Influence of Early Rehabilitation on Knee Function Recovery after Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Objective To explore the impact of early rehabilitation on the recovery of knee function following arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)reconstruction.Methods Eighty patients with ACL injuries treated at The 8th Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected.All patients underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction and were divided into an observation group and a control group,each consisting of 40 cases.The timing of rehabilitation intervention varied between the groups.The first time out of bed,total hospital stay,Visual Analog Scale(VAS)scores,and various time points of Barthel Index,Lysholm Knee Score,swelling of the affected knee,and range of joint motion were compared between the two groups.Results The observation group had shorter times to first ambulation and hospital stay compared to the control group,and lower 24-hour VAS scores,all with statistically significant differences(t=7.455,2.502,9.312,P<0.05).The observation group also had higher Barthel Index and Lysholm scores than the control group,with statistically significant differences(t=4.738,3.297,P<0.05).Conclusion Early rehabilitation can ameliorate pain,swelling,and other symptoms in patients after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction,enhance joint mobility,and expedite the recovery of knee joint function,thereby reducing the length of hospital stay.
