Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)	at 1 week and 1 month post-discharge	The SF-36 is a concise health survey divided into 8 subscales: physical function, role physical, bodily pain, global health, vitality, social function, role emotional, and mental health, where a higher score indicates a better health status.
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)	at 1 week and 1 month post-discharge	The VAS was used to assess pain levels before and after treatment in the two groups. VAS scores are positively correlated with pain intensity, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the most severe pain. A score of ≤3 is defined as mild pain, 4-6 as moderate pain, and ≥7 as severe pain.
Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale	at 1 week and 1 month post-discharge	The Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale was employed to evaluate knee function. This scale covers eight aspects, including limping, support, restraining, instability, pain, swelling, climbing stairs, and squatting. It is scored on a scale of 0 to 100. The total score is 100 points, with higher scores indicating fewer symptoms and higher levels of functioning. A score above 95 is considered excellent, 85-94 is good, 65-84 is fair, and less than 65 is poor.
The Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scale (NSNS)	at 1 week and 1 month post-discharge	The Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scale (NSNS) was used to measure patient satisfaction with nursing care. This scale consists of 19 items, such as nurse competence, communication, emotional support, and safety management. Each item is rated on a scale of 1-5, with a total score ranging from 19 to 95 points. A score of ≥77 indicates very satisfied, 58-76 indicates satisfied, 39-57 indicates moderately satisfied, and ≤38 indicates dissatisfied.
