Before surgery, attention should be paid to the treatment of basic diseases to ensure the stability of blood pressure, blood sugar and other indicators. If the surgical site has a large estimated amount of bleeding during surgery, anemia should be corrected before surgery and blood preparation should be done during surgery. Patients with open fractures should pay attention to infection prevention before surgery and be given antibiotic treatment. They should fast water on the day of surgery. After fracture surgery, if the limb fracture is performed, the extremity should be raised to promote detumescence. The fractured limb should be properly placed and protected. Moreover, the force should be evenly applied to prevent the limb from being suspended and the fracture site from being subjected to lever force or shear force. After operation, attention should be paid to observing the blood supply of the extremity, skin feeling and finger and toe movement, and to observing the healing of the incision, the drainage volume of the drainage tube and the color of the drainage fluid.
