Objective To investigate the effects of internal hot acupuncture combined with Maitland maneuver on post-traumatic knee stiffness.Methods A total of 68 patients who visited the Rehabilitation Department and Orthopedics Clinic of Ningxia Medical University General Hospital from May 2022 to March 2023 were en-rolled,as well as those who were in hospital for rehabilitation.They were divided into an observation group and a control group using random number method(n=34).The changes of knee joint pain,knee joint function and inflammatory factors were compared between the two groups.Results At the beginning of treatment,the gen-eral data of the two groups had no significant difference by the statistical analysis(Pall>0.05).After treatment,the scores of HSS and ROM in both groups were significantly higher,the scores of VAS and the levels of inflam-matory factors in both groups were significantly lower than those at the beginning of treatment(Pall<0.05),and the observation group was superior to the control group(P all<0.05).Conclusion Internal hot acupuncture combined with Maitland maneuver can effectively improve joint function and pain of PTKS.In the meantime,the level of inflammatory factors will decrease with the improvement of therapeutic effect.
