Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the effect of orthopedic nursing in patients with ankle fractures. Methods: A total of 84 patients with ankle fractures treated in our hospital from September 2022 to September 2023 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an observation group using a random number table, with 42 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing, while the observation group received orthopedic nursing clinical pathway on the basis of traditional nursing. We analyzed and scored the nursing satisfaction and nursing effect of the two groups. Results: Compared with the control group, the observation group had a higher total nursing satisfaction rate, shorter time to get out of bed, shorter hospital stay, and lower hospitalization cost. The Barid score and AOFAS score of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, while the NRS score was lower. Conclusion: The application of orthopedic nursing clinical pathway in patients with ankle fractures significantly improves their quality of life, promotes better recovery of ankle function, and shortens the rehabilitation time.
