Objective To investigate the effect of early functional exercise on limb swelling,pain and functional recovery in patients with distal radius fractures undergoing dynamic small splint fixation after manual reduction.Methods A total of 94 patients with distal radius fractures who were treated in Sichuan Province Orthopedic Hospital from March 2022 to March 2023 were selected and randomly divided into treatment group and control group,with 47 patients in each group.The control group was given manual reduction,dynamic small splint fixation and routine rehabilitation training.On this basis,the treatment group was given early functional exercise.The swelling value,pain level,wrist function,the levels of inflammatory factors,clinical efficacy and callus healing were compared between the groups.Results After treatment,swelling values and Visual Analogue Scale scores of both groups decreased.The value and score of the treatment group were significantly lower(P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences in Cooney wrist joint score in terms of time effect,inter-group effect and interaction effect(P<0.05).At different time points after treatment,Cooney wrist joint scores of both groups were higher than those before treatment,and the treatment group had significantly higher scores than the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the levels of C-reactive proteinand interleukin-6 in both groups decreased,and the levels in treatment group were significantly lower(P<0.05).The total effective rate in the treatment group(93.62%)was significantly higher,compared with the control group(76.60%).The Lane-Sandhu X-ray score in the treatment group was higher than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Early functional exercise can effectively alleviate limb swelling and pain,relieve inflammatory response,promote the recovery of wrist function and callus healing in patients with distal radius fractures undergoing dynamic small splint fixation after manual reduction.
