Objective To explore the risk factors of joint contracture after injuries of knee and surrounding tis-sues and provide guidance for early rehabilitation intervention of patients with knee joint contracture.Methods Retro-spective analysis of medical records of 150 patients with knee joint and surrounding injuries who visited the Second Affil-iated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from July 2017 to January 2023 was collected.According to the occurrence of joint contracture,the patients were divided into joint contracture group(case group)and non-joint contracture group(control group).Basic data such as gender,age,body mass index(BMI),injury type,pain and duration without effec-tive rehabilitation intervention were collected,and a multi-factor model was established and analyzed statistically.Results Joint contracture occurred in 104 cases after injury of knee joint and its surroundings,the incidence of joint contrac-ture was 69.33%.There were significant differences in gender,injury type,visual analogue score(VAS),and duration without effective rehabilitation intervention between the case and control groups(P<0.05).There was no significant differences in age and BMI between case group and control groups(P>0.05).Conclusions The male,VAS ≥3 points,injury type,and duration without effective rehabilitation intervention ≥30 d are risk factors of joint contracture.
