Core Tip	Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) ointments and tuina therapy integrate TCM and manipulation, which effectively promotes the penetration of TCM into skin lesions, improves local blood circulation and inflammatory reaction, and has a good long-term effect on patients. This study observed and compared several parameters after artificial knee arthroplasty in two groups. The control group received routine care, and the treatment group received routine care as well as a TCM ointment and tuina therapy. All parameters were significantly better in the treatment group, providing evidence that the integrated therapy may improve knee function in the long term.
