Abstract:Objective To observe the effect of Chinese herb Tazi Decoction on functional recovery after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods From December 2020 to July 2021, 90 patients in Wangjing Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences who were undergoing TKA were selected as the study subjects. Two weeks after stitches removal, the patients were divided into control group and experimental group by random number table method, with 45 cases in each group. The control group was given Voltaren, and the experimental group was given Chinese herb Tazi Decoction. After two weeks of intervention, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, lower limb circumference difference value, Kendall percentage of quadriceps femoris muscle, range of motion (ROM), and knee score of American Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) were compared between the two groups. Results After intervention, VAS score of two groups were lower than those before intervention, and that in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group, HSS score of two groups were higher than those before intervention, and that in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). After intervention, two groups of lower limb swelling degree were lower than those before intervention, and that in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group. Both groups of active quadriceps muscle and ROM were higher than those before intervention, and those in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There were no adverse reactions in experimental group and control group during administration. Conclusion Chinese herb Tazi Decoction can significantly relieve the pain and swelling of limbs of patients after TKA, improve joint function, and promote the rehabilitation of TKA.
