To investigate the clinical effect of the new lift elevated limb swelling patients with forearm fracture after operation.

Department of orthopedics, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from forearm fracture from June to December, 2014 in 40 cases, using suspension elevation as control group; 40 patients were from January to June, 2015, the new elevated upper lift as the experimental group. We compared between the two groups after the 1st and 6 th day of elbow and forearm 10 cm diameter difference; postoperative 1st day unused elevation of the swelling, pain and using the 6th day swelling, pain, elevation tool stability and patient satisfaction. The swelling effect of the limb were compared between the two groups and the comfort degree of patients.

In the experimental group, the difference of the diameter of the first 1st day and 6th day after the limb surgery was (2.53 ± 0.76) cm, the difference of the control group was (4.19 ± 2.36) cm, the difference was statistically significant (t=3.73, P<0.05). There was no difference in the degree of swelling and pain before and after the operation of the 1st day without the use of the lifting tool (P > 0.05). The degree of swelling, pain, stability and patient satisfaction were better in the experimental group than that in the control group after the operation of the first 6th day (χ²=12.792, 13.700, 75.96, 17.471, P < 0.01).

The utility model upper lift elevated of forearm fractures patients with postoperative swelling effect, patients with a higher degree of comfort, with good popularization value and application prospect.
