Methods: 74 elderly patients with thoracolumbar compression fractures were selected from the Department of Orthopedics of our hospital as the research objects. After clinical examination, they were confirmed to meet the experimental entry criteria. At the same time, the patients were assigned to two groups by random number method, that is, the control with conventional care Comparing the clinical effects of 37 cases in each group and the observation group using gradual rehabilitation nursing. Results: After the intervention measures were implemented, patients in the observation group who applied gradual rehabilitation care had significantly higher quality of life scores than those in the control group (P<0.05); secondly, the observation group had better VAS scores, JOA scores and BI scores. Better than the control group, (P＜0.05). Finally, there were only 2 cases of complications in the observation group, with an incidence of 5.4%, while 8 cases in the control group had a complication rate of 21.62%, which was higher than that in the observation group, and there was statistical significance between the data.
