Objective To analyze the clinical value of the concept of accelerated rehabilitation surgery in rehabilitation nursing of patients with knee osteoarthritis after total knee replacement. Methods A total of 120 patients with knee osteoarthritis admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected, all of whom received total knee arthroplasty, and were divided into 60 patients in each order of operation. The control group received routine nursing, and the observation group was supplemented with the concept of accelerated rehabilitation surgery. Pain, postoperative complications, knee joint score (HSS), ability of daily living (Barthel index) and quality of life (SF-36 score) were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with the control group, the postoperative pain in the observation group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications was lower in the observation group (P<0.05). HSS score, Barthel index and quality of life score of observation group were significantly increased compared with control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The implementation of the concept of accelerated rehabilitation surgery can significantly relieve the postoperative pain of knee osteoarthritis patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, reduce the risk of postoperative complications, improve their knee function and daily living ability, and improve their quality of life.
