Objective To study the clinical effect of acupoint sticking combined with meridian massage in nursing of patients after calcaneal fracture. Methods A total of 90 patients with calcaneal fractures who were treated in our hospital from March 2021 to June 2022 were randomly selected and divided into control group and observation group according to different nursing modes. The patients in the control group received routine nursing work. The patients in the observation group were given acupoint sticking combined with meridian massage, and the nursing effect was evaluated by analyzing the basic data of the two groups of patients. Results The postoperative complication rate of patients in the observation group who performed acupoint sticking combined with meridian massage was 6.66%, which was 17.77% lower than that in the control group at the same period, and the nursing satisfaction of the patients was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05).
