Objective To explore the effect of nursing intervention on the recovery of wrist joint function after resetting osteoporotic distal radius fractures. Methods Forty patients with osteoporotic distal radius fractures admitted to our hospital during the period from 02 2018 to 02 2022 were selected as the study comparison subjects, and these 40 patients were equally divided into 2 groups, the experimental group and the control group, with 20 cases in each group, according to the method of random grouping, and the comparability was proved by comparing the differences in the results brought about by different nursing methods of the two groups. Results The excellent recovery rate of wrist function in the experimental group reached 95%, while the excellent recovery rate of wrist function in the control group was only 70%, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The patients in the experimental group were 100% satisfied with the nursing care, while the control group was only 80%, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The length of stay in the experimental group was (11.56±1.49) d and the cost of hospitalization was (5167.26±136.46) yuan, while the length of stay in the control group was (23.64±2.14) d and the cost of hospitalization was (8469.47±465.21) yuan, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Nursing intervention has better efficacy on the functional recovery of the wrist joint after resetting osteoporotic distal radius fractures, can better promote the functional recovery of patients, and is worthy of wide application in clinical care.
