Effect of nanomaterial assisted comprehensive nursing on the recovery of patients with meniscus injury after knee arthroscopy

Abstract

To explore the clinical effect of comprehensive nursing intervention on meniscus injury patients undergoing knee arthroscopy. Ninety-one patients with meniscus injuries were selected as research subjects from January 2019 to June 2021 and were divided into a control group (n = 45) and an observation group (n = 46). All patients received routine nursing intervention and wounds were treated with nano-silver antibacterial gel. The observation group received a comprehensive nursing intervention. Based on routine nursing, the rehabilitation effect of the two groups was compared. Meniscus pain, knee function, mental state, and postoperative complications of the two groups were analyzed. Before nursing, there were no significant differences in VAS score, knee joint function, and mental state between the two groups (P >0.05). After comprehensive nursing, the Lysholm score and Tegner score of the observation group were higher than the control group, while the VAS score, SAS, and SDS score were lower than the control group (P <0.05). After comprehensive nursing, the patient’s knee function recovery and the incidence of postoperative complications were significantly reduced. The patient satisfaction with nursing was higher and the overall nursing effect was better than the control group (P >0.05). Comprehensive nursing applied in arthroscopic surgery for patients with knee meniscus injury had a good recovery effect and reduced pain.
