To construct the rehabilitation strategy of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction based on the evidenced method and evaluate the effectiveness in clinic.

The rehabilitation strategy was firstly built based on evidenced method. And then 80 patients from Department of Sports Medicine and Adult Reconstructive Surgery, Nanjing University Medical School Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital from January to August, 2019 were randomly and equably sent to experiment group and control group. Patients in experiment group or control group were accepted the evidenced method or regular method as treatment strategy, respectively. The visual analogue scale (VAS), thigh circumference, motion range of knee joint and Lysholm score were recorded before and after surgery.

Six papers met the inclusion criterion and were been screen out from 1 535 papers, and then the evidenced rehabilitation strategy of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was made. The VAS scores in 12 and 24 h were 1(0-2), 1(1-3) in experiment group and 2(1-3), 3(1-3)in control group, the differences were significant between two groups(Z values were 4.955, 6.489, P<0.001). The motion ranges of knee joint in 2, 4, 6, 12 weeks after operation were (61.6±5.1)°, (85.3±6.6)°, (114.6±5.2)°, (127.6±3.4)° in experiment group and(54.9±4.6)°, (71.0±8.8)°, (105.1±5.9)°, (115.8±4.0) °in control group, the differences were significant between two groups(t values were 6.209-14.138, P<0.001). The Lysholm scores at 6,8,12 weeks after operation were 58.8±3.7, 71.1±3.1, 84.3±3.7 in experiment group and 56.0±3.4, 65.4±4.3, 75.6±3.0 in control group, the differences were significant between two groups(t values were 3.511, 6.867, 11.439, P<0.001).

This evidenced rehabilitation strategy of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in this study was helpful to alleviating the pain, improving motion range of knee joint after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
