Abstract：Objective：To study the effect of tuina massage combined with Huoxue Zhitong fumigation lotion on functional recovery and quality of life after operation for ankle fractures. Methods： Selected 120 cases of postoperative patients with ankle fractures，and divided them into the experiment group and the control group according to random number table，60 cases in each group.

Compared the scores of Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)，ankle joint function and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-Brief Version(WHOQOL-BREF) in the two groups. Results：On the 15th day after treatment，there was no significant difference being found when comparing the scores of VAS in the two groups (P＞0.05). On the 30th and 45th days after treatment，the scores of VAS in the experiment group were lower than those in the control group，difference being significant(P＜0.05). Each score of ankle joint function and the total score in the experiment group were higher than those in the control group，differences being significant(P＜0.05). Each score of WHOQOL-BREF and the total score in the experiment group were higher than those in the control group，differences being significant(P＜0.05). Conclusion： The application of tuina massage combined with Huoxue Zhitong fumigation lotion has good effect in treating postoperative patients with ankle fractures， which can effectively improve ankle joint function and alleviate pain， thus promoting the quality of life.
