Random divided into observation group and control group, each group of 50 cases, observation group on the basis of postoperative routine nursing acupuncture treatment; In the control group of 50 patients, routine postoperative care was given to evaluate the knee function of the two groups of patients and the values of aLDFA and aMFTA in the direction of the distal femoral axis. HSS knee function score was significantly improved in two groups (P<0.05), The HSS knee function score was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). The observation group aLDFA and aMFTA were superior to the control group (P<0.05). The difference is statistically significant. Acupuncture and moxibustion can promote the recovery of knee joint after replacement, which is beneficial to the rehabilitation of patients.
