Objective To explore the effect of early lower limb massage combined with rehabilitation training on functional recovery of patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction under knee arthroscopy. Methods A total of 80 patients who underwent arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery in our hospital from May 2022 to May 2024 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 40 patients in each group. The control group received routine training, while the observation group received early lower limb massage combined with rehabilitation training. Compare the rehabilitation effects and patient satisfaction between two groups. Results The VAS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, while the Lysholm knee joint score, KSS score, joint range of motion, muscle strength, and patient satisfaction were all higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Early lower limb massage combined with rehabilitation training can effectively promote functional recovery, reduce pain, and improve joint mobility in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction under knee arthroscopy.
