Abstract
To explore the effective treatment of orthopedic trauma infection, the cases selected were 35 patients with orthopedic trauma infection. The study period was from January 2020 to December 2022. They were divided into the study group (n = 18) and the control group (n = 17) through the double-blind randomization of the medical record numbered envelopes. The patients in the control group were treated with conventional debridement and dressing change, and the patients in the study group were treated with negative pressure sealing drainage technology. The frequency of dressing changes, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, wound healing time, hospitalization time, and good wound healing rate were compared between the two groups. The number of dressing changes, VAS score, wound healing time, and hospitalization time in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05), and the rate of good wound healing in the study group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Negative pressure sealing drainage technology for orthopedic trauma infection patients can decrease the number of dressing changes, reduce pain, accelerate the time for wound healing, shorten hospitalization time, and improve wound healing effect, which has the value of popularization and application.
