Interventions

CMP Group:After returning to the ward postoperatively, patients underwent training using a continuous passive motion (CPM) device (Hangzhou Meditech Instruments Co., Ltd., Product Standard: YZB/Zhe 20
2. Place the affected limb on the CPM machine in an abduction position of 10°–20°
3. Set the initial flexion angle at 30°, increasing by 10° daily
4. Each flexion-extension cycle lasts 45 seconds, with each session lasting 30 minutes, performed twice daily
5. Continue training until hospital discharge.
AET Group:Immediately upon returning to the ward after surgery, instruct the patient to perform the following exercises: 1. Isometric quadriceps contraction combined with ankle pumps: dorsiflex or p
