right ankle pain due to lateral malleolus avulsion fracture was treated with Homnis Placenta pharmacopuncture, bee venom injection, and herbal medicine(Danggwisu-powder). from May 20th to June $16^{th}$ of 2015. The change in patientcondition was measured with the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Scale, the verbal numerical rating scale, and via the ankle's range of motion. Results : After treatment, all obtained results showed improvement. The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Scale increased from 18 to 71, the verbal numerical rating scale changed from 8 to 3, and the ankle's range of motion improved. Conclusions : This study suggests that Korean medical care focused on Homnis Placenta pharmacopuncture, bee venom injection and Danggwisu-powder can be effective to treat lateral malleolus avulsion fracture.
