Methods:From Sep. 2014 to Feb. 2016,60 postmenopausal women were divided into the arthroscopic group and the arthroscopic combined with TCM(Yangxue Gushen decoction) group,30 cases in each group. Blood samples were collected before surgery and 6 weeks after surgery,to test the levels of IL-6,TNF-α and E2. Lysholm scores before surgery and 8 weeks after surgery to compare the treatment effect of each groups. Results:Eight weeks after surgery,there was significant change on levels of IL-6,TNF-α and E2 in the arthroscopic combined with TCM group(P<0.05),also there was significant change on levels of IL-6 and TNF in the arthroscopic group(P<0.05),but no significant change of the level of E2(P>0.05),8 weeks after surgery, IL-6,TNF-α,E2 in two groups of comparison before and after the treatment has satitistical significance (P<0.05). Eight weeks after surgery,there was satitistical significance on Lysholm score between the two groups (P<0.05).
