ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical value of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in the perioperative period of total knee arthroplasty.Methods:Sixty patients who underwent primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty in Tonglu Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from July 2018 to June 2019 were included in this study. They were randomized as odd numbers to the control group ( n = 30) and even numbers to the observation group ( n = 30). The control group was treated with conventional rehabilitation treatment, while the observation group was subjected to integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine based on the concept of ERAS in the perioperative period of total knee arthroplasty. The perioperative pain, related complications, hospitalization expenses and length of hospital stay were recorded in each group. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the degree of pain and range of motion of the knee joint. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score was also measured to evaluate the curative effects. Results:At 3 and 7 days, 2 and 6 weeks after surgery, knee range of motion score was (63.40 ± 2.80) points, (86.20 ± 4.40) points, (90.30 ± 6.48) points, (100.5 ± 3.39) points, respectively, and at 6 weeks after surgery, HSS knee score was (89.40 ± 5.18) points, in the observation group, which were significantly higher those in the control group [(48.50 ± 4.20) points, (55.40 ± 3.58) points, (77.50 ± 4.38) points, (87.60 ± 4.58) points, (70.50 ± 6.44) points, t = 0.029, 0.013, 0.032, 0.039, 0.042, all P < 0.05]. In the observation group, the VAS score in resting state at 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours after surgery were (3.62 ± 0.40) points, (2.41± 0.52) points, (2.05 ± 0.62) points, (1.93 ± 0.28) points respectively, and the VAS score in active state at 24 and 48 hours were (2.15 ± 0.21) points and (1.71 ± 0.39) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(5.71 ± 0.63) points, (4.60 ± 0.31) points, (3.84 ± 0.22) points, (3.30 ± 0.21) points, (5.50 ± 0.49) points, (4.80 ± 0.21) points, t = 0.040, 0.035, 0.046, 0.042, 0.027, 0.024, all P < 0.05]. The proportions of patients experiencing postoperative urinary retention, mental disorder, or blood transfusion, length of hospital stay, and hospitalization expenses in the observation group were lower or shorter than those in the control group ( χ2 = 0.003, 0.005, 0.017, t = 0.040, 0.048, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine based on the concept of ERAS can mitigate postoperative pain, reduce perioperative complications, and promote the recovery of knee joint function, and thereby deserves clinical application.
