Abstract
Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of trans-tarsal sinus approach surgery combined with dalteparin sodium and furosemide in the treatment of heel bone fracture. Methods: A hundred patients with heel bone fracture who were hospitalized from August 2023 to January 2025 were selected and randomly divided into two groups of 50 cases each. The control group was operated by purely trans-tarsal sinus approach, and the observation group added dalteparin sodium and furosemide on this basis. Postoperative limb swelling, pain, coagulation and inflammation indexes, fracture healing time, foot function and complications were compared between the two groups. Results: In the observation group, postoperative limb swelling subsided faster, pain score was lower, coagulation and inflammation indexes improved more significantly, fracture healing time was shorter, foot function recovery was better, and complication rate was lower, P < 0.05. Conclusion: The treatment of heel fracture by trans-tarsal sinus approach combined with sodium heparin and furosemide can significantly accelerate the patient’s recovery and reduce the occurrence of complications, which has high clinical application value.
