This randomized controlled trial evaluated the impact of Internet+ rehabilitation on outcomes for 120 patients with knee meniscal injuries undergoing arthroscopic treatment. The study found that the Internet-enhanced rehabilitation group had significantly higher compliance rates and improved Lysholm scores compared to the control group. Additionally, the KOA-positive subgroup had older age and longer preoperative durations, while Internet+ rehabilitation was associated with lower KOA severity.
Key findings
- The Internet+ rehabilitation group had significantly higher compliance rates and Lysholm scores compared to the control group.
- Kellgren-Lawrence grades were notably lower in the Internet+ rehabilitation group.
- WOMAC scores were significantly reduced in the Internet+ rehabilitation group.
- Advanced age and prolonged preoperative duration were identified as risk factors for KOA.
Why it matters
The findings suggest that integrating Internet+ rehabilitation can enhance patient compliance and improve functional outcomes in knee meniscal injury treatments, potentially reducing the severity of knee osteoarthritis.
