Abstract

Objective: To observe the effect of early functional exercise rehabilitation nursing in patients after limb fracture surgery. Methods: 76 patients with limb fractures in our hospital (from August 2024 to October 2025) were selected and divided into a control group (38 cases) of conventional rehabilitation and an observation group (38 cases) of early functional exercise rehabilitation care according to the random number table method. The study observed the patient’s limb function, daily living ability, complication rate, quality of life, and satisfaction. Results: Compared with the control group, the observation group had higher limb function scores and daily living ability scores, lower complication rates, higher quality of life scores, and higher satisfaction scores, P < 0.05. Conclusion: Carrying out early functional exercise rehabilitation care in patients after limb fracture surgery can improve limb function and daily living ability, reduce the incidence of complications, and improve quality of life and satisfaction, which is worth learning from.
