Effect of Shujin Huoxue Decoction Combined with Cold Therapy Sequential Traditional Chinese Medicine Fumigation on Knee Joint Swelling and Pain in Patients after Total Knee Arthroplasty
Objective To analyze the effect of Shujin Huoxue Decoction combined with cold therapy sequential traditional Chinese medicine fumigation on patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods A total of 76 patients after TKA admitted to Tai'an Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from August 2021 to August 2023 were selected as the research objects and were divided into a control group and an observation group according to random number table method, with 38 cases in each group.The control group was treated with cold therapy sequential traditional Chinese medicine fumigation, and the observation group was treated with Shujin Huoxue Decoction on this basis.The clinical efficacy, knee swelling degree, knee pain degree, knee motion and knee function were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 94.74%, which was higher than 78.95% of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The difference between the knee circumference of the observation group after and before surgery was (4.88±0.63)cm, which was smaller than (5.71±1.25)cm of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).After treatment, the Visual Analogue Scale of knee pain in the observation group was (2.26±0.29) points, which was lower than (3.18±0.37) points in the control group, the maximum extension angle was (7.51±1.05)°, which was lower than (10.23±1.64)° in the control group, and the maximum flexion angle was (116.97±9.21)°, which was greater than (104.39±7.25)° of the control group, the Lysholm score of the control group was (80.49±6.75) points, which was higher than (71.36 ±5.83) points of the control group, and the differences between the groups were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Shujin Huoxue Decoction combined with cold therapy sequential traditional Chinese medicine fumigation can reduce knee swelling, relieve pain, improve knee motion and restore knee function in patients after TKA.
