Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the burning acupuncture therapy and exercise therapy on the internal derangement of knee with patella tendon and posterior cruciate ligament injury.

Conclusions: Burning acupuncture therapy and exercise therapy for internal derangement of knee with patella tendon and posterior cruciate ligament injury was effective.
