Abstract:
AIM To observe the effects of Shangke Huangshui Gauze (Scutellariae Radix,Coptidis Rhizoma,Phellodendri chinensis Cortex,etc.) on postoperative knee joint pain,swelling degree and functional recovery in patients following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).METHODS Eighty patients receiving TKA and routine care in Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (FHTCM) from 2015.1 to 2016.1 were randomly and equally divided into observation group and control group.The patients in the observation group were given external use of Shangke Huangshui Gauze.The swelling degree,the score of VAS,and the score of HSS in the two groups were compared.RESULTS On the 7th,14th and 30th days after the surgery,the swelling degree in the observation group was lower than that in the control group.On the 7th,14th days,VAS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group.In the 1st,3rd and 6th months after the surgery,patients in the two groups got higher HSS scores,but HSS scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group.All the differences had statistical significances (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION The long-term external use of Shangke Huangshui Gauze can effectively relieve postoperative pain and swelling,and improve knee joint function in patients following TKA.
