OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on multimodal @entity1337 after total knee arthroplasty. METHODS: Sixty @entity1 diagnosed as @entity626 and suffered unilateral total knee arthroplasty in the department of orthopedics, Zhejiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from March 2009 to May 2012 were randomly divided into control group and test group, 30 cases in each group. All the @entity1 received @entity12698 preoperatively, knee periarticular injection with the drug mixture intraoperatively, and @entity12698 and @entity1286 controlled-release tablets postoperatively. The @entity1 in the test group were also treated with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation each day after operation. All the @entity1 started doing functional exercises at 24 h after operation. Postoperative visual analogue scales(VAS), @entity2720 were recorded. RESULTS: The VAS scores of test group during postoperative 24 h to 1 week were 3.39 +/- 0.69, 2.79 +/- 0.51, 2.16 +/- 0.52, and 1.07 +/- 0.57 separately,which were lower than 3.80 +/- 0.86, 3.22 +/- 0.58, 2.53 +/- 0.54 and 1.38 +/- 0.52 in the control group. The passive and active range of knee joint motion in the test group during postoperative 24 h to 2 weeks were (30.67 +/- 3.65) degrees, (39.17 +/- 3.96) degrees, (47.83 +/- 4.86) degrees, (93.67 +/- 7.30) degrees, (107.67 +/- 7.51) degrees and (29.83 +/- 5.33) degrees, (78.33 +/- 8.24) degrees, (95.17 +/- 5.94) degrees respectively,which were higher than (28.67 +/- 3.92) degrees, (36.83 +/- 4.25) degrees, (45.17 +/- 5.17) degrees, (89.83 +/- 7.25) degrees, (103.17 +/- 7.37) degrees and (24.17 +/- 10.26) degrees, (73.83 +/- 9.07) degrees, (91.33 +/- 7.42) degrees in the control group. In the test group, 19 @entity1 had ring-shaped haemostasis impression to some extent in the skin of knee joint to different degree, and 5 @entity1 had @entity4530 formation. CONCLUSION: It is meaningful to apply transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for treating multimodal @entity1337 after total knee arthroplasty,which can not only relieve @entity1 ' @entity282 , and also promote the rehabilitation of knee function as far as possible.
