Therapeutic Efficacy of Oblique Round-Edged Needles in Knee Osteoarthritis: A Mechanistic Study on Muscle and Cartilage Repair
The oblique round-edged needle improved the LequesneMG score and joint mobility of KOA rats, reducing damage to cartilage structure and delaying the progression of KOA by minimizing rectus femoris muscle injury.
