OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of sternocleidomastoideus radiofrequency carbonation with local anesthesia under arthroscope for the treatment of @entity9282 in adults. METHODS: Twenty-six cases of @entity9282 were treated by radiofrequency carbonation with local anesthesia under arthroscope. The right side was in 14 @entity1 and left in 12. There were 11 males and 15 females with an average age of 22 years old. Sternocleidomastoideus and clavicula were pre-operatively marked. Through an artificial lacuna, arthroscope and radiofrequency probe were inserted. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 25 months (range: 15 - 71). According to the motion deficits, craniofacial asymmetry, head tilt and subjective assessment, there were 19 excellent and 7 fair outcomes. Most @entity1 showed a marked improvement in neck motion and head tilt with satisfactory functional and cosmetic outcomes. There was no nerve or @entity1317 , no recurrence, @entity281 and scar. The overall efficacy was satisfactory. CONCLUSION: The radiofrequency therapy for torticollis with local anesthesia under arthroscopy has a satisfactory efficacy. The advantages are minimal trauma, simple procedure, less @entity158 and better cosmetics.
