Objective:To investigate the effects of preoperative pre-rehabilitation on early functional recovery after knee arthroplasty under the multidisciplinary collaboration mode of accelerated rehabilitation surgery.Methods:The clinical data of 51 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty in the Department of Orthopedics, Jinjiang Hospital from September 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into an observation group ( n = 24) and a control group ( n = 27). The observation group received pre-rehabilitation before knee replacement surgery, while the control group did not. After completing the admission procedures, patients in the observation group underwent rehabilitation evaluation in the rehabilitation clinic and received individualized rehabilitation training. The control group did not undergo preoperative pre-rehabilitation but underwent the same individualized rehabilitation training as the observation group. The rehabilitation specialist evaluated the patients' rehabilitation scores [hospital for special surgery knee (HSS) score, visual analog scale (VAS) score] at 2 and 5 days after surgery. The main outcome measures included the range of motion (ROM) of the patient's knee joint at 2 and 5 days after surgery, HSS score at 2 and 5 days after surgery, VAS score at 5 days after surgery, the number of days from surgery to discharge, the incidence of postoperative complications, and the rate of outpatient visits after surgery. Results:There was no significant difference in postoperative ROM of the knee joint between the observation and control groups at 2 days after surgery ( P > 0.05). However, there was a significant difference in score of ROM of the knee joint at 5 days after surgery between the two groups [(100.08 ± 7.75) points vs. (88.44 ± 16.09) points, t = 3.34, P = 0.002]. There was no significant difference in HSS score between the two groups at 2 days after surgery ( P > 0.05). However, there was a significant difference in HSS score between the two groups at 5 days after surgery [(62.84 ± 5.78) points vs. (57.09 ± 6.53) points, t = 3.31, P = 0.002]. There was a significant difference in VAS score (exercise) between the two groups at 5 days after surgery [(3.42 ± 1.02) points vs. (5.37 ± 1.15) points, t = -6.39, P < 0.001]. There was no significant difference in the number of days from surgery to discharge between the two groups ( P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups ( P > 0.05). However, there was a significant difference in the rate of outpatient visits between the two groups [7/17 vs. 1/26, χ2 = 4.45, P = 0.035]. Conclusion:Preoperative pre-rehabilitation in the accelerated rehabilitation surgery model under multidisciplinary collaboration can help improve the early function of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, reduce the pain of postoperative rehabilitation, improve the postoperative rehabilitation compliance, and ultimately enhance patient satisfaction with the surgery.
