To investigate the clinical application of a new adjustable Brownian frame in the traction of calcaneal nodule in patients with ankle fractures.

Fifty-nine patients with ankle fracture undergoing calcaneal traction were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group was treated with the new adjustable Braun frame, while the control group was treated with the traditional Braun frame. The degree of affected limb swelling, tissue repair speed, perineal skin injury and pain score of the two groups were evaluated.

At 48h after treatment, the peripheral diameter difference of the experimental group was [(1.73±0.48) cm], creatine kinase was (295.64±52.67) U/L, VAS pain visual simulation score was 5.61±0.95, and perineal skin damage rate was 2% after using traction frame.In the control group, the values were (3.49±0.35) cm, (320.45±83.54) U/L, 7.57±1.17 and 21.4%, respectively, the P values are 0.032, 0.038, 0.016, 0.027 respectively, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05).

The new adjustable Braun frame can accurately observe the traction effect, reduce limb swelling, promote tissue repair, reduce perineal skin injury, reduce fracture pain, save storage space and other advantages, and is worthy of clinical application.
