Abstract

To explore the clinical effect of an ACTED-based management strategy targeting stiffness and thrombus prevention in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Methods: A total of 96 patients who received anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in our hospital between May 2024 and May 2025 were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups, with 48 cases in each group. The control group received routine postoperative nursing, while the observation group was managed with the ACTED-based strategy for stiffness and thrombus prevention. The incidence of limb stiffness and thrombosis, pain intensity and knee joint function were compared between the two groups. Results: The observation group presented lower incidence of postoperative limb stiffness and thrombosis as well as milder pain than the control group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the WOMAC scores of knee joint function in the observation group were significantly lower after intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion: The ACTED-based management strategy for stiffness and thrombus prevention can reduce the incidence of limb stiffness and thrombosis, relieve postoperative pain and facilitate the functional recovery of knee joints in patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
