Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The aim of this study was to report the effect of Korean medical therapy on pain and dysfunction after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
Methods: A 25-year-old man experienced severe pain after right ACL reconstruction surgery. He received Korean medical treatments such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and physiotherapy from July 10, 2014 to August 2, 2014.
Results: After the treatments, his visual analogue scale scores generally decreased and the range of motion of the right knee improved from 0° to 90°. Furthermore, the Knee Infury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score increased from 99 to 142.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that Korean medical treatments might be effectively used to treat pain and dysfunction after soft-tissue surgeries such as ACL reconstruction. Nevertheless, further research is warranted because of the limited sample size of this study.
