[Soft tissue swelling in sports traumatology. Comparative study of the effectiveness of 2 ointments].
An open randomized study design was used to compare the soft-tissue swelling in patients with fibular capsule injuries under therapy with Chomelanum (preparation A), Lasonil (preparation B) and ointment base of Chomelanum (preparation C). 90 patients were selected for participation in the study, and the results of 85 patients were available for evaluation. Concerning the initial condition there was no significant difference between the three therapy groups of the study. Assessment criteria were the difference of circumference in plane of ankle joint (injured/uninjured side) and the difference of soft-tissue above lateral malleoulus in sonography. The study showed that preparation A had a significantly larger influence on soft tissue detumescence than preparation B- and B larger than C. In observation period all patients of group B and C still showed soft tissue swelling. Between third and fourth day of treatment half of patients in group A did not need any treatment because of complete detumescence. In all assessment criteria significant differences in favor of preparation A were observed.
