| Objective: To systematically review and analyze the reports on various Chinese patent medicines promoting the postoperative rehabilitation of osteoporotic fractures (OPF) and evaluate the application status. Methods: A search was conducted in the CNKI, Wanfang Data, and PubMed databases for the six Chinese patent medicines recommended in the "2023 Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of OPF in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)". Clinical prospective and retrospective controlled studies were included. The search period was set from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2024. The included literature was scored for evidence level and syndrome differentiation and treatment. Results: A total of 64 clinical studies were included for systematic analysis. Among them, JieGuQiLi Tablets were reported in 5 articles (7.8), GuShuKang Capsules in 4 articles (6.3), QuanDuZhong Capsules in 3 articles (4.7), QiangGuCapsules in 2 articles (3.1), XianLingGuBao Capsules in 34 articles (53.1), and JinTianGe Capsules in 16 articles (25.0). The drugs were used in 50 articles (78.1) for vertebral fractures, 3 articles (4.7) for distal radial fractures, and 11 articles (17.2) for femoral fractures. The literature indicated that the overall quality was relatively high, with 82.8% (53/64) being Ib level, all of which were randomized controlled studies. According to the theory of syndrome differentiation and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine, only 11 articles (17.2) used Chinese patent medicines reasonably, while 53 articles (82.8) did not record any clinical symptoms of the cases, and the use of Chinese patent medicines had no clear basis. All articles recorded therapeutic effect indicators, 31 articles (48.4) recorded imaging indicators, and 5 articles (7.8) recorded traditional Chinese medicine syndrome indicators. Conclusion: Different Chinese patent medicines have the effects of alleviating postoperative pain, promoting functional recovery, increasing bone density, and regulating bone metabolism. The current reports lack content on syndrome differentiation and treatment in TCM, and the evidence for using Chinese patent medicines is unclear. Strengthening the synergy between clinical diagnosis and treatment and improving drug efficacy is necessary. |
