POST-SURGICAL ANKLE REHABILITATION THROUGH THE LENS OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE

Abstract

The ankle joint plays a crucial role in lower limb function, and injuries to this joint often necessitate surgical intervention. While surgery addresses structural damage, the rehabilitation of soft tissue and restoration of joint function remain vital for complete recovery. Traditional Chinese medicine offers a time-honored technique known as "traditional bone setting relaxation," which has demonstrated significant effectiveness in rehabilitating patients with ankle joint injuries. This study investigates the outcomes of ankle joint injury patients treated at the Longzihu Campus Branch of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
