Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to to compare the therapeutic effect of minimally invasive surgery guided by magnetic resonance neurography(MRN) compared with non-magnetic resonance assisted minimally invasive surgery in patients with moderate to severe gluteal muscle contracture(GMC). The main question it aims to answer are: magnetic resonance neurography can better help optimize the surgical path of minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of gluteal muscle contracture. Participants will underwent preoperative magnetic resonance examination according to different groups, and then the experimental group designed individualized surgical approach and MRN-assisted minimally invasive release according to the imaging findings. In the control group, preoperative magnetic resonance examination was only used to assist in the diagnosis and evaluation of gluteal muscle contracture, and the magnetic resonance results were not used to assist in the design of surgical approach. In the control group, non-MRN-assisted minimally invasive release was performed. The researchers will compare the intraoperative surgery-related indicators and postoperative hip function scores and complications of patients in different groups to see if magnetic resonance-assisted surgery has a better postoperative effect.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Hip joint outcome score(HOS) scale

    The hip joint outcome score ( HOS ) was divided into two parts : the activities-of-daily-living ( HOS-ADL ) and sports subscales( HOS-SS ).The lowest score of the scale was 0, and the highest score was 100. The higher the final score, the higher the level of daily life and motor function of hip joint.

    one week after operation

  • Objective hip function scoring scale

    The objective hip function scoring scale is a scale used to objectively evaluate the function of hip joint. The hip joint function of patients is evaluated by doctors and scored one by one according to the items. The lowest score of the scale was 0, and the highest score was 100. The higher the final score, the better the hip joint function.

    one week after operation

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Hip joint function of patients

    One day before surgery and three days after surgery

  • Imaging data of patients with gluteal muscle contracture

    One day before surgery and three days after surgery

  • Record the duration of the patient 's surgery

    During surgery

  • The record of the length of the surgical incision of the patient

    During surgery

  • Measurement of intraoperative blood loss

    During surgery

  • +7 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Gluteal muscle contracture severity ZHAO 's classification

    one day before surgery

  • Demographic characteristics of patients

    one day before surgery

Study Arms (2)

MRN guided minimally invasive surgery group

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention measures of the experimental group were to analyze the relationship between the shape of the contracture band, the distance between the sciatic nerve and the contracture band, and the external rotation angle according to the preoperative MRN manifestations of the patients, and to design the individualized surgical approach according to the imaging manifestations and perform MRN-assisted minimally invasive release.

Procedure: magnetic resonance neurography

Minimally invasive surgery group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In the control group, preoperative magnetic resonance imaging was only used to assist in the diagnosis and evaluation of gluteal muscle contracture, and the results of magnetic resonance imaging were not used to assist in the design of surgical approach. In the control group, non-MRN-assisted minimally invasive release was performed

Procedure: no magnetic resonance neurography

Interventions

preoperative magnetic resonance neurography and assisted design of surgical approach

MRN guided minimally invasive surgery group

Preoperative magnetic resonance neurography was not performed, and general minimally invasive surgery was performed

Minimally invasive surgery group
