Objective This study was designed to evaluate the effect of innovative external fixation scaffolds on postoperative flap survival in patients with damaged heel requiring flap transplantation. Methods A total of 136 patients admitted to our department and receiving flap transplantation from March 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024 were selected for this study. The patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 68 patients in each group. The experimental group received innovative external fixed stent nursing, while the control group received conventional intervention means. The effectiveness of the external fixation stent was evaluated by comparing the survival rate of the transplanted flap between the two groups. Results The survival rate of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at 7, 14 and 28 days after operation (P<0.05), and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion The innovative external fixation stent has good clinical effect in improving the survival rate after heel flap transplantation, and it is worth promoting and applying in clinical nursing.
