ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of hot compress with traditional Chinese medicine along related meridian and acupoint stimulation around knee joint on proprioception after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with remnant preservation. MethodsSeventy-five patients with anterior cruciate ligament rupture were selected as the subjects. The patients were divided into control group 1, control group 2 and observation group using random number table, with 25 cases in each group. All patients underwent The anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with autogenous tendon (gracilis tendon and semitendinosus tendon) under arthroscopy. After operation, the routine rehabilitation was conducted in the control group 1, the 2 the routine rehabilitation combined with proprioception training in the control group 2, and hot compress with traditional Chinese medicine along related meridian and acupoint stimulation around knee joint in the observation group on the basis of routine rehabilitation. After 4 months of operation, the test using CPM machine and Lysholm score assessment were performed. ResultsAll patients were followed up. The Lysholm score assessment of the knee joint was performed in all cases, Significant difference in the Lysholm score was found between the observation group and the control group 2(P＜0.05). But there was no significant difference in the score between the observation group and the control group 2 (P＞0.05). In terms of the knee joint passive angle passive angle reproduction, there was no significant difference in the three-stage deviation between the affected knee joint and normal side in the control group 1 （P＜0.05）. But in the control group 2 and the observation group, there were no significant difference in the three-stage deviation between the affected knee joint and normal side (P＞0.05). ConclusionHot compress with traditional Chinese medicine along related meridian and acupoint stimulation around knee joint can improve the proprioception after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
