Abstract：Objective:To investigate the effect of Taohong Siwu Decoction on joint function recovery after knee arthroscopic surgery in patients with degenerative meniscus injury.Method:A total of 100 patients with degenerative meniscus injury who underwent knee arthroscopic surgery in Guangzhou Zengcheng District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected as the research objects,the patients were divided into control group and observation group according to the random number table method,with 50 cases in each group.The control group was given routine treatment after knee arthroscopic surgery,and the observation group was given Taohong Siwu Decoction on the basis of the control group.The curative effect,coagulation function,knee joint activity,pain degree and knee joint function were compared between two groups.Result:The excellent rate of the observation group was 96.00％,which was higher than 80.00％ of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05);the prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thrombin time (APTT) in the observation group at 1 week after operation were longer than those in the control group,the Lysholm knee function score (LKSS) score and the knee joint assessment form of American Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score at 4 weeks after operation were higher than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05);the ranges of motion of knee joint in the observation group at 2 and 4 weeks after operation were greater than those in the control group,and the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of the knee joint were lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion:Taohong Siwu Decoction has a significant adjuvant effect on patients with degenerative meniscus injury after knee arthroscopic surgery,it can effectively improve coagulation function,increase knee joint mobility,accelerate pain relief,and promote knee joint function recovery.
