This study evaluated the effectiveness of comprehensive nursing interventions in preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and improving postoperative outcomes in orthopedic patients. Eighty patients undergoing orthopedic surgery were randomized into control (routine care) and intervention (routine care plus comprehensive nursing interventions) groups, with 40 patients in each group. Comprehensive interventions included early mobilization, leg elevation, pain management, psychological support, and individualized dietary guidance. Outcome measures were postoperative lower limb swelling resolution time, pain scores, nursing satisfaction, and DVT incidence. Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups. The intervention group demonstrated significantly shorter swelling resolution time (14.65±2.20 days vs. 9.28±1.62 days, p<0.01), lower pain scores (6.68±1.64 vs. 4.08±1.53, p<0.001), higher nursing satisfaction (p=0.046), and reduced DVT incidence (7.5% vs. 35.0%, p=0.006). Comprehensive nursing care effectively prevented DVT, promoted limb function recovery, reduced pain, and increased satisfaction, supporting its use in clinical practice.
