Objective To observe therapeutic effects of penetration needling to ying-spring and shu-stream point in combination with kinesitherapy on knee-joint function of postoperative patellar fracture. Methods Totally 117 postoperative patellar fracture were randomly divided into treatment group with 60 cases and control group with 57 cases. Both groups used kinesitherapy

the treatment group additionally used penetration needling method that took ying-spring and shu-stream point of the broken distal limb to penetration needling. Both groups were treated for 45 days. The researchers compared with range of motion

function and grades of pain degree of knee-joint in two groups before and after treatment and determined clinical curative effects. Results After treatment

grades of range of motion and function of knee-joint in two groups increased obviously

but grades of pain degree decreased obviously（ P < 0. 05）

and the treatment group was superior to the control group（ P < 0. 05）. The total effective rate was98. 33% of the treatment group and 85. 96% of the control group. The treatment group was superior to the control group（ P < 0. 05）. Conclusion Penetration needling to ying-spring and shu-stream point in combination with kinesitherapy has significant curative effects to knee-joint pain and dysfunction of postoperative patellar fracture.
