Abstract
With the intensification of population aging, knee and hip joint replacement surgeries have become core methods for treating end-stage joint diseases, with over a million cases performed globally each year. Postoperative rehabilitation nursing, as a crucial aspect of enhancing surgical outcomes, reducing complications, and facilitating patients’ return to normal life, has its scientific and effective protocols directly influencing patient prognosis. This article systematically reviews the core research findings on rehabilitation nursing after joint replacement surgery based on the concept of evidence-based medicine, aiming to provide references for the formulation of standardized and personalized rehabilitation nursing plans in clinical settings.
