Abstract

Objective: To study and analyze the effect of traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic rehabilitation therapy on senile osteoarthritis. METHODS: Seventy elderly patients with osteoarthritis admitted to our hospital from March 2015 to March 2017 were enrolled. The grouping method is a random number table method, which is divided into an experimental group and a reference group, each of which is 35 cases. The patients in the reference group were treated with nimesulide orally, and the patients in the experimental group were treated with traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics. The clinical effects of the two groups were compared. RESULTS: The effective rate of treatment in the experimental group (97.14%) was significantly higher than that in the reference group (82.86%). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were significant differences in VAS scores and JOA scores between groups, and P < 0.05. Conclusion: The treatment of senile osteoarthritis patients with traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics has achieved remarkable results. The quality of life of patients has been significantly improved, the treatment efficiency has been improved, and the pain of patients has been alleviated. It is worthy of clinical reference and further popularization.
